  • This is it, the start of a new beginning! I put together the PERFECT garage gym that is not overly expensive, doesn't take a lot of time to set-up, doesn't take up much space, and provides everything you would need to prepare for anything you would be training for in the Army. I'm stoked to have this at home now.

    Really great garage gym. I got a Gritty Soldier t-shirt. You are right, it's a great shirt, excellent fit and feel. I've washed it twice...no shrinkage. I really like having "Exceed the Standard" right where I can see it. That was a constant reminder that helped me through my workout today. Thanks for all you do.

    It's such a good rack. I have the 1000 version. Definitely recommend the plate and bar storage! Makes loading unloading bars so much more efficient. Also vinyl tubing on the safeties save the nurling on the bars.

    Hey I recently learned that green berets (it seems mostly 18Es that do it) can become JTAC qualified, do you have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

    • @GrittySoldier
      @GrittySoldier  2 роки тому +2

      I don’t but I’m sure their is a way to transfer, I think it’s called green to blue, but you’ll still have to go through the training process and all that, so just consider the risk.

      A good combination of all of it is the best way to go. You want to train power, strength, speed, and endurance.

    Get the audiobook Simple and Sinister if you want a deep dive on kettlebells. It’s under 5 dollars on Amazon and is only 3 hours long. Judging by your fitness level you should be able to do 10x10 with a bell that’s close to half your body weight with ease.

    About 2 weeks ago I was approached by my new CO and asked if I wanted to go to ranger school in January... like 2 weeks from now. I of course said yes and have been scrounging to get everything off my packing list together. I was just about to get a rangerpack and I saw that you had uploaded this video, I watched it when it was newly posted "1 hour ago" and thought to myself. Nah I shouldn't comment, probably won't win. But my wife is pushing me to, thankfully I have her. Hoping to knock out ranger school then middle of next year go to SFRE then on to SFAS. Best wishes, thanks for all the tips.
