whats the optimal fitness-level to not get kilt in da streetz?
>>65249161Moderate to decent strength, high levels of cardio, like pretty much all soldiers.aka, /fit/'s worst nightmare
>>65249161I can kill a man with one punch. That’s strong enough.
>>65249161It's always good to have a healthy body for both physical fitness and overall health. The real question is what is the MINIMUM fitness level required? The answer to that is that it's inversely proportional to the effectiveness of your weapon and your skill with it. If you're really good with a G19, you don't need a whole lot of strength or cardio. You can be fat and weak. It's all good. Whereas if you're using a knife, you better have the body that can compensate for it. The extreme version is having no weapon at all and having a conditioned body with good unarmed combat training.
>>65249161Cardio for one is vital to survival. You'll most likely be subdued at one point and forced at gunpoint to suck one or more dicks. They're not gonna let you stop sucking and boy is it hard to breathe through your nose with a massive wad of man meat in your mouth, I'd know! Either way, breathing and being a BJ King is your best bet for survival here. Blow their brains out or they'll literally blow yours.
>>65249788What if you train your jaw muscles really hard so you can bite their dicks off instead?
>>65249827They'll just shoot you immediately if you do that. It's just better to suck away.
>>65249927But what if you train your skull really hard so that the bullet bounces off? I’m pretty sure you can easily acquire a thicker skull just by browsing this website.
Ruck... kit up & ruck. Bare minimum. Get off the flat range and ruck. If you don't have kit, throw a loaded mag in every pocket of your pants, throw a backpack on with a couple liters of water, snacks, a few extra mags, & literally just hike with your gear. You'll start to see VERY quickly how out of shape you are, and how little of your larperator flat range experience translates into the woods or rough terrain. Trust me, there's nothing more humbling than being out of breath after walking for 15 minutes and not being able to see shit through a tiny red-dot past 10 yards in dense forest with your eyebrows dripping sweat and ticks latching onto your nutsack.
>>65250266Just because that's what you did in army doesn't mean it's not retarded, too light to fight too heavy to run
>>65249161>get kilt in da streetz?Niggers get kilt on the streets. Also learn to spell melanin enriched farming machine.
>>65250266>Ruck... kit up & ruck. Bare minimum. Get off the flat range and ruckHow does going in the woods and training like an infantryman benefit a civilian who wants to be in good shape for self defense? Wouldn't your energy be better spent getting your cardio up and learning some sort of full contact martial art like MMA, boxing, or grappling?
>>65250338>how?Look that’s what they taught him so that’s what he knows. If they didn’t teach it in infantry school then it isn’t important. Ironically and unironically.
Lower body is more important than upper.
>>65250338>Wouldn't your energy be better spent getting your cardio up and learning some sort of full contact martial art like MMA, boxing, or grappling?This is /k/ not /fit/. How does that help you with weapons handling and endurance the instant you step foot outside of your house? And I'm not saying you HAVE to ruck the woods, I'm just saying merely loading up with your gear and getting active somewhere other than a flat grade will show you how out of shape you are and it will help you identify deficiencies in your rifle setup and gear loadout. In the wise words of Riff Raff>its just a big stupid 2 for 1 special
Cardio first nigga. Build and maintain your fuckass cardio before trying to lift shit that you'll never lift.
>>65250515My experience with moving furniture across stairways, hiking, and weapon handling is that lower body fitness is not much of a limiting factor whereas more upper body strength and endurance is readily appreciated.Only area where I’ve particularly wanted stronger legs is in martial arts, and even then I would want a stronger upper body even more. Maybe if I bounced around like a monkey or marched a dozen miles uphills with 80 lb on my back I’d think differently but neither IJA cosplay nor Olympic long jump have been high on my list of priorities.
You don't need to be fit to use a gun, since the whole point is that guns are the ultimate equalizer. You're pic related if you think otherwise.
>>65249701This is utterly retarded, shut the fuck up forever.
>>6524916110/10 cardio3/10 strength5/10 speed11/10 mental and physical endurance fast enough to get where you need to be, long lasting enough to keep moving, just strong enough to carry all your shit to and from. pretty much goggins
>>65250266>Rucking when unnecessaryYou're fucking retarded.
