this shit is growing. I remember 100 classes ago when there wasn't enough people to fill 2 classes so we combined them. shit.

and these assholes really want to make the under promise over deliver part shit really stand out haha.
 
can you explain what this is? i skipped through and saw speeches, timlapses, people carrying people and people putting their faces in other's asses, not sure how all these things come together
 
its basically a 13 hour long overnight event, sort of like Tough Mudder on steroids, way less people, and through big ass cities. its sort of military inspired, but not meant for military only people.

consisting of:



-everyone carries a backpack full of bricks

-you get yelled at, a lot

-you do pushups, a lot

-you crawl, a lot

-you get hypothermia from frozen water

-you carry your friends

-you have to stop using the straps to your backpack, and just carry it

-lunges

-20 or so miles

-embrace the suck.

actually, now that I think about it. it was 13 hours, a year ago. now they are pushing 15 or 16.

Goruck trek was 36 hours.

fucking selection is going to be around 72. on christmas. FML.
 
OR one could just work out often and drink chocolate milk and get fitter without all the pain.
 
i am doing this in august but im worried cause i have an awful shoulder and hurt it lifting a month or two ago. at this point it will never be normal again, trying to figure out if i should bail, input?
 
you don't do it for the exercise or for any money, you do it for the experience.

that being said, it does not fit anywhere into my interests, but i can understand how people like Reese who actually enjoy it would love such a thing. it's pretty fucking badass too, i consider myself to be in good shape and i doubt i could do it. it's more of a lesson on endurance and perseverance than a workout i think.
 
WHy the fuck would you wanna do something that you're like FML about. I understand the feeling of accomplishment you must get after completing it and the physical benefits your body will receive but like it sounds like the absolute least enjoyable thing that you could possibly do. But hey to each their own.
 
I'm trying to tone down my sarcasm and hate threads, but this is just so damned contrived and pointless. I'm all for getting people together and doing physical activities that challenge oneself and one's group, but...seriously? Crawl around on top of other men on the filthy streets of NYC? This isn't even a healthy workout. Are professionals consulted at all in the structuring of one of these, or does someone just randomly say "Do this, it will suck but be fun!"? There are many better options out there.
 
okay, I only said FML to the last one.

I just got a message telling me "Hey btw, we signed you up for selection this christmas!!!!"

THAT does not sound fun.

straight from the website:

"Bullhorns are unnecessary and GORUCK Cadre will never encourage quitting, but Selection is based on Special Operations schools that have a 10% pass rate. "
