Introduction - Ryan

[CanesWrestling151]

Hello Rangers!

Starting off, I would just like to say, mass respect to all those who have served on here. I know that the Army can be tough, let alone what the Rangers go through. I've just had a desire to be able to say. "I'm the best at what I do." I know the Rangers could offer that. Well, I'm currently 17 in my junior year of high school in North Georgia, and I can say I love fitness and working out in general. I'd love to give myself a PT test at any time. Right now it looks to be about.

Push Ups- 50
Sit Ups- 60
2 mile- 15:05

I've been more focused on gaining weight and bulking up ever since the prior wrestling season has ended, which I know I've excluded cardio type workouts. I also know I have time but I want to be as prepared as possible. The wrestling mindset really helps out a lot mentally, though I know it's nothing compared to RASP, it's a start. The first goal in mind is completing Basic Training at age 17, and I know I can do it. There's nothing else I'd want more than Ranger status, and I'm willing to give 110% if I can make it that far. I rushed here with so many questions and honestly forgot my intro. I just really want it, and I hope everyone can understand that.

Welcome Ryan. Bulking up is not a good idea, you need to train for endurance. Rangers have to be in the best condition possible, and that doesn't mean being the Incredible Hulk. Think more of a swimmers body.

Pay attention to detail, read the FAQs and board rules, and if you're really serious about becoming an Airborne Ranger.... never, ever quit.
