A Note About Strength Training
2024.06.01 12:49 TFVooDoo A Note About Strength Training
Given the recent discussion of Shut Up And Ruck’s strength programming, I thought it might be appropriate to address a few lingering comments.
First, we’re not immune to criticism. It is perfectly reasonable to criticize whenever and whoever you want, even me. Clearly, the anonymity of the internet provides ample license to do so. I’m not infallible and I make at least one mistake every fiscal year. I get downvoted all the time and I recognize that many things that I say are taken as gospel based on my years of providing accurate information. I don’t take this leniency lightly. I’ve earned this gift and I don’t look gift horses in the mouth. I certainly don’t shy away from criticizing others, but I always seek to do so from a position of best intentions of the outcome. But if you think that it’s appropriate to draw conclusions like “He definitely doesn’t know what he’s talking about”, “It violates basic principles”, or my favorite “It looks like he stole this from X, Y, or Z” and you’re basing that on one tiny screenshot of one sample day of one singular domain absent of context of the entirety of the programming then you must be special. I wish I had that sort of clairvoyance.
Second, our programming is not a mistake. Is it aggressive? Absolutely. Is it wrong? Absolutely not. It is deliberate and intentional. A few points to consider:
-The higher percentages and rep ranges occur at the end of each cycle. You don’t start off at the high end, you finish there. The passage cited is 9 weeks post 1RM testing. At a minimum the higher % come 5 weeks after testing. You get stronger and the programming reflects that.
-Just because you’ve never done anything like this doesn’t mean much. We follow the evidence, and the literature clearly indicates that our recommendations are appropriate. Aggressive, but appropriate. Here are 6 sources, including some meta-analyses that bring the body of knowledge to several hundred; there are many more.

Your experience not withstanding, our programming is entirely valid. This is especially true given the other variables. 1) we prioritize intensity and we manifest that through heavy weights 2) you only lift each exercise 2 times in every 5 day cycle - plenty of time for macro recovery 3) you are resting up to 4 minutes between sets - plenty of time for micro recovery 4) you are only doing 3 lifts in a day and only one for that domain - you aren’t doing 3 sets of barbell bench, then 3 sets of incline, then 3 sets of decline, then some cable cross-overs, then some dumbbell flys, then finishing with some drop sets on the Smith machine. 1 exercise, at maximal intensity. No need to pace yourself. 5) we are seeking to balance strength and endurance. It’s impossible to fully address both simultaneously. There will inevitably be friction. 6) we are seeking to challenge you, not accommodate you. 7) we emphasize self-reflection, data analysis, and agency. If you are struggling to meet the listed criteria then we encourage you to program accordingly. It’s foundational to our approach.
But allow me to let you in on a little secret. Even though we cite no small amount of literature, you can find lots of literature that argues against our programming. In fact, there is so much ‘literature’ out there that you can find supporting information for damn near everything and anything. So, back to my first point, you are welcome to criticize. But you should at least provide some counter-evidence beyond “in my experience”. In the Taxonomy of Information, anecdotal testimony is the least rigorous. We have presented our arguments, you are invited to present yours. Or be a little more graceful in your criticism.
We are well aware of Prilepin’s optimal reps (for powerlifting), and the NASM 5 Phase Optimum Performance Training Model (which we follow) and the NSCA Performance Pyramid (which we follow). We don’t disagree that they are to be well considered. We did a full and complete survey of the information environment. But we stated in our introduction and made available for free our philosophy…we have no interest in preserving the credentialed protectorate of the fitness industry. SFAS is different, so shall the programming be.
Third, we didn’t “steal” another program and stack it on top of our own stuff. That’s not how this works. If you survey all of the programs and methodology out there, you will find a ton of overlap. If you follow established principles and seek consensus, then you end up looking a lot like the other stuff. Did we look at other programs? Yes, dozens of them. Did we steal them? No. The fact that we favor a more intense program that most programs don’t should make this argument moot. This is a serious accusation and should be reserved for the most egregious circumstances. You might not have experience with this type of programming, you might not be familiar with recent literature, and you are only seeing a very minuscule event absent of any of the other programming and ancillary elements.
