>>64260347Everyone who bitches and moans about Battle Rifles should consult this image, unironically.If Hans the German conscript in the 70s could do it, so can you.
>>64260351If 12 year old M'beke can handle a rusty FAL or AK so can you
>>64260351Hans the German conscript bitched equally as much as the brownies on this board, he just didn’t have a global platform for it. Also he was bitching in German so it sounded funny
>>64260347Just weight the back.
>>64260347Just swing a 3 lb hammer at a rubber block until failure every day.
Spin these kickin rims and then slam your penith in the car doorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Md_MlC8Hc
>>64260347Muscle has nothing to do with it. Form does. Modern gun sport competition has vomited bad form and the side effects are obvious. The correct form for unsupported shooting is elbows in, lead elbow over hip. Firing chicken winged with your thumb over the top of the rifle is bad form. And any rifle will feel heavy quick.
Hear me out
>>64260444Cant wait for someone to try this, only to have it swing back straight into their testicles.
>>64260512>dive prone>balls smash right onto the weight
>>64260378How does that fix the front?
>>64260347How many times and sets do I have to do that?
>>64260857Forever
>>64260857Starting with quite a low weight because it is going to take the better part of half a year to condition all of the joints involved, before seriously considering doing that kind of weighted arm extension with 20+ pounds dumbbells.And if you don't, or think I'm being a pussy, lol enjoy your fucking wrecked shoulders and elbows in less than 5 years.
>>64261105Give us your regimen
>>64261105>>64260418I can do front raises with >20 lb dumbbells (and bench over 2 plates and deadlift just shy of 4) and I also hold a rifle this way and I still appreciate a lighter gun. I can accept weight if it provides sufficient benefit, but less weight is still generally a very good thing all else equal.
>>64260347I wish I had a time machine
>>64261152What for?
Stay in shape boys
>>64260347>people bitching about heavy rifles>M16A4 vetLol, lamo.
>>64260347Now try lugging it about on long-range patrol in the mountains, neverserved.
>>64260347Exercise doesnt fix bitch
Unironically, how do you fix fatigue during extended range trips. After about an hour I start noticeably swaying more and more. What workouts should I do?
>>64261113the ideal fitness regimen for strength and size, 3 sets 8-15 reps going from lighter to heavier if you have the weights, ideally 4 workouts a week, but 2 different ones that hit different muscles so that you work out all of them. first ones a light warm up, done slow with low weight and full range of motion, 3rd one does more than second one. Ideal rep, you raise for 2 seconds, hold for one, then go down for 2 secondsYou also need to do cardio.
>>64261380Take a few minutes to let your body recover. Drink some water, eat some chow and get some electrolytes. Went to the ranger earlier yesterday and I just had to sit in my car for a bit and recuperate.
>>64260444m203 adds this effect
>>64261389Not him but I'm considering buying a cooler just for range tripsAnd making some food too before going
>>64260347just make a few mods to ergonomic it for your week fatty arms.
>>64260347It's mostly gonna have to do with forearm strength. This is a better practical exercise.>>64260444Imagine doing that and where you'd feel it, that's why isolation sucks. You can't even isolate delts without a delt raise machine, you'll just get stuck around 20lbs because the leverage is held out way too far with your arms extended.
>>64261380Drink water and drink more waterHydration is essential
I can't pull back the hammer on my 45 with my arm straight, pointing to the target
>>64261380Bench, squat, deadlift, and shoulder press are all you need brother.
can you lift it is not the same question as can you point itable and optimal are not the same answer
>>64260351Everyone bitched and moaned so hard to battle rifles were dumped into the trash can of history and everyone adopted assault rifles (until a certain permanently stupid army went backwards)
>>64260347>said by the eternal noshoots nolarps every super in shape guy I've ever met, including myself, has wanted a lighter rifle because no amount of lifting will make a lifting up and aiming a front heavy rifle after a 20 mile hike feel any better>bro just lift more is a very >flat range>I shoot a magazine through my rifle>I put my rifle back down on the table in front of me while I reload type thing to say. Everyone who carries a fat fuck rifle for a living always wants it to weigh less no matter what. This has just been my experience with actually doing stuff with rifles that isn't flat range shooting into dirt things. The lighter the rifle, the better, to a certain extent
>>64260692balance
>>64260347this is a more difficult solution than just manufacturing a balanced rifle. would you rather equip your military with a rifle that requires them to do specialized training specifically to prevent them from becoming fatigued while using it, or one that is properly balanced and doesn't require that?
>>64261440where can i buy this
>>64260347https://saigoneer.com/vietnam-news/7684-vietnam%E2%80%99s-gold-medal-olympic-shooter-trained-without-bullets>Due to the high cost of ammunition, Vinh and his teammates seldom have the opportunity to practice with actual bullets. Nguyen Tan Nam, head coach of Hanoi’s shooting team, told Tuoi Tre that his squad of roughly 100 shooters had not “heard the sound of gunshot for ages”.>“As there is no ammunition, every day when they come here for training, the shooters just raise the gun, pull the trigger to hear the ‘tick’ sound, and that’s all,” he told the news outlet.>Due to ammunition shortages, shooters in Hai Phong have been using plastic bottles filled with sand to practice.

