Marine Corps recommended training program for future Drill Instructors

http://www.usmchq.com/usmcresources/bootcamp.htm

what do you guys think of this 8 week program. Its suppose to mimic basic training for the marine corp??????

With a overall goal in mind of getting in shape and adding a little mass?

You will definitely get into shape and look great, but you won't gain much mass. The Marine Corps focuses on power times speed rather than forklift strength. Meaning bodyweight strength exercises and muscular endurance will be stressed over strength. I actually lost close to 40 lbs on Parris Island. But it would be a good program for overall strength and health.

were you overweight before you went in?

Also as long as I am eating in more calories than I burn, I will put on some weight correct?

yeah I was pretty disgusting, I wish I took some b4 pics for motivation. But you will be fine if you're not actually going to boot camp as you can prepare your own meals and eat them when you need to. We ate 3 square meals a day but burned more calories in the course of the days activities than we could take in. So even guys that were big and lifted weights lost muscle mass. My Senior Drill Instructor was a big weightlifter and even he went catabolic (spelling? right word?) during the training cycle. My only concern is that with the intense amounts of cardio and endurance work, its hard to get ripped on a military program.

But then you did say you wanted to get in shape and add a little mass as an overall goal, and you will definitely accomplish that goal with this program so maybe I should shut my big jarhead mouth huh?

The Marine Corps focuses on "building lean, mean green machines"! It is definatly not a mass program. You are going to loose weight in 9 out of ten instances. However if you get a kid who was an athlete he will more than likely gain weight just because they make you eat three times a day. I was a four sport athlete, in great shape and I came out of bootcamp about 5 lbs heavier.

Cool thanks for the input.

Overall I am a hardgainer, my maintance calories are about 2,600 thats with working out 3 on 2 off.

The way i look at it if i train 4 days in a row and im eating close to double my maintance 7 days a week, i should at the very least maintain my lean body mass, if not adda couple of pounds.

I wouldn't worry about it much. You simply won't have the time to think about it. In bootcamp every minute is planned for you! During my free time at night I used to get as many pushups and pull ups as I could, after I polished my boots, wrote letters home, and showered, shaved and shit!

Oohhh Rah!!

I don't know if I'd call that being a hardgainer, I train 3 times a week with at least one day in between and I eat about 4,000 calories a day. Even at that, I only gain 2-4lbs per month and 4 is lucky. Personally though, for what I want, 4lbs a month is a nice rate, and I don't even know if I'd consider that being a hardgainer.
