Soon to join ARMY, any advice appreciated

[NewRecruit]

What's up everybody? I am 22, 6' 1" and from Florida, and will be hopefully shipping out for the ARMY in January sometime. I have led a somewhat sedentary lifestyle since I dislocated my hip about 2 years ago, and workin out now is kickin' my a**...

I have some Clen & Ketotifen coming, then after I drop some of the fat I was thinking about Tren 75 to help me strengthen up right before I leave(still have ALOT of research to do though...). Right now I am running about 2-3 times a week, and lifting twice a week. I still tears me up for a few days after though. I've gotta get my diet in check which, right now sucks. I mostly eat once a day, sometimes twice - if it's twice then one meal is at night before bed(I know, crap...)

I was 230 lbs in highschool, but was extremely out of shape. I dropped down to about 165 from diet and excersize ONLY, then I hurt my hip and have been working a desk job for a while - am just now trying to get back in shape. I am up to 185 lbs now but feel almost anemic compared to what I used to before I got hurt. I am virtually unimpared by my hip injury, but it has just been so long since I've done anything, I feel really weak.

I am doing everything in my power to get prepared for basic in January; I don't need to gain massive muscle, but I do need to tighten up alot - upper body strength is just not there anymore...

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hey - there seems to be alot of info on this site and I look forward to doing some research to hopefully get me in shape by the time I leave. I know this will be a challenge to do in 3 months, but I have to try - no WAY am I going to basic in this shape...

Look forward to talkin with ya'll.

Well, that sucks. I thought Clen wasn't technically an AAS? No biggy though; where I bought it from they said to please not dispute the charges w/ your credit card if anything went wrong, so that tells me if I complain to them they will refund my $$$...

Thanks for the info though, I'm in the process of checking out the links.

As for the ARMY, I am thinking about some of the Signal Corps. jobs - mostly 25 series. I got the ASVAB scores for it, and they offer awsome bonuses. If I can't get into one of those, I am gonna prolly go special forces.

-Matt

[WARMachine]

You bought from buysteroids.com right? True, Clen is not an AAS. But their Clen is not actual Clen. Its some supplement. Clen doesnt come in pill form.

If you really want clen, check out our sponser, AR-R.com Everything they sell is legit. They do not sell AAS though. But they have Clen, Nolva, Clomid etc...

Signal corps? Dude come on?

What has your ASVAB score? Were the line scores all above 100?

btw, in order to go special forces, you need to go infantry first. Then airborne, and then enroll for speical forces, and IF you make it, then youre in.

Try for Ranger school too bro, its the easiest way into SF.

No - worse. I read about Clen on Clenbuterolweightloss.com, and bought from one of the places on there. I'm checking out AR.R, I don't really wanna do the inj's yet, so I'd prefer to go w/ the liquid. I emailed the guy today though - he is refunding my $$$...

And as far as the signal corps goes - there were 2 jobs on there that had a $40k enlistment bonus - which would REALLY help me out right now. My lowest line score was 127 in the "Clerical" field, so I'm definately good to go for whatever job I want. My only problem might be getting security clearance.

I know about the SF path, but the good thing about going SF right out of the gate is that you get Airborne in your contract. I haven't made up my mind yet though. I really just wanted to do basic infantry first, but my girl and I are getting married and I've got some stuff to take care of before I can get deployed for 15months(not saying I don't want to though).

Come on dude, youre way to smart for that!

Yeah dude - but the extra monthly $$$ from the separation pay will help out alot.

By 90's, you mean overall, right? My overall was a 91, most of my line scores were up arounf 135-145's...

I am really pissed about this Clen situation; at least I got my money back, but still - it't a PITA to deal with. All the info about Clen on here also seems to be contained in posts from 04-05' - has there been anything new since then?

By the way, what do you think about the Tren 75? This shit is all really confusing, especially when I am already stressin' out about getting in shape for the ARMY, and in such short time. I just need a little help but I know I can do it...

[WARMachine]

Dude like i said... The Tren 75 and all the other crap they sell at buysteroids.com are not actual steroids.

They wont do you much good.

Ok man - I thought you said just the Clen from there was bunk - not everything. My bad. But you do know that the link you gave me, in the 3rd paragraph, says the Clen comes in 20mcg tablets, sometimes 40mcg(what I have)? Also, if it is a "prescribed bronchillator"(2nd paragraph), why wouldn't it come in tablet form? Not arguing w/ you bro, just reading the text you provided and trying to make sense of it all.