>>64261615>no back workshiggydiggyDo pull-ups
>>64261149Im confused by the weights you are claiming are you a man or a woman? 20lb front raises for sets, 225 bench, 300lb deadlift...those are females numbers at my powerlifting gym after about a year. Well, not the 20lb front raises. Thats where the middle school football team usually starts.
>>64262044Why would I give my men a well balanced rifle when I can get something cheap amf heavy from Sig instead?
>>64260362>>64260364congratulations, I chuckled.
>>64262472Those are my 50 rep maxes, I think that’s the standard form of measurement right?
>>64262039That's retrarded. Why would the rear of the gun being more heavy stop the front of the gun from being heavy?
>>64264114>50 repsAre you shitting me?
>>64264760No but I am shitting my pants from the protein shakes
>>6426476350 seems like an absurd number of reps to aim for. Basically any amount of reps over 15 is targeting the endurance of the muscle. It promotes the growth of blood vessels over fibers. That's fine. Endurance lifting is a good way to alternatively strengthen a muscle and break through a plateau in your heavier lifts. But 50 reps as a max? Typically the point of an endurance exercise is to keep going until the burn defeats you. I'd be going for 30 reps. I'm no trainer. Just some self taught guy. But wow.
>>64262057>where can i buy thisKeltec
>>64262057https://atlanticfirearms.com/rev-arms-45-long-colt-shotgunClose enough
>>64264757leverage
>>64264983But the weight of the front end is still on the front hand! This doesn't make any sense.
>>64262290Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are plenty of deadlift variations to stimulate the muscles of the back, right?
>>64265152Maybe shrugs or rows, but those aren't targeting the act of raising your arms in front of you.
>>64262068Shit like this is why olympic "shooting" is a fucking joke.
>>64265164Wouldn't the bench press and shoulder press in conjunction with each other work the same muscle groups used to hold up a rifle?
>>64265209You lift with your tits?I mean, yeah, you probably do lmao
>>64260347pushups are free
>>64265223He who lifts with his tits has forgotten the face of his father, I lift with my heart
>>64265225
>>64265223Man I'm just trying to ask some questions since you seem to know enough to feel like being a dick.
>>64260347https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HGba7UyBFa8
>>64265225Pushups are bad for your wrists.
>>64265252Random people jump into convos all the time, so don't assume you're always talking to the same guy.That said, OP's pic seems like the best non-tryhard exercise for keeping a rifle raised. The tryhard version would just be holding your rifle with a weight on the end.
>>64261105That’s interesting actually. Thanks for the warning
>>64260347agreed. i regularly shoot and glass with a wood furniture air rifle that with scope and IR clip on is probably about 10 lbs. when i pick up my 16" AR with a full magazine, I am blown away by how light it is in comparison. finding a good rest is key for a shot, but i consider everything else about holding that air rifle to be exercize.
>>64265289Maybe if your form is wrong. Try flaring your elbows about 40 degrees and position your hands just outside your pecs
>>64261380Go running
>>64265225So are rocks
>>64265289So is jacking off but that doesn't stop you
>>64260692
>>64265130google center of gravity.
>>64260444how dare you steal ancient chinese secret
>>64260444A C7A2?
>>64261105I just jumped into doing 20lbs. Am I fucked?I did it six years ago and I feel fine.
>>64267409Nerve gas
>>64267460That's what I call my farts. My wrist, now that I think about it, does hurt occasionally.
>>64260347>t.golem larper who thinks overloading your spine is heckin trad and basedEnjoy your hospital bills retard LMAO
>>64267567kys DYEL zoomzoom faggot, us quadrails chad millennial 90s kids will inherit the earth
>>64264757https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNzSWlP86SQBecause lifting unbalanced weight is hard.You are doing a lot of force just to counter rotate the weight,Meanwhile if you are lifting near the center of gravity, all can put all your force into just lifting the weight.
>>64264853uhhhh......I was just kidding though
>>64267567Strength your spine muscles and increase endurance, suddenly you can carry more and have more utility.
>>64267409It’s better to warm up and work up to it. After my meniscus surgery I felt like I could run 10 miles within a few months, and even pushed myself a little hard. Doc got on my ass that even if I feel fine and it doesn’t hurt, I could still be fucking up my meniscus and other ligaments irreparably. Take it slow and don’t do and dumb shit, it’s not worth it. I knelt down too hard larping and now my knee will never have the same amount of cushioning for the rest of my life, and I’m only 23. So even if it feels like bullshit and you know you could lift more, take it slow.
>>64267880You knelt down... too hard? What?
>>64267806If you aren't carrying a 100 lbs rifle I don't want to hear you speak DYEL larper
>>64267921You damn skippy!
>>64267921>100Lightweight baby. Maybe you should spend some more time on /fit/.
>>64260347How does that make the gun lighter? Instead of carrying more gun i can carry more ammo instead.>>64260351Battle rifles suck dick, this post made by SCHV rifle caliber gang
>>64264853I had no idea this was a real thing
