Thanks to everyone who checked our article out on service members entering the fitness industry. I'm going to start writing more about things like this, sharing some personal experiences that I learned from my time in the military, and pretty much anything that I feel like will be helpful for your training. Lots of different directions to go right off the bat though - what are some topics you'd like to learn more about? Or general subjects you're interested in and want to hear more? Subscribe to the substack if you'd like. I'll be dropping links in this forum as well.

Hi, my name is Christian, and I have been working as a strength & conditioning coach for the last 20+ years. First and foremost I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of this community. I hope I can positively contribute to this community, and share the lessons I have learned to help others learn from it. Basically, you don't have to make the mistakes I did 😊 Since I want to keep this post about how I can contribute to the community, I leave this post as it is now. If you are interested in my experiences, I am happy to share them, if you indicate it in the comments 😊 All the best, Christian.

Wanted to get your thoughts on an idea for a sub-community in this group. I get a ton of questions about prepping for the CSCS or from people who want to go from being in the military to getting their coaching certifications and working in the field. Would this be a helpful sub-community for anybody? If you're interested, then please just give the post a like or drop a comment with feedback so I can gauge interest.

My selection date is in November for a Canadian Maritime Interdiction unit. Im 160 lbs at 5'10 ish. I'm wondering how often people have success at selection with visible abs. Or an idea of how much weight I should put on.

Hey all, it looks like neckvember is a bolt on program, but I am curious if you see any issues adding it on the upcoming cycle of warfighter? Thanks!
