in regards to working out right in training for you know selection and by selection you mean I mean Special Forces or Ranger or SEAL selection yeah that’s what they’re talking about here yeah so chuckle what do you think of rucking as fitness versus just train up so for people that don’t know what rocking is rocking is putting a backpack on a rucksack with a bunch of weight in it and walking long distances and and to be honest with you you really aren’t jogging you know you’re really going at a pretty good pace when you’re doing it and that’s it as far as rucking that’s what it is because because in the military mm-hmm they can bring the pain with rock back marches forced Road marches is what they’re called yeah you’d be rocking all up in you you’ll be rocking so you don’t want to be rocking and and so you know you’ll do 20-mile forest road march which is just you’re on the road with a 50 pound pack just marching yeah and so the thing is like anything else if you want to get good at it you got to do it right so if you want to get good at people ask me like how do you don’t get we’re gonna get it going to pull ups you know how do you get good at pull-ups and do pull-ups how do you get good at running run how do you get it swimming so I’m mmm oh you want to know how to get good at jiu-jitsu dude you Jitsu you know get on the mat and do jiu-jitsu a bunch you know and if you want to get good at rockin at a hump in a rock carrying weight over long distances Rock because there’s all kinds of little things got to get used to your feet got to get prepared you’re gonna get weird muscles your back’s gotta get stronger you get you know calluses all over your feet it takes a special type of fitness regimen to get used to and ready for long rock marches and the special fitness regimen is rocking and lots of it so if you want to eventually you can augment that you know you can start doing squats you can start doing sprints and that’ll help you you know that’s fine but the foundation of the preparation for rock humping should be rock humping and that’s what’s gonna make you good at it so did you do that I did I did and rucking for me actually oddly enough is something that I was almost good at no and it’s weird because I wasn’t the fastest sprinter and I wasn’t the best long-distance runner which boy does that make makes you a loser right you can’t win a sprint and you can’t run a long-distance run what’s wrong with you yeah you’re kind of in the middle that I was in the middle and what I realized was that was good for carried a rucksack yeah and I got used to it too because I was a radio man so you always had always had a carrier frickin radio you know thirty pound radio with water and batteries and you’re just it’s always heavy you’re just sucking it up and so I got used to it I suppose it was Matt more than anything else you’re like um you’ve seen the movie tremors no they gave me Trevor’s right well there’s a time at the end they’re like man we need to we need to go to those mountains for those you know to avoid the underground worms and they were like hey we could take the cat and he’s like hey it’s it’s low you know the cat is a big you know the Bobcat I’d actually know what a Bobcat is I’m not sure I know what underground world that’s something completely different but their bet so they took the Caddy and the guy the guy was like no we can’t take the cat slower than hell and he’s like it doesn’t mean it can carry a tunnel you know it was he was like you you’re like the cat so they hooked up this big trailer which is the rock in your chest and you know and they didn’t they drove everybody um you know to the mountain well the day planner do you walk no they’re trapped on on roofs on a rooftop and they’re like we’re all gonna starve up here we got to make it to the mountains it’s like nine miles okay like how are we gonna get there we can’t you know we can’t run they’re gonna get us we can’t you know so we’ll get the cat God they were like oh it’s too slow but they’re Lincoln yeah but it can carry this big trailer yeah you know and I used to say that in the SEAL Teams and I my opinion was it was better to be built like a four by four then like a Porsche yeah when it was better to be it just because you got to carry weight around durable you know what would you rather have working on a farm ford f350 or a Porsche yeah I mean a Porsche is cool for the track when everything’s all lined up and dialed the way it’s supposed to be you get any kind of terrain going on you want that floor before and he want it bad and so that’s why you know the seals the seals guys that were kind of more a 4×4 mm than a Porsche yes it would be a better in the field in the real seal situations yeah you know the read the actual because the thing about that’s that’s it’s a misconception about the SEAL Teams is you know you see guys running on the beach and you see you guys swimming in the ocean and they never are carrying anything yeah that’s just complete lie because every time you do anything in the SEAL Teams you’re caring at all the weight with you yeah and so you got to be built like a 4×4 and not like a Porsche yeah yeah make sense so yeah you’d weigh rather someone like you then some sprinter who can run like a 4 to 40 but then he puts them you know something sprinters actually you know what you you just want somebody that’s durable yeah durable is the word yeah and if they’re great athlete and they can have a awesome 40 time or they can run a marathon but they’re just durable it’s awesome yeah ok I’m not trying to put parameters around the guys sure because there’s guys there was a guy when I was a team too and he was a guy I actually went through buds with and he was he’s he’s kind of a short guy and he was kind of had a odd the body shape and so he kind of looked he kind of had almost like a little pudgy belly and he just was one of those guys and the funny thing is he could run faster than me and he could bench more than me he had no kidding it was awesome I love that yeah he’s an awesome guy awesome guy I said you know that’s cool people say that about him because he’s but short and a little bit pouty looking I’m like he can he can actually bench more than me and he can run fast beating all the runs so let’s just be quiet yeah
