My training is going great, thanks for asking. I have saved my money for awhile now so I don't have to work and can focus 100 percent on my training. I should be ready to go in a few months.
Hey Bud, responding to your last post on protien intake. I know the recommended intake of protein and carbs/fats from the Seal Nutrition guide I purchased. Thats the best manual Ive ever read/used to keep track of everything. I'm not entirely sure on the human bodies abilities to absorb levels of protien/carbs/fats. Ive resently spoken to cousin of mine who attends UIC (majoring in bio-engineering) He told me that the human body only absorbs about 33.3% of any and all calories consumed. This probably varies from person to person. As far as running goes, I take supplements of vitamin C (occasionally centrum supplements) to foritfy my immune system. I dont know about centrum but I feel much better when taking vitamin C (orange juice and Vitamin C supplement) - Running reduces your immune systems abilities. I also want to mention that winter is just around the corner and here in Chicago its no joke. (especially the wind chill) Last year I coughed blood for 2 weeks. My throat got tore up from the cold air. I wear a Ninja mask which helps me breath in warmer air but the neighbors think there is a Jihadist going for a run. lol Take it easy m8...I will send my nutrition menu (personalized) and training regiment whenever I get the time. L8R
Actually, I really know nothing about it. I just know I need to get it done before I go in as well. I might google it later to do some research on it...
Hey BL. Let me know what your training regiment is like. What are your goals and how are you approaching them. Ive been researching nutrition and training regiments since I was 18 and have accumulated alot of information during that time. I have also tested that information according to my genetic make-up. I'm 225lbs and I'm going to weigh 190lbs at the end of this year. I'm classified as a Mesomorph and Im trying to create a balance between stregnth and endurance. I max out at 350 lbs (150kg) for the bench-press but my running isnt up to par yet. I ran a mile in 5 min and 56 seconds (best record) but now my mile is around 11 min. I can get back to the 6-9 min 1.5m in the next 3 months. Let me know what your trying to do and your own set goals. We can exchange nutritional information as well as training regiments. Take care M8 and I dont have to tell you not to give up because you already know that ...take care ^_^
Hey Bl_85, nice profile. I like your attitude and hope you dont have any clowns in your life doubting/disrespecting you about your desire to become "one of them". I have no support what-so-ever, until this site started to function properly. My "family" and my friends hate Bush, hate the military and preety bunch hate anything resembling the harsh realities in life. Just listen to your mind and heart I thought I would infrom you (to the best of my knowledge) about your eye site problem. From what Ive read, you can get lasik eye surgery in the Navy and one year later you can resume/start your training. (You might want to ask/read around about this first if you dont already know. I knew a guy that hooked up my security system in my house who was in the coast gaurd for 6 yrs. He was in a motorcycle accident and his optic nerve was disconnected from his brain. In that case Lasik eye surgery wont help. If I had that problem (which I don't) I would look at sites like www.intercytex.com and wait for bio-engineers to develop permanent cure/modifications to the human body. I love science, specificly genetics and transgenics. Keep your head up and best of luck to you.
Education is paramont! Just because you are physically doesnt mean that is all it takes to be a SEAL, let alone just to be in the NAVY. Study to do your best on the entrance exams and of course keep fit and never loose sight of your dreams. HooYah! You can do it!
...take care ^_^
