Welcome. Enjoy our degenerate workout conversations and ethereal conversations about conflict and the contrast between combat and "regular life".

As jocko called the "AW's", What were you guys carrying for machine guns? In the us military, the biggest guy in the unit is always teased that he will be the guy carrying the Automatic Weapons, and the 1000's of rounds of ammo.

You are missing that you made a Jiu Jitsu post about critters. Passing the guard is trying to break the tie. This is cold war. "capture myopathy" is a submission. You Tap or go to sleep. When Echo got Submitted by Go-Go (which is apparently a choke submission with your leg and arm) that was capture myopathy. When Jocko gets you in his guard and you can do a ton of stuff but you expend a lot of energy and neither of you have made any advances. "We tend to deny our fate and rage against the dying of the light." - Who says this. It seems like a lyric from Disconnect by Rollins Band.
"It's the instinctual desire to escape from a situation that ends with the instinctual desire to submit." Is the instinct to submit? or is the instinct the desire to escape submission? Humans, well Americans, have an underdog mentality to never say die. I understand the animals are more instinctual and accepting of their fate. I would agree with this, but I wouldn't call it "passing the guard."
Deep thoughts. Raising your own food means something alive has a purpose other than not dying. This over complicates the relationship for "people". Lacking a relationship with life, we (or People) arbitrarily assign value to things using our feelings. Being attached to ourselves we don't have an understanding of where food comes from, where we finish life, and we fill in the voids with feelings. By detaching from ourselves we can can see what is around us, and their own "worlds". Understand the chicken: want to eat, lay eggs, stay away from the dogs, until it is fried chicken night. but we also must understand the "world" of the cashier: I need this job, till I have a better one, My boss cares about this, I am concerned with something at home.
This a lot of stuff buried in this that might belong on a different thread.

For me, the balance is more between the personal cost/value. Obviously, there is a difference between what you make for an hour of over time and what you pay a laborer/contractor. The first thing is do you want to do it. I would gladly pay a neighbor hood kid to mow the lawn, or a laborer to paint my foundation. If it is working on the car, I have all the tools, I have the knowledge, and it feels good to knock it out even if it takes an evening. The other thing is no contractor will run pipe, like I want it done. So, I installed my heating system. I paid a guy to do the gas line, and punch two 6 inch holes in the wall for my fancy boiler. So for me it looks like this. I wouldn't do my own roof, because I don't want to do it. I don't want the tools for stripping and installing a roof. I don't think I am going to do it better than the guy who does it everyday. The best answer is to have a buddy from church, the gym, the elks club, that could do it and pay them. Do your own cable, IT, installation because there are no codes, you know where you want everything, and the guy who does it for the cable/phone co make a mess of the walls.

I know job hunting feels more productive at the keyboard, but it is usually more fruitful with your feet. "Mine" your peer group. Ask around at church, club, gym, etc. The best place I knew to work in Minnesota was the Paper plant in Grand Rapids.

Sounds like some malarkey a snake handler say at a tent revival. Guard is a defensive hold. Face to face, on your back, with your legs around the other players waist. In jiu-jitsu it is a great way to control space and reduce means of attack. In MMA, it is a good way to get punched in the face.

Hey everybody. How about we do the unthinkable? There is a group called Go Ruck. They plan Rucking events that are organized and run by special forces members for a fitness, team building, event. There are a few in what passes for upstate New York. They are both in June of this year. West Point (Army military Academy) 6/17-18 and Albany 6/24-25. I have made an invite or 2 to individuals that I have found to be local. I think we could probably get a 4 some to be a part of this. For added motivation, I will pay for the first 3 to join me, read as reimburse. I am personally, probably not fit enough to do the 12 hour one today. I am intrigued by the 9PM to 9AM part. Let me know who would be interested/available for on of these. More event info at the link below. Go ruck
This would definitely qualify as getting after it. Let me know any obstacles that are preventing you from being a part of this. Norris feel free to say Plane tickets. That I am not fixing. Needing a ride or some gear is more reasonable. Some physical activity, external stress, and maybe a make us all better in the process. All of you not in the North East, grow your own initiative.

kcat428. Okay. I have been pumping this into my head. I think I am going to try this on a few people. I have a few friends that are not exercise people that could probably do the breathing. I have done some cold quenching but I think I will start it up again with some of these techniques.

I am pretty sure that KCat is the biggest badass on the forum.

Good to have some family time. I have a web site and I hate using junk stock photos. Most of my picks are just around my house. I am a mechanical engineer who loves fabrication. Obviously, you have an eye for mechanical drawing and fabrication. I like your shots of things like insulators and rusted tanks.

My old Sprint routine is known as MSU and was based upon a football field. I did the math a while ago and it Gets you to sprint a mile and a quarter. Starting at 100 yards: 20 seconds to run, 20 seconds to rest. Do that 10 times. Then 80 yards, 16 seconds run, 16 seconds rest. Do that 8 times. Runs Yards Total Run (s) Rest(s) Total Time 10 100 1000 20 20 400 8 80 640 16 16 256 6 60 360 12 12 144 4 40 160 8 8 64 2 20 40 4 4 16 Total Yards 2200 Total seconds 880 (14 min 40 sec) You will be able to stay pretty close at the end. The later you fall behind, and sooner you catch up the better. If you are interested, I will make an MP3 of times, run rest and yards.
