I love the Sam sulek thumbnails

[@valoredramack9117]

I went to SFAS back in the early 2000s. I did great with the physical fitness challenges, but I didn't pass because of the STAR land navigation course which was an instant elimination back then. The course was about five land navigation points spread out covering between 2 and 13km’s per point while carrying a dummy rifle and a heavy load of equipment on your back. And I went in the Summer time when the vegetation was the worst. I am usually good at land nav but that course was a nightmare. Plus I ended up getting stung on my throat by a giant wasp while carrying all of that heavy equipment through thick brush, it was one of the worst days of my life outside of combat deployments. I am not sure if SFAS still has the STAR course these days.

I love the goofy ass thumbnails

[@user-to9pp8dx7p]

Sam sulek wouldn't make it far in any pipeline.

[@ranfan1820]

But he did pass the thumbnail pipeline

[@TheBeast-qv2gy]

If he jumps off the juice and starts doing cardio,he probably could. He was a swimmer before a "bodybuilder"

There’s def a correlation between running ability (even strength) improves ruck performance

Is zercher squat good?

[@SOFPrepCoach]

I don't program it often, but it's a good exercise

[@TheBeast-qv2gy]

Personally it’s great

[@noalane3626]

How are they determining grit?!

[@SOFPrepCoach]

There were several different questionnaires the candidates completed which together were used to score Grit

A friend of mine failed during gate week. The ruck weighed about 70lb+

[@Kumar-ez6md]

[@Tovashi]

​@@Kumar-ez6mdBetter hope you can land nav with it on.

[@masterslayr641]

@@Kumar-ez6mdLMFAOOOO! Homie you better be doing sub 2:30 with 65LB or heavier ruck! Not just that but do that ruck and be ready to go hit the next event with the same intensity!

So, high rep calisthenics is useless?

[@SOFPrepCoach]

It’s not useless, but it’s not as important as being fast and strong

[@Tovashi]

@SOFPrepCoach Ohh, okay. 1. Strength 2. Speed 3. Muscle endurance?

Endurance is #1@@Tovashi
