But you can do it. It is possible. It’s not actually that difficult, it’s just doing the simple things and the basic things right. Don’t worry about all the complex things.

Bodyweight. Your own body is your gym. Look around you and find ways to exercise it. Dragon flag lowers while holding a bar or post will make your core and abs work in a way crunches never can. Using your own body will mean you are working with your biomechanics and with your anatomical differences rather than forcing yourself into a machine in a gym designed for the "average" user. I have often found little niggles have completely cleared up when I've ditched the gym, performed rehab consistently and started performing calisthenic style exercises for the bulk of my training. Even if you do want to continue with your usual routines at the gym. Try throwing in some new bodyweight exercises, you may find they help you improve your normal lifts.

Heavily influenced by the military. Cheesy in a military fashion. Examples include: using military kit when there is a potentially more practical item to use as an alternative; or, acting in a way which provides certainty that you serve (or have served) in the military with the potential to be seen by members of the public or other serving members who don't know you. A few phrases exist which imply this word’s meaning: In the Corps, "Yours aye", was the accepted sign off on any written correspondence between two people who were familiar to each other, eg: oppos, people who you had served with and had a close relationship. The sign off replaces “Yours sincerely”, etc: which would be used when the correspondents did not have a close relationship. But the pull-ups one is quite different where you get a bleep to go up and then a bleep at the top to come down, which makes it quite hard. It’s also not on a rounded scaffold pole, it’s on a squared beam so you can’t get your whole hand around it, and so as your hands start to sweat and they start to slip off. Red represents ‘Drummer Red’, the old historic colour of the British Army, worn by the infantry of the Corps from early times down to the introduction of scarlet in 1876.

Are you even a real person?!” - Another rhetorical question - “I am questioning whether or not you are some sort of man-made artificial intelligence due to the very literal, robotic nature in which you are performing, which is also incorrect.” There is a common phrase used in training on the gym floor by the lead instructor: “Thank you and finish instructors.” Cornwallis, Irresistible, Agamemnon, Amethyst and Dublin were in support. Lieutenant May was leading a patrol to search to the Kum Kale fort first and then head to Yeni-Shehr to report if enemy were at either. The lead platoon had two machine guns landing with them, with the rest of the company in reserve for the move to Yeni-Shehr. Stop; remain; pause. Derives from Voice Procedure over a radio net; the command being to “wait”, followed by the end of the transmission “out”. At this point, no further replies are expected. No matter what training I’m doing, it always keeps it a challenge. For me fitness is challenging. If you do the same thing, the same weights, the same reps, you’re going to be the same you. You need to do different things to challenge yourself and get your body to move forward.This is called at the end of every phys session in the gym at CTC, after which all other training instructors are free to leave, the phys session ends and all other ranks are then thinned out. This phrase is still sometimes referenced in everyday lingo. Depending on people’s goals, the basic compound exercises, which the Royal Marines concentrate on, are key – I don’t care whether you’re a would-be bodybuilder, a marathon runner, whether you want to be an MMA athlete or whether you’re just training for general health and fitness. I have evolved. I used to do a lot of running in the marines, because it’s key to being able to do the job. Whether you’re doing a beach landing, like they did in the Falklands, and having to move 20, 30, 40 or 80 miles across country. You grip your hands and you go down the rope and as long as you keep hold of that rope properly and you’re twisting your hands right, it slows your descent down and you get to the floor and run away from the rope and the next man goes down.

Queens:Same meaning as eyebrows; cannot be disrespected and if questioned with ‘eyebrows’ or‘queens’ the truth must be told This wagon is) on the bones of its arse.” – “(This motor vehicle is) in such a state of disrepair that if it was made of flesh and blood, it would resemble a starving version of its former self. So starved in fact, that the shape of its normally fat covered pelvis might be seen through its skin.” I did use some more of the bodybuilding elements of exercise, but keeping the big compound exercises I talked about before. By buying this book, not only do you help support us but also you can learn the hundreds of unique words that the Royal Marines use for everyday words while learning and having a giggle of course, who knows what word will be widely used tomorrow. So yes, the Royal Marines really do have their own language!A “gen dit” is a true story. A “gen dit; forward assist” is definitely, without a doubt, a true story. “Gen hoofing” means “truly spectacular” (See also: The Corps, Dit, Hoofing). Absolutely. The PRMC course (Potential Royal Marines Course) has a number of elements to it. Some of it you can’t replicate. But one thing you can do is the Royal Marines Fitness Effort which has the ‘bleep test’, like you used to do at school. There’s the running bleep test, but there’s also a press-up bleep test, a pull-up beep test and a sit-up bleep test.

Just do the basics like compound lifts, eating natural and simple foods, avoid crap like carbonated drinks, refined sugars, alcohol, artificial sugars and processed food. Avoid crap and it makes a big difference. Then just getting your training nice and intense. Yours Aye - Most used Royal Marines slang. A little history on Yours Aye and the most used slang and phases that only makes sense to Royal Marines. Many different nouns exist which include the word “Pusser’s” to make them up. In this instance it is often used as “issued”. Some examples include: Some people can push themselves hard and are pushing themselves hard, but sometimes what I get is ‘I’m doing all this right and I’m still not achieving the goals that I want.’ People often don’t know how to eat and don’t know how to recover.Extremely robust. Built to last. Highly durable. Derives from the expression “bomb-proof” implying that something will still be fully functional even after exposure to an explosion. You may hear the term: With growth in muscles, we need adaptation to happen and for adaptation we need the body to have to adapt to something. Yours aye" should only be used by Scots when signing off letters or personal correspondence. For a non-Scot to use it is unforgivably presumptive unless the writer is American, in which case no further harm can possibly be done. Short for "genuine"; to be true; honestly. Is one of the most commonly used words in The Corps. Is more often used on its own as a question to convey disbelief whilst also inciting the truth from someone. Aye" is commonly used in Scots song and poetry instead of the English "ever" or "always", e.g. "I'll aye be wi' ye...", (I will always be with you...).
