Need to be strong, but nimble enough to move around quickly for long periods of time. Hand to hand combat is very, very rare on the actual battlefield.
a "good soldier" is basically just an endurance athlete.
Yes, just watch gopro footage from Ukraine and you'll see just how much these guys have to run around with all their gear.
Like said. A soldier is an endurance athlete.
this is just untrue now, with mechanized everything the emphasis on individual strength and the associated cost of making you blow out all your joints in your lower body on the army medical system, you really just need to be able to run around with a combat load for ages
i feel like in a few decades, even rucking will be little more than a workout routine, as everything heavy will get flown, dragged, driven, or towed just to stay as mobile as possible
also >carry a 500lb dummy around >HANDGUN accuracy ever mattering
a realistic set would be:
1: 20 full extension pullups
2: 7 minute mile run
3. 12 mile ruck run with 60 pounds ruck + combat boots with rifle in under 3 hours
4. After all of these hit a IPSA target with an issued M4 w/ CCO from 100 yards 19/20 times
5. Call for fire with no errors to both a preplanned TRP and off a map grid in under a minute each
6. Call a 9-line with no mistakes in under 30 seconds
heavy lifts and oversized rucks are a dead meme when the army is on the hook for your knees, handguns are never going to be relevant in combat, and ensuring someone is capable of communicating is infinitely more critical than their 1RM
I don't think more than 5% of any fighting formation in the last thousand years could unironically do this. You know how I know you've never done shit?
what country are you from because clearly english isn't your first language. It's interesting because you use pounds, feet and inches but you consistently fuck up what should be hyphenated quantities of weight. A native english speaker wouldn't even think about it.
Skinny manlets have always had better endurance capacity then roided bulls. You just need to be strong enough to carry gear and move wounded,
. Extra mass is going to compromise endurance, agility, and mobility. There's no reason to be a power lifter in combat. Up until the past few decades all those SF guys were smaller 5'8 150 pound dudes, and then there was this shift over to steroids and bulking all this mass. If you actually run around 12 hours a day you're going to be lean

If you can't do all of these inside of 5 hour you are no better than a woman from a combat asset perspective:
1: 30 full extension pullups in one set, 3 second pause at the bottom and 1 second pause above the bar
2: 5 minute mile run
3. 225 pounds bench press for a set of 12 reps, butt on the bench, 3 second pause on the bottom and 1 second pause at the top
4. 405 pounds squat for a set of 12 reps, 3 second pause at the bottom and 1 second pause at the top
5. 495 pounds deadlift for a set of 12 reps, 3 second pause at the bottom and 1 second pause at the top
6. 12 mile ruck run with 100 pounds ruck + combat boots with both hands on a rifle wearing a gas mask under 3 hours
7. After all of these hit a 1 square inch target with a standard M4 carbine from 100 yards 19/20 times
8 Climb a 100 foot rope with a 50 pounds rucksack 12 times
9. Carry a 200 pounds deadweight dummy for 1 mile
10. Carry a 500 pounds deadweight dummy for 100 yards
11. After all of these hit a 1 square inch target from 50 yards with a 9mm pistol 19/20
Again if you can't do all of these inside of 5 hours you are effectively a woman from a combat perspective
this is basically what russia was saying they were from 1990-2022

I’m going to guess that <5% of professional athletes can pull off just the physical part of that list
you're way too generous to women
lmfao

You've literally never ran in your life

Here's your (You)
If you can find me literally anyone anywhere in the world who can do this I will give you a million dollars

How much you bench doesn't mean shit in a combat situation, moron

Oh you just had to set them off revealing the initiation training
Manlets have always been the go, but they need to be fit manlets.
This happenef like 200 years ago anon, get on with the times.

Stamina is always important. Even if you're just a paper pusher, you need to be able to run around all day delivering paperwork.
