u'd think the army would gear towards strength training over bulking up quickly. well, I would assume at least."
When i was in Infantry training at fort benning thats all they basically do but i became hella strong over the course of 6 months i could lift twice my body weight i was 180lbs. then. Our Physical Training test was all about how many push ups and sit ups you could do in 2 minutes. So a total of 4 minutes was spent seeing if you could do better then your last test. Then you ran for 2 miles. Best time running was 14:52 for a 2 mile run i did 100+ push ups in 2 minutes and 100 sit ups. I wasn't even considered an all star doing that many we had people who could do way more.
But they never made us use weights if we didnt want to use them, i personally just used my body weight and never grabbed a dumb bell or anything like that, we had this one guy that would put an extra 50lbs. in his ruck sack on road marches =\. He was a insane person.