Fourth, and finally, I want to address the unhinged discussion of cost. We’re particularly sensitive to this topic because we know that our target population skews younger and likely less affluent, so cost matters. And I don’t like calling guys out necessarily, but u/Certain-Exam-2577 and u/Potential_Presence67 ? You two can go fuck yourselves. You anonymous peices of shit decided from your castles on top of Mount Holy that we are looking for a “money grab”? I could have charged hundreds, I could put all of my content behind a paywall, and I could simply pump and dump and walk away to stack cash. But that’s not the case.
What do you two fucking genius economists think would be appropriate for 8 months of daily programming for strength, conditioning, rucking, mental prep, mobility, skills, recovery and much more? We charge 60 dollars. Let’s take a very small survey the prep environment and see where we stack up:
Evoke - 3 months, requires additional programming prerequisites, $65
Performance First - 3 months, $90
18A Fitness - 4 months, $179
Gritty Soldier - 3 months, $30
Mountain Tactical - 12 months, $329
Blue/Green Training - 11 weeks, $129
We’re looking pretty competitive given these numbers. And these are the better programs. We mostly like them (and others) and we have tremendous respect for their creators and coaches. We don’t think they are as good as ours, especially our ruck programming, but they’re in the ballpark. Many guys in this sub have used them and speak highly of them. There are also near endless shit programs out there. AI generated, generic, point-of-sale trash with slick marketing and zero support.
We are a complete program that covers every single domain, and we have well established our expertise for SFAS. But we don’t rely on reputation, we deliver. We research, analyze, synthesize, and present the most comprehensive program out there. For just 60 bucks. Hell, you’ll spend over half that on a blank journal…we’ve recommended this excellent journal many times. But that’s just a cool journal. Zero programming. So we think we’re not “grabbing” too much.
Our resident pricks go on to say that RUSU wasn’t worth $50. Good thing we only charge $40. And perhaps you’d prefer the 15+ year old, lack-luster competition? They’re in the same price range. They even take a cheap shot at our Muster events as just a ‘wAlK iN tHe wOoDs tHaT yOu cOuLd do for FrEe’ or ‘info you could probably find online’. Our “competition” is $750 and one of the programs isn’t even taught by a military guy, much less a Green Beret. You two retarded laureates haven’t even attended an event, so your opinion is irrelevant.
And I should put a pin in all of this money grab, predatory, grifter talk by reminding them that this is all voluntary. You don’t have to spend a single dime if you don’t want to. Lots of guys don’t do anything extra and they get Selected all the time. But if a guy wants to be compensated for his hard work and another guy wants to allocate the cost of a night out drinking, then maybe your keen criticism could be stymied a bit. I offer plenty of free advice and commentary every day. I note that neither of you provide anything of value.
So, that’s my assessment of the situation. You don’t have to be a part of the conversation, but I thought that I should let you know how I see it. I endlessly tell you about the importance of foot care, so it’s only fair that I weigh in on this important topic. I should note that there was also some very reasoned comments and lots of guys understanding the intent of the programming AND of the program. And the OP reached out via DM and we had a very reasonable and productive discussion. He gets it. And the number of guys commenting is <1% of the number of guys reading the actual full program. I like that guys are passionate about this stuff. If you get 10 Green Berets in a room you’ll get 11 different opinions on damn near every topic. You know what they say about opinions…

2024.06.01 06:46 davedcne Ubiquiti Router with Wireguard VPN. VPN clients unable to access hosts wired to router.
