or making a donation of any amount to I was recently asked about building strength to get ready for the fitness training in the Army so here are two things I recommend as far as getting stronger with a practical purpose goes.
Building strength for the army will mostly come down to the ability to be able to use your body easily on any plain of movement. Occasionally you will need to lift heavy objects like motor base plates, ammo boxes, different calibers of machines guns and of course in the worst case scenario, people. Seldom do exercises like bench presses serve a purpose. Bodyweight movements like chins and dips or better yet muscle ups that will help you lift yourself up over something are more what you need.
Two traditional weight training exercises that you will find handy however are lunges and deadlifts. You’ll find yourself stepping over and stumbling with more than bodyweight quite frequently. The lunges will prepare you for this.
The next exercise is deadlifts as I mentioned. All rep ranges should be covered with this exercise in training so that everything from loading 50 ammo cans to picking up the 50 cal will be within you ability level.
Getting in shape for the army doesn’t require a gym membership or any expensive exercise equipment. Just busting your butt. I put together a work out you can do on your own time and schedule right here http://www.commandocardio.com/Free-Report.html
