Full kit workout???

[Ex313]

They should include in the next Medal of Honor game a virtual realty where you have to where all your crap and actually run to run and jump to jump Etc instead of just picking up a med kit you have to actually eat and mre. Well turn every video game Fatso into a bad a within a year. Orrrrr they all say screw that and go back to playing with there thumbs. Haha.
Hey Detroit guy I have a question. So I'm assuming you don't own a drap load of heavy kit. Because you must have looked suspicious driving home with night vision googles from work on 911. My point being this is a question of extreme fitness not and excuses about how we will avoid using fitness to get away or home. We already no all the armchair commandos have a million scenarios where they avoid taking ten steps in any direction. This is about the opposite where you are planning on running around your neighborhood etc fighting with all our crap on.

On 9-11 the attack started before 9am. All of the offices started issuing Go Home orders around 11:30-12:00. So I wasn't driving home in the dark.
On the blackout day in 2003, I had plenty of daylight to get home.

No I don't own any heavy kit. I didn't own any then either. I don't plan to in the future.
I would have really looked suspicious running through Detroit wearing a plate carrier.

Nowadays, I'm over 50, dealing with the physical affects of living a life that included car accidents, exposure to after burners and rock and roll. I live in Starbucks Country so the fighting here will be minimal until the free lance socialists living down the road get hungry or cocky.

I have done some competitions where the kit was an option. I carried a satchel full of magazines for the rifle and had a pistol belt for my hand gun. It was a real "Run and Gun" thing we were doing. It worked as well as any guy wearing a "chest rig". I couldn't afford better equipment.

Here's a couple of examples of the competitions. You can be in good shape, but if you aren't training like this guys ...

alright im setting a goal for myself. I'm going to start training with full kit on the treadmill and home gym and back years until I can run 6 miles full kit on and do 50 push ups and 5 pull ups all within 1 hour. I figure if I can do that I'll be in as good of shape as I can be at my age without getting crazy. Soon I'll post my with and without full kit weight on for your enjoyment. Anybody wants to joint me and keep us posted on there progress?

Nice video for concealed carry quick draw. I guess. I've seen dudes way faster than this guy In competition. But besides that. What the heck does that have to do with being in good physical condition or training to be? My point once again is 100 of thousands of dollars are spent each year on kit. Heavy kit. And I just want to know who thinks there fit enough to actually where it and fight hard? Simple!!!

Nothing more bad a than a dude with a beard and a 1911. Taking about 3 seconds to get sight picture. The first thing that he should do is come into the 20 century and use a high capacity pistol that doesn't way 10 pounds. Though I think 1911 is a work of art and way ahead of its time. It still is lacking as far as a modern firearm. Bud if the bad guys are giving you points for looking bad to the bone the 1911 wins. Until your 9 rounds are all gone. Lol!!

I'm loving this video!! I can't get enough of this guy. It's almost like the old " hey what's that over there " trick and when the bad guy is looking you pull out your weapons all slow and cool and looks at him through the smoking sights and tell him make my day.
By the way the Dracula but only works while wearing a really flimsy long jacket or a cape. Haha.
And it only works in transalvania and at night. Haha!!!
A quote from classic cinema. Dumb and dumber. " just when I think you can't do anything any dumber you go and completely redeem yourself".

I run a class call the STRESS Course. All stages of fire are designed to be physically and mentally stressful. Every stage has no shoot/hostage targets, you're penalized for misses/no shoots/dropped gear/etc., and a lot of cardio, with one drill also having a large amount of upper body endurance in it.

Here's just a few of the things I notice from running this course: http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/observations-from-recent-stress-course.1129700/

I have used armor as a weighted vest during workouts before and I can tell you that I would rather not give up that much mobility in a fight and I sure wouldn’t want to have to live in that stuff in a patrol situation either.

joc in SC gti in Perry and the last one is a GTI in sep. i wont be able to make it. 3rd coast is run by
Sal a army Major, he does tier one missions at all his ops that are straight out intense,not necessarily shoot em up. but they run evac, medical, and infiltration against real operators. they are exciting, informational, and intense.
this is a clip from a op in Chicago this summer. its a lot of fun, you get a good adrenaline rush trying to reload while under fire from 2 or 3 positions. at the end of the day its a game, but the bigger professional ops run by these guys are a close a John Q Public can get. if you go in with a training mindset and not pray and spray video game, you can have fun, learn your kit, get a workout, hang out, and see some cool places they would lock you up for being in any other time...

I was OPFOR at GTI many times and was instructed to go easier on the other players. They couldn’t even make it down the hallway to the stairwell to get to the control room. We made a BIG mess of them and they whined and complained that it was too hard. Once we let up and let them get to the control room door it became a bloodbath for them. Fun night for sure.