So as the title implies I have a router. UDM SE. Setup with a number of wired hosts. I also have the wireguard VPN setup on the router. Router subnet is 192.168.1.0/24 Vpn subnet is 192.168.5.0/24. Dynamic DNS is setup and vpn clients can connect to the vpn. The problem is that clients on the vpn can't talk to clients on the router. After much googling I've seen lots of people with this problem 3-4 years in the past but no solutions. So I figure I would ask here to see if anyone has had any luck with what I thought was going to be a rather basic setup.
There are no custom traffic rules configured, there is no port forwarding configured. There are no custom traffic routing, or static routes configured.
The router firewall is configured with the default rules:
Accept All Internet In "Allow Established/Related Traffic"
Drop All Internet In "Drop Invalid Traffic"
Drop All Internet In "Drop All Other Traffic"
Accept All Internet Local "Allow Established/Related Traffic"
Drop All Internet Local "Drop Invalid Traffic"
Accept UDP Internet Local "Allow Wireguard"
Drop All Internet Local "Drop All Other Traffic"
Accept All LAN In "Accounting Defined Network 192.168.1.0/24"
Accept All LAN Out "Accounting Defined Network 192.168.1.0/24"
Accept All Internet v6 In "Allow Established/Related Traffic"
Drop All Internet v6 In "Drop Invalid Traffic"
Drop All Internet v6 In "Drop All Other Traffic"
Accept All Internet v6 Local "Allow Established/Related Traffic"
Drop All Internet v6 Local "Drop Invalid Traffic"
Accept IPv6-ICMP Internet v6 Local "Allow Neighbor Solicitation"
Accept IPv6-ICMP Internet v6 Local "Allow Neighbor Advertisements"
Drop All Internet v6 Local "Drop All Other Traffic"
Accept All LAN v6 Out "Allow Packets To Corporate Networks"
I feel like I'm missing something really simple that I just didn't do or didn't remember to make this work and I can't for the life of me think of what it might be. Any help would be vastly appreciated.

Weaknesses:
Standard devil fruit weaknesses of being unable to swim and sea prism stone, as well as soul ripping not working well against strong-willed opponents.

Animal background:
Cerberus is the legendary and powerful three-headed hellhound who is the pet of the Greek God Hades. He guards the entrance of the Underworld in Greek Mythology, preventing souls from escaping as well as illegal entry into the afterlife. Heracles had to defeat and borrow Cerberus for a while to present to King Eurystheus as his final Labor before returning him to Hades. He is also said to have manes made of snakes with a snake's head for a tail in some depictions (Mine just has the snake tail), as well as sharp teeth, jaws and claws that can bite and rend through almost anything, he can also devour souls. Cerberus devil fruit is bigger and superior to Garm's.

2024.06.01 04:52 Upstairs-Pound-7205 The ugly duckling classroom.
I was responding to the post about Type B teachers and decided this was better to be a post all its own. I've been in the same classroom for over 10 years. It's a former woodshop, and it has a story that's important to me. This is a long story, but it would be worth reading if you are the type who likes a redemption arc.
TL:DR: I inherited a crazy hoard, and slowly cleaned it up.
To preface, I'm a type B person. I grew up in the house of a pack rat, and I adopted a lot of the same habits as a result. Once the amount of stuff I have gets to a certain point, I stop noticing the mess and it grows and grows. The only way that I keep organized is minimalism at this point: not only to make it easy to clean but also to lower the number of decisions I have to make on a given day.
When I got hired as a computer teacher, I got the woodshop as my room. You might be thinking, OoOoO, I'd love to have a woodshop! Wood floors, big room, what's not to love? Well no-one wanted that room. Why? Because it had been the place of 3 decades of hoarding and neglect.
Every square inch of the room was covered in graffiti. Every cabinet door was hanging on by a thread. Every lock was either broken or the latches were missing. Garbage was piled 4 feet high taking up 2/3s of the room. By garbage I mean a huge collection of broken objects that were clearly meant to be projects for the future by the well meaning woodshop teacher. Pieces of drawers, old dresser parts, massive rusted metal bookshelves, broken carts, rusted chicken wire. Sawdust filled every gap.