Looks like the Tren is a little more hardcore than I want to go, especially for my first run. Gonna look for something a little more my speed.

Thanks again for the help bro - I appreciate it!

P.S. - can you say PRENUMP????? I'll be damned if I'm gonna bust my ass in BCT for 9 weeks and then give half of it away to the ex!

That is actual Clen. This is what im talking about.

Just so were clear.

Good to hear about the pre-nup.

If i were to ever marry, pre-nup all the way! Best 3K a guy could ever spend!

Busted your hip and you want to go SF? If you told the recruiter about your hip you may be disqualified for SF. Dislocated hip 2 years ago, out of shape with a shit diet. Dude your ass is gonna get whipped in your basic. Especially if you go infantry, basic and your AIT is gonna bring the worse out in your body....meaning any underlying problems will be amplified and you'll be a broke dick ****er.

I've seen this at SOI Camp Pendleton too many times man. Condition your body the best you can now. Army basic isn't too hard anyhow (went through Marines, have friends in army) in camparison. Just be aware if you don't condition your body now, well you are gonna wish you had bro.

Best of Luck.

I don't have any problems w/ my hip man - I have been sky diving and everything this it with no troubles. I'vealready been to MEPS and all - I didn't even need a waiver.

I'm trying to condition now, have been since July.

-Matt

[TranscriptionFactor]

Start running and doing high intensity cardio now. Forget about bulking up, get in good cardio shape. Do some kind of circuit like jumping rope for 5 min., 1 set max push ups, pull ups, sit ups, squat thrusts, then repeat for a few sets until you want to pass out.

Whatever you do, don't injure yourself, if you run, increase the distance only 10% each week, run on a good surface with good running shoes. Your aim right now is to get your body conditioned so it won't get injured later on. If your not conditioned for running, you're gonna get shin splints, possibly stress fractures, knee pain, foot problems and maybe lower back pain. And stretch out those hamstrings - guys get low back pain and knee pain because they're hamstrings are too tight.

Good luck!

[NewRecruit]

Thanks man. The running thing is really kicking my ass right now - that's why I wanted to loose some BF - I figured that would help w/ everything I am doing right noow. When I started in July, I was ruunning a 12min mile - now I'm down to 9:20's. I'm already pushing the sit/push ups as hard as I can every day.

It just doesn't look like it is going to get here in time - hence my Clen idea...

9:20's will hurt you.

Keep running. 6 year army sergeant here from the chemical corps. Stay away from tren, tren will kill your cardio and make you winded.

22 years old you'll have to keep your 2 mile run under 15:54 which means each mile under 8 minutes. Running 9 minute miles is about the pace you run in morning PT, but you do that for 5-10 miles depending on your workout day.

If you use anything I would say testosterone to help build some muscle safely. I wouldn't touch anything else and get your body out of wack before heading to basic. Get plenty of sleep and nutrition and keep running.

Marriage? how long have you been together? girls go crazy when you leave them and when you become military. They take your money and become whores. IDK why, but it's very common so be careful with marriage. Plus, if you want to get married for extra money it takes less than an hour at the courthouse. Remember, that 10% pay increase is offset by 50% pay cut due to the wife taking it.

Good to have info from someone inside. Testosterone sounds about right, I think with a little muscle building help I can get where I need to be by January. Still working on my diet/sleep though...

My girl and I have been together going on 4 years - and like I said - prenump - so she's not gettin half of anything

dude, you're naive if you think she won't be taking half of your money while you're away. Remember, marriage is a combined effort, everything that is yours is hers. I'm talking about when you are married, not when/if you divorce. When you leave, your checks are direct deposit into an account that she has access to....she owns your money! haha

I'm not telling you to use testosterone, but i'm saying if you were going to it would be your best option. I would use a light dose just to help out a bit. It's not about muscle in the army. The bigger guys had a harder time than us guys with endurance through basic and training. Cut the weight, get your diet in check, get your sleep schedule down (very important), and start the cardio. Also just do as many situps or pushups you can do throughout the day. You don't lift weights, but they will crush you all day every day with pushups, situps, flutterkicks, or anything else that requires endurance. They don't give a shit if you bench 400, if you can't do pushups when they tell you to (and first hand experience showed me that the big chested guys with huge bench numbers can't do nearly the pushups that us normal sized guys can) then you're done.