I powerlifted for a long time and still do, but I started playing rugby a few years ago and its amazing for overall fitness.>lots of sprinting and explosive action>no breaks, two forty minute halves force you to learn to be tired>physical contact at speed>having to constantly make snap decisions in the midst of violenceIt's a great sport, highly recommend.
>>65250987Debate me, coward.
>>65249161You gotta outrun a 9mm at least
>>65250266>>65251033To be fair rucking is actually pretty good Zone 2 cardio, BUT with the big caveat of you never want to go above 15% of your body weight or you're just gonna fuck up your joints in the long term.
>>65249701>what is the MINIMUM fitness level required?If you can deadlift your bodyweight for 3 reps, do 5+ strict form pull ups, and run 3 miles around 30 minutes, and do an 800m dash under 5 minutes, you're already fitter than like 95% of the population.
>>65250533>This is /k/ not /fit/. How does that help you with weapons handling and endurance the instant you step foot outside of your house?Yeah but how does walking for hours in a bunch of "kit" help your self defense skills? You're not in the infantry and I cant even imagine a civilian self defense scenario that involves suiting up in your full battle rattle and ruck sack and marching for miles.
Fitness is for the gays. Real men work office jobs, drink excessively, smoke at LEAST one pack a day, and carry guns and get paid more so they can buy better guns. Your “health” schizo bullshit is a scam to sell you whey protein.
>>65249161Basic
>>65249222>/fit/'s worst nightmareI have no idea why /fit/ is so allergic to running. There are multiple cope threads at any given time seething about runners. /fit/ are perma dirty bulked fat bodies
>>65250612you're both wrong, core strength is where it's atliterally cannot have a strong core and be out of shape btw
>>65252730Body building has always been about men being impressed by men. It's why the japanese associate it with homosexuality.
>>65252730/fit/, and honestly most body builders, are basically m2m trannies who think the only metric that matters is staking as much gainz as possible at the cost of literally everything else.If you want a good laugh, look up mike israetel trying to do military PT tests and basically turning into a waddling penguin anytime a cardio/speed centric exercise comes up
>>65253215>the japanese associate it with homosexuality.Yeah because the japs are the arbiters of what's masculine and what's gay
>>65253200Core strength is practically a given with good upper body and lower body strength unless you, I don't know, only ever do seated isolation exercises or something.
>>65250030Just train your tongue muscles so you give really good head.
>>65252730>>65253215>>65253250running when you are 200lbs ist just destroying your knees. its the worst cardio sport. and it has an insane injury risk when you actually do it outdoorsy inawoods, one missstep, one slip and ankle or knee injury. cycling, elliptical, swimming, stepper, hiking... all superior to running. plus nobody is impressed by a lanklet being able to move his anorexic body around for hours, but lifting heavy stuff is actually a skill that you need in basically every physical labour job and at home too. just being able to carry furniture around and lawn mowers etc. safely youre basically a cripple if you cant do that. i had to help care for my grandparents when they became old and sick. grandma weighed 190 lbs and needed help to get out of bed and in her wheelchair. for that you need real strength, not some starvation tier runners body.
>>65249222> like any soldierDo you have actual tips on how can a civvie get to soldier levels of true functional strength?
>>65254023lmao, got one
>>65252730Spending about 10 minutes on /fit/ I've come to the conclusion that most of /fit/ is mentally ill, like legitimate troon-tier mentally ill.
>>65249927I can take a nigger dick in each hand, one in my mouth, one in my ass and jerk off one with my feet. So at any given time I can basically take on five dudes at once. I'm not even physically fit either. Imagine how dangerous a few dudes like me would be to a whole platoon in optimum configuration.Some people spend their entire life training to be a weapon when all it takes is using your mouth to subdue a man.
>>65254038Go jogging
>>65254023holy cope>t. hate running but not deluded
>>65254023Im a 210lb 11b vet. I put in 16 miles a week if time allows and can still muster a 29ish minute 4 mile. All while rocking 2.5/3.5/4.5/5.5 lifts. Everything you just posted is fucking cope
>>65253270No, but they are experts at being fags
>>65249161ask /fit/ you dyelfag
>>65249788>Cardio for one is vital to survivalBased dubs of rule #1, chkd
