My construction days all those years ago as a young man made me the ultra runner I am today. I dug ditches, humped lumber as a laborer, carried buckets of concrete, etc and it all helped to develop my mindset to run ultras.
Similar. My dad worked for US Steel and during the summers I worked in the mill 8-10 hours on weekdays. Came home black from dust and dirt. I never study so hard. It was the best experience of my like. Those older steel workers didn't cut me slack and let me know when I fucked up.
@@mrpsu2000 oh man I hear yeah. Can’t even begin to tell you how many times I got screamed at on a job site. Sometimes I deserved it, but sometimes I didn’t. It comes with the work. Before I made a career change I was that guy yelling at the younger guys. Lol
I was a coddled middle class kid growing up but I did farm work for 3 months followed by 6 months of construction labouring in Australian summer. That taught me what hard work is, definitely good advice for the young guys that havent done any manual labour
JZ, you are such an amazing advisor. I wish you could talk to my 13 year old daughter. She’s a good athlete that plays travel ball and wants to play college lacrosse but it’s hard to coach her as a father. I know she wants it but I’m just too aggressive I guess. But she needs to hear the truth from a world class champion. Your advice is legendary and these current kids have no idea how much knowledge you offer them. Thanks bro for who you are. Keep it up because we are definitely needing more leaders like you these days.
@@jakezweig let’s do it. We just finished a tournament and she was disappointed in her performance because she didn’t train over the summer to dominate. She’s excited to speak to you.
Roughly 60-70% of enlisted have degrees because many dudes get degrees while in the teams. Especially on the west coast, guys have been at home more. Sourced from: a dozen active team guys I know Real question is what’s the percent PRIOR to enlisting
Love the honesty.. people need to hear “your a white dude, no chance” was turned down from a lot of jobs because of my race. Never mind we built this great machine.. RIP
What jobs are you turned down due to your race?? It’s proven even a blacks sounding last name make a person inhirable?? Where are all these awesome paying jobs for blocks
Lol as a former army veteran I wouldn't recommend this young mangetting a army unassigned ranger contract either. Or a guaranteed 18 mos ( i.e special forces )series contract. Army Special Operations department is just as challenging as the Navy's special operations umbrella for any recruit. It is recommended to get the 11B MOS ( infantry) first go to airborne school, go to a line unit and have your peers and NCOs evaluate whether or not the soldier is worth the investment. It seems like a long process but in most cases the process works. Some recruits have prepared themselves properly to go directly into our special operations department while others need to first learn to adjust to the army way of life before pursuing a career in our special operations department. Anyways great discussion and advise to this young man and any others who are thinking of joining our military. I wish him the best. Peace and blessings to you too sir awesome advise my brother.
I never served and don't plan on it . but what I did do from 18 till a few years ago was move furniture for a moving company. did it 7 years and man I got strong. I weigh 160 soaking wet but got to a point of toying with my 110 pound kettlebell. I can juggle it a little bit and I do other strength feats. one on my bucket list is tearing a deck of cards in half cause I always had a good grip way before I moved all kinds of stuff. sixteen hour days back to back during summers and at least thirty to forty hours a week this time a year. worked a few thirty hour days too . I got locked out of my old TH-cam account but was just making vids for fun ...so I saved a Playlist with them vids. going to upload in the future on this account. also bought a 250 pound sandbag from Rogue Fitness...I left it at my friends house who I train with on Sundays and he will fill it up with sand soon. I know I can pick it up and carry it but I want to shoulder it...either way I'll record me lifting it. and when I shoulder it I will upload that too. I couldn't join if I wanted too anyways cause I got a juvenile record and been arrested a few times grown too lol. it is what it is. I never did sports besides recently getting into martial arts with that same friend. but I work full time so my training is limited but my strength and balance helps me make up for it somewhat. I wish the lil homeboy the best but even though I never served I can tell he's very delicate as of that vid. hopefully he took the advice.
I can imagine thats real, in my week and half sniper indoc in the corps, we did easily 1200 a day of pushups and they slow boi 😂 and pull ups, marines love em so that’s not in fathomable in the 6mo pipeline for buds, hundreds a day, every time we hit the pull bars we were smacking down 2-300
You can sense the concern. Find that inner killer homie and start fucking grinding. Eat. Grind. And don't let nothing bother you homie. You gotta KILL. everything. Make your goal to WIN NO MATTER WHAT. just my dumbass opinion but it helps me in my world big time. Overthinking screws us up.
Jake you were (as always) honest with this guy, but it was something a little strange in his demeanor, gaze and overall presence? Maybe its just me. Enjoy your content bro, wish you were around during my time in the Corp,84-88, but you were a kid lol.
Yo Jake been using your pdf I’m taking my PST may 10th right now I’m running a 9:30, swimming a 8:40, push 90 sit-ups 80. On the day of the pst should I just sprint as fast as possible in order to try to get that run down to an 8? Oh and pull-ups dead hang about 18
@@jakeflorio6980 every pound he adds upper body makes him slower running he is in college to run so we run when he finishes running then we start training
I love how what I consider a “good job” is hard to most.. construction work isn’t that hard (not easy) you don’t have quota or piece rate (typically not in the same way). Basically, if they hire women to do the job, it’s not THAT hard.. if no woman has ever done the job, it’s probably hard..
Any experience before the teams will be beneficial dawg, it's just dependant on what you feel is worth your time and it sounds like a fear-based response where you are concerned you won't be ready? If that's the case then you probably won't be. Mental>physical but sometimes it takes physical experience to find that mental endurance. Just my opinion.
@@KrazyKoleG the thing is once he is in marine recon they will want to suck him into it which means he might not ever be able to go to BUDs I say do Jake’s training and embrace the suck because the older you get the harder it’s going to be
