Hello,
I am an infantryman pondering using a mild steroid like Anavar in theater. Hydration will not always be a problem. Frequent sleep depravation, and a diet that will mostly consist of MRE's that have lots of sugars and not a very steady stream of protein. the average protein content of the MRE is 25 to 40g of protein for the main meal the rest is really insignificant.
My goal ultimately is to maintain at least a normal garisson style level of fitness. I found that the grinding style of workout versus nutrition in the feild decreases your level of muscular and cardio fitness.
Coming back from a tour is a towering challenge to get back into shape. Any feedback from a USMC or Army pers with experience would be appreciated.
my stats are 32yrs old 5ft6 160lbs garrison fit gone through numerous specialist courses withing the canadian infantry corps. (mountain ops) Mountain man, land recon, marine recon etc...
when I came back from my last tour off the plane I was 140lbs in bad shape. Cardio was down and strenght was down not as bad as the cardio though but still... everyone says I am getting too old for this profession.