More than half the shelves were broken or bending under the immense weight of ancient textbooks, unfinished projects, random trinkets, sky high packets of paper, and ungraded student work. The old teacher had put up a homespun barricade in front of his hoard, and only using 1/3 of the room to teach. He was clearly only using hand tools because the machines were completely buried. That wood floor? Warping everywhere, with some boards sticking 3 inches out of the ground.
Attached to the room was a storage room, meant for hardware and lumber. There was just enough space to open a door about 2 feet and then climb over about a 5 foot high pile that filled the entire room. More projects that never got done, or jigs that were made for some long forgotten project that were kept just in case.
I opened my classroom computer case and found it choked with a layer of sawdust that felt like it was going to spontaneously combust. Ironically, the fire alarm was in a protective plastic casing, that was also choked full of sawdust. The only visible machine, the drill press, was used as a shelf for lesson packets. The room had two external walls that offered almost no insulation from the outdoors. In the summer it got stupid level hot in there because the closet contains a transformer that pukes heat. In the winter I would open the closet door to try to heat the room up, because the only other source of heat was a hot water blower fan that was located 15 ft up on the ceiling, and its power switch was - you guessed it - 15 feet up on the ceiling.
At one point the room had a drinking fountain that had been removed. There was a huge hole in the wall with pipes sticking out. To solve this, the previous occupant had bolted a long piece of corrugated sign board over it. This too, was of course, covered in drawings of phalluses and messages attesting to who was here and in what year.
So yeah, no-one wanted the room for a reason.
What was worse was it was the dumping ground for everyone else throughout the years. Staff had gotten used to offloading their damaged furniture/crap there. Sometimes I would come back and find a new gum-ridden folding table with a sheared off leg had been tucked behind the barricade.
The clean up
This took years.
Being a new teacher I was initially hesitant to just throw stuff away. What if I threw away something valuable? Something that someone was expecting back one day? I started by just vacuuming up sawdust and throwing out reams upon reams of paper packets. Many of them were stuck together with spilled finish and wood glue.
Eventually I got bolder. I got some super thick gloves and threw out anything that was heavily rusted. The old chicken wire, coffee cans full of nails and random screws. Wood that was loaded with bent rusted nails/screws. Then I threw out the broken porcelian, warped and cracked drawer parts. I coordinated with the custodians to pitch the tables/chairs with missing legs, snapped tops, etc. I managed to cobble together enough lock parts and hinge components to get 1 cabinet working and locking - I had to dig through the school to find a working key.
Over time, I eventually pitched the vast majority of the unfinished projects. I finished a few of them myself and gave them back to their respective owners who were frankly astonished to see them. I found 12 library books that had been checked out during the Dewey Decimal system/card catalog days - and the librarian was amazed that they still were intact. With the permission of the district/school I dispersed the student tools to custodial staff/maintainence who could better use them. I didn't need 20 hand saws for instance.
I repaired the drill press, the belt sander, 3 scroll saws and the band saw. The lathe was sadly beyond saving and apparently the table saw was long gone for some reason - though I am sure it pre-dated safety. Each of those tools went to maintainence.
It took a very long time to get rid of the paints, the finishes and other caustic crap. Massive red tape obviously. Eventually it was all gone though. The lumber got taken by another woodshop teacher, along with any remaining useable hardware.
I kept a small reserve of tools for myself for repairs and fabrication.
I remember when I finally reached the back of the room and took a heavy rusted bookshelf off of the shop counter. The counter was is in pristine condition - unlike the rest of the room. It had been buried long ago before the teacher had let kids get away with non-stop graffitti, carving, cutting and drilling into the hardwood tops.
With the room completely clear of crap, I began fixing/replacing all the broken cabinet hardware. I took out all the non-broken shelves and began scrubbing them down, along with the cabinets themselves and their doors. I repaired my desk, which of course had only one working drawer at first. Two were jammed and another was falling to pieces - held together by an improvised job using wire brads. I properly disassembled, scraped, sanded and glued/clamped the drawer and repaired the tracks on the other two.
