Best type of fitness for army personnel

[rupol2000]

Also the advantage of crossfit is that it usually does not require complex training equipment, basically everything can be done in the field, using improvised means and terrain

I love reading the threads you post. They are the best laughs I have gotten in quite a while. My daughter is an officer in the Army. I helped train special operators in urban combat for years as part of an opposition force. I recall only one time I was involved in hand-to-hand combat, and the soldier was so shocked, I "killed' him.

If you are in close contact with the opposition, no amount of physical fitness will stop an AK-74 round!

Tolerant pacifist? Do words always roll out of your brain making no sense?

How would you know? How long did you serve in the military?

If you wrestle 2 minutes, rest 1, then wrestle 2 minutes, rest 1 then wrestle another 2, you will be so tired. ....

YOU sure as hell would be, Captain One Semester.

just shut up, I'm not interested in what feminists think about the army

You are a Russian or eastern European know nothing who spouts from old books that are inaccurate as hell and based on ridiculous fantasies.

I think that CrossFit is suitable for general military training for any specialist, as a training for basic skills, you don't even need to change anything, just take it as it is.

Funny, many in the Army thought the same thing about 2 decades ago. When I joined the Army in 2007, that was all the rage among many involved in physical training.

And about a decade ago it was finally put to rest, and largely abandoned. Because it also resulted in a huge number of injuries. Many so severe that the ones that suffered them were permanently disabled.

Multiple studies showed an increase of injuries with Crossfit of around 5%. That may not sound like much, but that is an additional 25,000 injuries a year. Quite a few units outright banned it for use in their training programs because of this.

I think this is due to general decay in the army and not to injuries. There are more and more queers, office rats, Iq officers have dropped significantly, by at least 5%

Crossfit does not lead to increased injury, it is a myth. CrossFit develops the ability not to get injured in non-standard conditions, thanks to the fact that it trains the culture of movement and complex coordination. An untrained person slips and breaks his head, the athlete falls softly. It is better to dislocate a leg on the sportground than to leave life in battle.

2007

There, the Obama administration must have had a hand in this decay.

Among other things, the philosophy of war is also involved. In the old days, the generals themselves participated in the battles, and there was no trust in the commander who himself could not fight physically. You cannot control your own body, so you cannot control the army either.

Uh-huh.

Russian or eastern European

Your approach just leads to the Army of the Mediocrity, which is accepted in the European tradition.

Uh-huh.

"Americans have well-founded respect for their military officers -- as the backlash against Donald Trump's outlandish statements about John McCain's military service has underscored. So it is upsetting to learn that the U.S. Marine Corps may be suffering some decline in the quality of its officers.

In general, Americans get smarter over time, measured by the rise from one generation to the next in average performance on intelligence tests. This steady trend is called the Flynn effect, after the academic James Flynn whose research has illuminated it. Unfortunately, new research shows a reverse Flynn effect for the officers of the Marine Corps: The average new officer today performs substantially worse on an IQ test than the average new officer did 35 years ago."

For the Marines, a Troubling Decline

Officers today score lower on IQ tests, and it's not clear why.

In addition, the cause of injury may be that people are engaged in a haphazard and fanatical manner, overwork and do not recover. For such training to be effective, you need to approach them with fresh strength and mind, otherwise it will lead to the opposite effect. Difficult exercises cannot be practiced in the same manner that old women practice jogging.
Perhaps for some it will be more effective to practice 2 times a month for one hour, and it will work. It's OK for CrossFit

eastern European

If we talk about historical Eastern Europe, Austro-Hungarian model, and not what now, then there were just the traditions of the professional army. The United States inherits precisely from Austro-Hungary and the eastern armies. There was the elite cavalry as the main striking force. It was just Western Europe that was an army of rabble and slaves. Napoleon gathered all the rabble of Europe.

A warrior must have a military spirit that uplifts him, prepares him for difficulties. This spirit determines his victory. It becomes resistant and does not break. This spirit is nurtured by CrossFit. The athlete sets difficult tasks for himself and fulfills them.

 

[rupol2000]

Yes, CrossFit is dangerous and risky, but this is exactly the warrior's path: going through danger and risk, this is the military romance.

The paths of the warrior and the slave are different. The slave works to eat, the warrior works to win. This requires different skills and different approaches.
