Shoulder Strength
Shoulder Strength
My shoulders are decently strong from years and years of running but, when on long hikes with weight in a rucksack my shoulders start to kill me. Any suggestions for workouts that I may not already be doing to help them get stronger?

Ranger Tenn-RGR, about 65lbs for 8 miles with weight plates inside. I've only been doing it for about 2 weeks so I'd guess I might be over doing it?

Thank you Ranger Tenn-RGR.
For a diet plan, what would you recommend? The last time I ran hardcore was at the State Meet on June 4 of this year. My recruiters including one who was a Ranger with 2/75th said that because of my talents running that I could take the summer off from running, and I have done so since then. Generally it takes me only 2 weeks to get back into great shape after months off, running sub 12 min 2 miles. Do you, having been through everything, agree with me being able to be able to handle the cardio work outs during RIP like my recruiter does, even after the time I've taken off? I know we run a lot at BAT, but to get to my prime like track I'd have to run 50+ mile a week and I would guess that we don't peak distances like that although I would feel great knowing I could be at that level again heading into RIP. Also, protein shakes, I've recently gone off of them and have noticed a considerable decrease in brute strength since I'm usually within 135-140lb range when competing and I'm wondering if I should expect to get back to 160 during BCT since it is my natual body weight and PT cardio wise won't be as intense as I'm used to.
Sorry about all of the questions but I only have 10 days until I'm gone and would like to do what I can, the right way by you Rangers.
-- THANKS!

You need a reality check...you are not going to make any great fitness strides in 10 days. I suggest you concentrate on getting your affairs in order and just do some maintenance PT.candyman wrote:Thank you Ranger Tenn-RGR.

Thank you Rangers, 42L5V, Tenn-RGR and Silverback.
I am in good shape still, I can still run in the low 5 min range for my mile so hopefully beyond that I have some tolerance to lactic acid. I'll try and post a sitrep once I'm gone about my physical shape.