I called in several work orders. The carpenters tried their best to salvage the wood floor but it was so warped that they ended up replacing sections with plywood. Not the best looking, but at least it was flat. I had the electrician remove the power cut off, since I didn't want a kid shutting off a room full of computers because he wanted to see what the big red buttons around the room did. The plumber capped the old fountain pipes behind the wall and the mason put a fresh coat wall section over it. The painters came in and did a full scale remediation over the summer of what could very well have been lead paint peeling all over the cieling. The HVAC guys cleaned out a metric f-ton of dust out of the duct work in my room, and now my room recieves proper heat and AC. Bear in mind this happened over a decade of time, not right away.
This year I finally managed to replace the last of the missing cabinet locks and got them all on a universal key. There were so many empty cabinets that I gave the space to the students to store their backpacks and jackets during class.
Every time a new teacher comes in and says "wow I wish this was my room" my across the hall co-worker says "you should have seen it when he got it." It is now a lab with multiple 3D printers, a dedicated repair station for electronics, and plenty of space for students to grab a laptop, pull up a chair and work together on coding, CAD, pretty much anything.
This summer my storage room will finally be cleared of the last of the crap. The school rotated its derelict and outdated computer gear in there for the last 4 years (since my storage was the only nearly empty one at the time). I figured if my storage was going to be the repository for any crap it may as well be computers that my students could take apart and learn from. However, that's all going away.
When I look back at this whole process, and really I only wrote a snippet of it here despite this being a Reddit book - I'm amazed that someone like me could even do this. I struggled cleaning my room as a kid. Now I conquered a mountainous horde and came out the other end with a minimalistic, clean room that is easy to maintain. It's weird how students respect a space that is already clean, and I've had way fewer instances of kids damaging the space or even leaving trash behind.
So this is the message to you type B people out there like me. You don't have to manage every little thing, just whittle it down to something you can handle and make things as simple as possible for yourself. You can do it.

I intend to use this computer for playing videogames pretty much (mainly Helldivers 2, FF14, and CS2, but some AAA as well like Ghost of Tsushima or AC6); I don't do any AutoCAD/heavy video editing stuff. My budget is a maximum of $5,000 USD.

Things to note:
- No Windows OS on it; I intend to install Linux.
- I know there are cheaper OLED monitors out there; I'm just interested in this one for the dual mode because I would like a high refresh rate (I play CS2) but I still would like a pretty monitor for "everything else"/I don't want to get a TN monitor.
- No RGB.

2024.06.01 00:26 cdawg-bear Reclassing at end of my contract (11B to 17C/25B)
I’m approaching the end of my contract as an 11B, I did 4 1/2 years. My ets date is 26OCT2024. I am currently starting my packet for 17C but I’m trying to knock out what I can cert wise. I have a few years of experience learning programming languages in my free time(I am comfortable with Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS). I also have two programming classes that I’ve taken with UMGC. I currently do not have any certs and am trying to knock out the Google IT Support certificate as well as the Comptia A+. I’m doing good with knocking out the Google course as well as studying for the A+ fairly quickly while still retaining the info. My ST score on the ASVAB is 110 while the requirements say 112 so I’ll need a waiver.
I have a few questions:
submitted by cdawg-bear to army [link] [comments]
I have a few questions:
- Do you think my couple of college classes, Comptia A+ and the Google certificate in my packet will be enough to get accepted? (Assuming I’ll do good on the ICTL and all the other requirements of the packet)
- Should I not get my packet accepted, would it be a good idea to just reclass to 25B, attend AIT and put my packet in for 17C once I’m more qualified? Is there a minimum time I have to do after AIT before I can do this?
- Can you explain the process for AIT in regard to my wife coming with me? From my understanding because they are such long AITs it’s treated as a PCS move and my wife would come with me but would I be allowed to stay off post with her and how much time would I have off? Weekends, school hours etc.
