Well it depends what branch he's going in. If it's the Air Force or navy, Training should consist of mass consumption of beer (16 ounce curls) and sitting on your ass watching Southpark. The Army isn't all that hard unless you're going to be a killer in the woods AKA a grunt. I'm in the army and I didn't have a prob. You run, push and do situps(Plus get yelled at alot). Grunts however get the shit smoked out of them. Marines are kick ass...so having said that build up your running distance to about 8 miles and you're good. Work on good push ups nice and slow all the way up all the way down. Not this head bobbing shit and situps/ crunches. 8 years of neglect under Billy Clinton has got us a little soft but George W. Bush is getting us on track.

The hardest part for me was not getting enough food. I've always eaten like a body builder and going to 3 meal a day and running all the fucking time I lost a LOT of mass. I dropped over 20 lbs at PI and I was less than 10% BF going in.

you said it man!!! not eating enough was DEFINITELY the worst part for me! i was always hungry and that put me in a shitty mood all day which made EVERYTHING harder! i went in at 165 and came out at 135!!! i didnt look a healthy 135 either, i looked sick, but felt stronger then ever.........i got back up to 165 within a couple months though.Comment