[Haus of Hell]

Binder's right man, it's all callisthenics in basic. I wouldn't bother about putting on muscle weight as opposed to to cardiovascular shape and muscle endurance. I lost 10 pounds of solid muscle through boot camp, becuase the high level callisthenics and strict 3 meals a day (maybe 4 if you're good at sneaking food, ubt dont get caught!).

Focus on callisthenics in your workouts, not so much on puuting on muscle- condition what you have.

[MuscleScience]

Make sure when your in basic that you sleep on your back, Or someone else will.

I thought my checks could get deposited into any bank account I wanted - not necessarily what she has access to. I was going to have my own bank account that I could get my checks deposited into, then have a monthly transfer setup from that account into the koint account for her - that way she doesn't have access to my $$$. At least this is what I was planning on doing...

Also, it doesn't look like they have TEST at AR-R?

EDIT: I threw up a post in the ???'s section. Thanks again for the info everybody.

ARR sells research chemicals not controlled substances.

umm...i'm not sure what state you live in, but as far as I know it's not too hard for a spouse to have access to your personal stuff. You can have separate bank accounts, but if she knows all your shit, it wouldn't be hard for her to get access to it. Hell, i can get access to my mom's bank account because i know her mother's maiden name, her social security number, date of birth, etc. The fact that she's your spouse and you probably will give her power of attorney (wise thing to do in case something happens to you in the military) then she can get to anything.

[NewRecruit]

Glad you said that - I wasn't planning on telling her about the other bank account. She's really not that bright when it comes to finances, so I'm not really worried about her finding out anything I don't want her to.

The fact that she's your spouse and you probably will give her power of attorney (wise thing to do in case something happens to you in the military) then she can get to anything.

Yeah, she'll have POA over me, but like I said; I'm not that worried about her taking anything. I have a few ways of shifting my money around so that she'll never know how much money I have in the first place - including my enlistmemnt bonus. Yeah, it's dishonest - I know. But we haven't been together that long, and who knows what will happen when I leave for a few months. If something happens and she goes buck wild while I'm gone(even though she is moving in w/ her parents...), then she can have half of what she "thinks" I have and I'll be fine with that. But the extra $$$ a month we'll get for being married will be worth it, even if she gets half.

By the way, I'm in Florida.

Wait, i thought you said you were together 4 years? why would you want to get married to a woman you don't trust and know that well?

divorce ruins your credit, just an FYI if you ever get divorced from her in the future and are still fairly young. Not something i'd like to deal with.

We have been together 4 years this Thanksgiving - and it's not that I don't trust her or that I expect her to do something distasteful - I am just being carefful for now until I see how me being away for a few months pans out - we haven't been through that before. Basically just trying to protect myself...

I did not consider the credit issue though. Then again, it's not like I am expecting a divorce - far from it actually. Again, just trying to protect myself I guess.

oh, i was just basing that on your comment about "but we haven't been together that long". 4 years to me is a little longer than "not that long". You should probably know/trust her after 4 years.

i just got done reading your post bro and i hope you are dedicating more time to cardio, cause as you stand, the whole 9:20 mile is going to make you a POG. Infinatry is no joke for some units and they keep your ass steadaliy ruck marching and running with all your gear, this si from an ex-infantry man in Germany based out of Vilsek, my unit was 2-2 infantry and we stayed int he field and i personally watched many soldiers become paper pushers for the simple reason they could not hack it, and if you are thinking of going SF you really need to get into shape, they are averaging their run times in the mile in less then 6mins bro with a consitant pace.....i ope you make it, it is an elite thing and once in your good to go...keep me posted, right now i am in Iraq and them SF fools are always out here.

i dont think a prenump is going to stop Top and your Commander telling you that she will have access to your account while your gone, and if you think they cant, someone mislead you on the wrong road, she will play with your money and you cant do SHI^ about it.....alot of my buddies thought the same thing, only to find out their wives were ****in@ every thing insight, out everynight with the soldiers that were not deployed and JODY was in her blood, so do what ol boy is telling you and think about this one, females go crazy when your gone for so long and they look for comfort in the next barracks room.

