GORUCK Challenge
-
no exactly a short read but offers some pretty good insight. I think?

Wow. I go away from the forum for a few hours and return to this… Inspired. Thank you Z and Doug for the workout advice. It's much appreciated/needed. And, of course, a HUGE thanks to d666 for the idea. Like Monday, I am the type of person who feeds on tangible goals that push myself. The concept of putting an Iron Heart Team together for an unbelievable physical challenge -- and the fear of being the weakest link in a strong group -- is exactly what the doctor ordered.

BLACKFROSTT is in.
Lets see, I've basically lost around 65 lbs (currently 205lbs) the last year and 3 months…. I've been working out five days a week since coming to Afghanistan to work, and feel that this would be a great challenge for me to undertake... When this takes place, I will hopefully be in the best shape of my life.... -

not in shape enough for all that kettle-corn-stuff; plus i'm clumsy & can see me dropping it on my foot or hitting somebody in the head.
old school with very simple pull ups, dips, push-ups & sit-ups. jump rope, ride my bike or just walk around the block for light cardio. once that gets boring & easy i'll upgradeadd different elements to it.
with a year to get ready for this i can actually focus on diet as well as mental & physical fitness. plus if i go hard now i'll be board by the time it's time for the challenge. pace myself slow & steady to avoid injury & i think i'll be fine. slow & steady works for me.
of course every one is different, so do what works for you

if a plain round kettle bell doesn't do it for you, how about one that looks like an angry chimp

(by the way that wasn't directed at you monday, just random)
Jaco, you've done this before?
no but kinda ditto what monday said I've been on the verge… got one as close to local as I'm gonna get coming this summer
I think jaco wants in?
want in but I can't commit without a date, will be working on a 2014 work schedule in the coming months though, so I'm watching this space…
