Of course Peterson's going to recommend isometrics as the be-all, end-all of physical training, as that is what he's been pushing for two years now, in advance of selling his vastly improved 28' seatbelt which the Blowtards are all having multiple orgasms over. Of course, when this miracle will ever become available, if ever at all, is anyone's guess. For side-splitting, knee-slapping belly laughs, go here: A History of the Living Strength Isometric Power Belt Training System |

There will be a colony on Mars before his seatbelt and make-believe course ever see the light of day

It's not rocket science, here. You wanna know how you can physically make it through MCRD? You find out what there PT involves and then you spend about 3 months doing it prior to arriving at Boot Camp. It's all the other shit you might not survive.

I saw complete lardasses that could only do the bare minimum to get in turn into beasts in 3 months. One kid lost nearly 90lbs while we were there. I think I put on around 10lbs or so and I felt like I was starved to death the whole time. Sandfleas...they'll make you break too in their own little special way. |

I read the thread on the other forum. The kid mostly needs to gain weight before he can even get in. Well Uncle Fred says NO PROBLEM. And funny enough, it is just the program Reverend Twiggy dismissed that would be the very best thing for him: breathing squats. What I would have him do is workout three times per week. Each workout would begin with moderate poundage breathing squats; you need to go as heavy as possible for strength gains but for bodyweight gains no macho-and-crotcho stuff is necessary...just a moderate poundage as advocated by Roger Eells. I would have him do one good set of twenty breathing squats, followed by a ribcage expansion exercise (pullovers, or Rader chest pulls, or hanging on a chin bar with deep breathing, or cable front chest pulls on the inhale). Then one or two more exercises each workout period, from the following list: deadlift, dips, or pullups. If he doesn't have the strength to do dips or pullups he can do bench presses or bentover rows instead. And that is all! No direct abdominal work, no running or any of that for now. And EAT heartily and drink a gallon of whole milk every day, and rest on the off days as much as possible. I PROMISE that he can go from his current 129 to the required 140 in a month. Then after that, keep on weight training, and introduce all the other calisthenics and running that he'll do with the sarge yelling at him. The lung power he gets from the breathing squats will stand him in good stead when he starts the endurance stuff. Oh, and that stuff about kids getting double hernias from squats, that's pure crapola, for no other reason that a beginner doesn't have the strength to exert himself that much.
