Is army ranger training tougher than marine basic training?

Yes. The Army Ranger's RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) is much harder than USMC Basic Combat Training. The final phase of RIP is spent near Fort Eglin, Florida, and involves a night time air drop into the swamps of Florida.

There are actually two "Ranger Training" schools, and both are tougher than Marine boot camp.

Ranger School is a 61-day course focusing on small-unit tactics. It has three phases--the Benning Phase at Fort Benning; the Mountain Phase at Camp Merrill, GA, and the Florida Phase at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. Any combat arms soldier can go to Ranger School; it is required for NCOs and Officers assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment.

The 8-week Ranger Assessment and Selection Program replaced the Ranger Indoctrination Program. It's twice as long (RIP was four weeks) and twice as tough. Most guys do not fail RASP. They quit. Forty percent of everyone who arrives at RASP quits the first day. Eighty percent of everyone who goes to RASP quits before the end of the course. That school is no joke.

What is resistence training?

Resistance Training is simply the basic workout of lunges, push-ups, sit-ups, walking, running at a slow and steady pace, and stretching. It is mostly used for warm-ups at the beginning of an intense or more than 30 minute work out. If you want something to get you pumped for more or maybe just getting relaxed then I would choose to practice Resistance Training daily and allow 1 or 2 day a week breaks.

Discuss the production and dissipation of mechanical energy in a lifting weight holding up lowering the weight slowly?

1: Humans intake chemical energy in the form of food

2. when blood flows in to the tissues, energy and heat is released in tissues.

3. when lifting weights, this energy is used to perform work(lifting weights) and some amount is also lost as heat.

4.When weights are lifted, the energy is stored as potential energy.

5.when weights are lowered, muscles do work against gravity..this energy is used to increase the temp of muscles, part of it results in muscle wear.

What muscles are used during power snatch?

the muscles involved are your muscles involved in deadlift and presses

that is

quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, butt, lower back, mid back, abdominals, trapezious, deltoids, triceps,chest, biceps, forearms, lats.

So it works your whole body

Why does weight lifting use the anaerobic system?

weight lifting uses the anaerobic system because no matter which sport or which event you are doing your body will always use this system first in total this system only lasts around 60-90 seconds so if the event is shorter than this they would have only used their anaerobic system however if the event is longer than this and they are still not using oxygen then they will ge ta uil up of lactic acid and if they are using oxygen( aerobically) they will be able to convert the pyruvic acid (substance which comes before lactic acid) into ATP thus creating movement

so weightlifting is an anaerobic system and no matter how heavy the weight may be as long as the event lasts less than a maximum of 90 seconds then it will remain anaerobic

haha wqent into a bit of detail there but

How can you make whey protein taste good?

There's a few ways, since I encounter this myself.

One way could be mixing the powder in milk and adding a teaspoon of instant coffee. This makes the taste a little better.

You can also add the powder to any juice or drink, like Gatorade or orange juice. You can experiment and blend a whole bunch of fruits too (strawberries, bananas, blueberries).

Experimenting is fun and it'll probably make you drink your protein more.

You are taking boldenone 300mg and tren 100mg how much and how often should you take this its your first time?

tren is not so harsh. does not aromase. you can take either 50-75 per day or 75-100 every other day. boldenon I'd do maybe 200 mg but start the tren after a week or two The boldenon is a long lasting steroid which produces slower gains but they are good gains that you should keep

What is the equation for breaking strength conversion to tensile strength they aren't the same are they?

well refering to breaking strength and tensile strength, there are alot of similarities but this doesnt mean thet are the same for tensile strength the easier of the two equations its T.S= force/ area.

Why are some weight lifting machines movable pulley?

Movable pulleys allow you to adjust your exercise to target different muscles or work them in different ways, and adjust the machine to better work with your body size and shape.

Can the lifting capacity of a crane be increased by increasin the counter weight?

In theory - yes. However in the real world cranes are rated to lift a specified amount and you should NEVER, EVER exceed it. AND, the rest of the crane (boom, cable, etc) can only handle so much weight, so once again, don't exceed that.

How do you Calculate the power output of a Person that bench presses 150 pounds 30 times in 10 seconds and moves the barbell a distance of 24 inches during each press?

Power is defined as work over time. Thus, we must first calculate the work involved in moving the barbell. W = Fd = 150 lbs * 2 ft = 300 ft-lbs per rep The work expended over the entire work out is thus 30 * 300 ft-lbs = 9000 ft-lbs. Since P = W/t, the power output is P = 9000 ft-lbs/10s = 900 ft-lbs/sec, which is about 1222 watts.