4 years is a decent amount of time, that you are right in, but how long have you been away at one time in them four years.....that you should be asking yourself, i dont mean to sound negitive towards your goals bro in no way shape or form, but i think that i have seen enough situations just like this one end up in a bad place becasue the dude said i trust her and in the end got fuc88.....in fact try this little test and see what she does and how she responds and you will have part of your answer we are trying to explain to you and then from there you can come to your own conclusions.....remember we are just trying to help you make a mistake that has a 95% or higher chance of going seriously wrong.....pick a day that will be the last day you will talk to her, but dont tell her you will not call, you will not write, you will not stop by and see her, and just ignore her for roughly about a week and a half, see how she reacts, and the reaction you get you will be 100 times worse than what will happen when your gone for real, then when you hear her reaction and how she sounds increase that reaction by 100 and you can see for yourself how she is going to take it....but only do this if you really trust your girl cause time being away drives them nuts and they look for comfort in places they thought they never would....

POG....LMAO...a POG my friend is a infantry man that could not cut it in the infantry and instead of getting rid of you, they transfer you to a paper pusher or a support element...you do not want to end up like that so i hope your runnning your ass off bro, a good run time is everything as a grunt or 11Bang Bang whatever one you prefer to be called, you should look at your goal to be 6 min miles for about 2 to 3 miles and you will do fine. that should be your goal

[Odpierdol_sie!]

Forget about bulking up and gaining strength.

Cardio all the time!

You wanna be working on increasing your distance and dropping your time. You say you are at just under 10 per mile now, what is your distance?
To be up there with the creme you wanna be able to run 10 miles in 70 minutes id suggest twice a week.

Get use to walking with heavy loads, timed yomps will be what you want to look for.

Work up to this, but over time you want to be able to walk about 15 mile in about 4-5 hours with 60lbs on your back. You should by the time you reach ur training be able to manage 3 of these walks a week.

Circuits: Id suggest you do them first thing in the morning for 45-60 minutes every day. Simple Plyo drills etc... not too many tho
Id advise get the Royal Marine Commando circuit training program.

On the work rate i have suggested you will probably be taking in about 3000-4000 cals a day spread over about 4- 5 meals so you really dont need to be thinking about bulking or supplements just fluids and plenty of them.
People will say im talking shit etc, but trust me the beter you prepare now the easier your training will be.

What's up everybody? I am 22, 6' 1" and from Florida, and will be hopefully shipping out for the ARMY in January sometime. I have led a somewhat sedentary lifestyle since I dislocated my hip about 2 years ago, and workin out now is kickin' my a**...

I have some Clen & Ketotifen coming, then after I drop some of the fat I was thinking about Tren 75 to help me strengthen up right before I leave(still have ALOT of research to do though...). Right now I am running about 2-3 times a week, and lifting twice a week. I still tears me up for a few days after though. I've gotta get my diet in check which, right now sucks. I mostly eat once a day, sometimes twice - if it's twice then one meal is at night before bed(I know, crap...)

I was 230 lbs in highschool, but was extremely out of shape. I dropped down to about 165 from diet and excersize ONLY, then I hurt my hip and have been working a desk job for a while - am just now trying to get back in shape. I am up to 185 lbs now but feel almost anemic compared to what I used to before I got hurt. I am virtually unimpared by my hip injury, but it has just been so long since I've done anything, I feel really weak.

I am doing everything in my power to get prepared for basic in January; I don't need to gain massive muscle, but I do need to tighten up alot - upper body strength is just not there anymore...

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hey - there seems to be alot of info on this site and I look forward to doing some research to hopefully get me in shape by the time I leave. I know this will be a challenge to do in 3 months, but I have to try - no WAY am I going to basic in this shape...

Look forward to talkin with ya'll.

endurance training is a must..

that means if you are doing weight training, do 20 reps per set 4 sets per muscle, but like everyone says already..

don't tell anyone your medical history..

Yeah - I mostly just lift for fun right now - but the cardio is what I am serious about because that's what I know is gonna help me out the most once I get in.

Right now, I'm still trying to get 2 miles under 20min, so I still have some work to do. That paper-pusher job sounds like absolutley NO fun at all...

As far as medical history goes - I have already been cleared as far as my hip; no waiver needed or anything. I didn't want to lie about something like that, as it was a fairly big injury and if something ever happened to it later on, I wanted to be able to discuss what went on.

Man, any advice you could give or info you have would be much appreciated. It seems like some days I can't wait to leave, and others I'm nervous as hell wondering how it will turn out and if I'll be able to hack it. I'm gonna try my ass off no matter what though...
