Animal mother: well there is always a progression and purpose to what is going on but a lot of it has to do with how the different parts of the body are holding up. And yeah, both sealfit and MA have been good sites for me in the past. But i tried to glean what i could from them and have tried to improve some things.
FightingIrish26: Thanks man, I am loving a lot of the stuff you are suggesting, keep it comeing man! when i am rich and famous you will be paid my friend!
Fighting Irish, I will have you know that I just blew an entire Amazon gift card that I received for Christmas on your book suggestions. Keep them coming if you think of any brother!

7 Rounds of the suck below…as fast as you can:
15 Squats with 315 or higher…your call…but 315 is the minimum
15 Burpee Pull-ups
14 Dumbbell Turkish Get-ups (Alternating Arms)
Run 400 Meters
*this even looks like a rough day on paper…Uggg, if done intensely, this may make your heart explode…[/quote]
So you want us to do 7*15 reps of 315 or higher squat? 105 reps of 315 lbs squat?! You’re crazy.

Owned.
correct ^
Whatever E-thug, show us the video.
E-thug? Ha. Every serious athlete knows what he or she can manage. If you’re not at the 315 mark then do a weight that you can. Not rocket science. Why bother posting in this thread if it’s not your thing? Silence is golden people 
Even e-silence. Especially e-silence.

Indeed.
And i’m not sure I have ever been called e-thug before…If you want vids man, search Alphatnation on Youtube, i have plenty of them up there.
Was never mad by the way, just responded to you calling my workouts “Crap” and calling me “Crazy”. Unfortunately, i hold everyone accountable to their words…
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
-Phillip Brooks
Just something to think about next time you call someone who is getting it done “crazy”…
No hard feelings brother,
Your BFF,
e-thug
such sweet golden e-silence…
Sincerely,
the real e-thug…
hahahahahahahah Win! i bow to your e-thuggy-ness!
Fighting Irish & others who are interested on reading on the topic…
Just read:
On Killing and On Combat by Dave Grossman…Both good but I like On Combat much better.
The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker…also a great book.
Just bought:
In Search of the Warrior Spirit by Richard Strozzi-Heckler
and
The intuitive Warrior by Michael Jaco.
Skimming through both, they look like worth the read, i will let you know after i am done them.
I started a thread over here on this, but I guess it just got moved.
Anyway, check these out if you guys are interested in some tough workouts.

I can’t remember which of those I read…I think it was On Killing but it was a long time ago.
You’ll like the “Warrior Spirit.” He’s kind of a san-franciso hippie pussy, but that makes the dynamic between him and the SF guys that much more interesting. I enjoyed it.
What’s the gift of fear about?

Yeah i just started the warrior spirit one last night and was catching that feeling.
and “The gift of fear” is about intuition and how listening to it can save your arse…It is a pretty good read.
Gentlemen,
I find it at once inspiring and slightly embarrassing that people actually operate at this level of fitness. To anyone actively following this program as laid out, outstanding work. It’s nice to have something to shoot for.
I’m sure anyone keeping up with this would absolutely crush any military or law enforcement PFT out there.
As for the reading selections; “On Combat” is excellent in my opinion and should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the subject. “On Killing” is good but comparatively dry. “Warrior Spirit” was entertaining, hippie pussy thing aside. I might also add Von Clausewitz(sp?)to the list, maybe a little dated but still very relevant. Stoic philosophy (Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus(sp?)Seneca) while not specific to warfare is also applicable to combat/hardship and provides a western counter point for Sun Tzu and Musashi. Just my 2 cents.
Batman: Thanks man, and great suggestions for the reading.
And you would be surprised how many guys out there workout like this, and actually make these sessions look very average. We follow this one because i write them, but every single day where i work, we have anywhere from 6 to 12 people, sometimes up to 30+ doing these.
If you think of any other books, list them out man!
And you do this WHILE recovering from an injury?
<< Speechless

Excellent post, and fantastic recommendations. I’ve got to read Von Clausewitz as well, and the others are good as well… I have not read Marcus Aurelius but plan to.
This-
Made me laugh.