- What would you do in my position and are their other MOS’s that you would recommend? I’m interested in cyber because I’ve been dabbling in web development for years but I just don’t enjoy how code heavy it is and the cyber side of tech feels more meaningful to me.
- Should I just reenlist as an 11B to give me time to collect certs and resubmit a packet a few months down the road? What discrepancies come with that? Will I be required to do a year before I can submit my packet again?

2024.05.31 21:49 TheTorturedPoets100 How I got out of a 6 day shithole and am NORMAL finally
I finally feel myself after feeling awful the past 6 days (specifically the last 3 days of it were the worst). I was shaking a ton for days/couldn't go longer than 10 minutes without horrible nausea coming up, couldn't eat like anything, couldn't do work or concentrate or physically do much). I was finally able to eat and feel back to normal entirely. I got Chick fil a and devoured it. My stomach is a bit* weird still but the doc said that is from putting my body through a lot the past whole week. He said that your stomach digestive enzymes get messed up during prolonged anxiety, so I went to Whole Foods and bought digestive enzymes to help out. Anyway, here is what I did to help. If it can help me, it can help you too cuz I swear I had it BAD bad. If anxiety attacks had a spectrum, I would be a 8 or 9 out of 10. I rarely get panic attacks but this one randomly came for the first time in years.
Hopefully some of these help.
submitted by TheTorturedPoets100 to Anxiety [link] [comments]
- I connected with an online doc the morning I realized it was bad bad and immediately got a mild prescription for SSRI. I do not have depression at all, only anxiety. It doesn't even kick in for 3 weeks, so I don't think this contributed to me feeling normal tbh. But whatever, I guess it will just be a bonus in my bloodstream. I am considering not even taking it and going back to my normal life.
- I cut off all sad music from my Spotify. I only listen to uplifting stuff or jazz. Any song that triggers me (for exa, my ex boyfriend and I used to listen to John Mayer together) I removed from my playlists. I realized when I was consuming that, I was opening up Pandora's box of crazy emotions + anxiety + sadness. Just cut it off. I also don't listen to any depressing music in general anymore. bye bye. I listen to upbeat stuff like Nicki minaj, EDM, Jazz, Michael Jackson, etc.
- I bought CBD / lavender body lotion and body balm.
- I took Magnesium glycinate, vitamin b12, iron, and d3 daily. I think that genuinely helped more than the prescription I got 3 days ago. I researched this and learned Magnesium glycinate was used back in the day for psychosis and psych ward patients. I also drank tons of electrolyte packets.
- I had my guy best friend come over and sleep with me (not sexually). I asked him to massage my back and it literally helped so much. Knowing someone out there in the world loves you and feeling their physical touch helps a ton.
- I did 100 jumping jacks or worked out until my body couldn't feel the anxiety anymore
- I cleaned my apartment and distracted my mind entirely. I turned on Bridgerton and just deep cleaned everything
- The MINUTE I felt that knot in my stomach come up, I said OUT LOUD to myself - yes out loud..."Pause. Where do you feel the anxiety and why do you feel this way? You were fine 15 minutes ago and the only difference now is you are washing the dishes." It helps ground you and take a step back.
Hopefully some of these help.
2024.05.31 20:39 Seif495 Software Engineering students that managed to land an internship interview, how did you do it?
 | I am about to complete my third year in computer engineering. For the past 2 years, I have been applying to every company I find and with no surprise, I receive the same old rejection email. It's funny how difficult it is to find an internship where they don't even pay you anything considering that computer science is supposed to be "the future". Here you can find my resume. You can notice that I have used a very similar template to "Jake's Resume" and yet I still cannot even reach the second round of the interview. I purposely did not include my personal details in the image for obvious reasons. submitted by Seif495 to Egypt [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/wpc3qne74t3d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=94d2e10802359670f39bb59e92d01797660ed10c |
