"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

So I have been going to the gym and lifting and eating regularly and I have been seing results.Recently I came across the SEALS/Marines workout routine. I would love it if I am built as tough as a SEAL without lifting too much weights. I am already 180 lbs and am about 5'8 or 5'9 so I don't wanna bulk more.
I am already in a decent shape right now. I want to build more endurance so I thought I would give this a try.

If you had a choice of being built as a SEAL/Marine or be bulky which one would you prefer? Currently I workout 3 days a week right now, is it possible to do both at the same time? Would that be too much stress on the body?

Thanks for the opinions :).
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Depends on what your intent is. If you want to look better, then just lift. If SEAL/Marine training is anything like the Ranger and SpecOps training I went through, you won't look any different at all, especially if you're in fairly good condition now. Plus my guess is that mil-spec training designed for civvies isn't going to be anywhere near as hard-core as the real thing, so it might not do anything more for you than regular endurance training combined with some bulking.

Yeah, unless you've got all day every day to go through hell, I'm sure the intensity isn't going to be up to par with the real deal.

You might look into a circuit routine.....there are videos on Google Video and Youtube giving insight into Rich Franklin, Bas Rutten, and Randy Couture's workout routines.
