At what sheer frequency of dick and gay sex innuendos does Garand Thumb go from "haha what a total frat dudebro" to "is this guy a deeply closeted homosexual?"

I get it - guns are phallic and the military is homoerotic. It's funny the first time, but it starts to get weird when those are your only two jokes for years on end.

The Polenar guys are actually decent and legitimately do run a training school as far as I know, unlike those kettle ball salesmen.

I hate to be the one to break it to you…

I can understand the reasoning behind something like a kettlebell drill.

Getting the heart rate up really high, and then trying to shoot is vastly different from a relaxed range day. Getting used to shooting with fatigued arms is also probably a good thing. And to be brutally honest, a lot of gun guys could use a little exercise.

That said, I don't think the kettlebell drill is the be-all-end-all, It's a modified burpee drill. There's a lot of other drills/exercises which can and should be incorporated into regular training.

There is a lot to make fun of Kringe Karl Kasarda for, the "Kasarda Drill" is one of his lesser offenses.
 
I'm just surprised they don't get more injuries with that drill. I've seen more than a couple people pulling something by handling kettlebells too casually at the gym.

Yeah I've always wondered about that. It's like a crossfit routine combined with marksmanship, which seems like it would make people mess up their form a lot as they got tired. Messing up people's form (in marksmanship anyway) is the point of the drill, but it's also the reason why people get injured doing crossfit.

Rucking a backpack with weights in it would be safer and more representative of actually being a soldier, but wouldn't really impact your aim since it doesn't work your arms.

Crossfit by itself is stupid and dangerous so I'm not surprised gun bro vet culture endorses this kind of stupidity over traditional exercise and workouts that actually work.

What I do is a Rucksack/Plate Carrier + Burpee Drill. It works the arms, and it gets a person accustomed to getting up and down quickly with a rifle, and pack. Doing sets of "I'm up, he sees me, I'm down", and taking a shot at the end of a set does about the best I can.

I quickly learned to include a set of knee-pads into my battle-rattle.
 
If you guys really want to get into actual combat effective shape, look up the book Corps Strength by Paul J. Roarke. It's $14 on Amazon and based on real tried and true shit vs. whatever the fuck Karl and Phagan preach to retard couch commandos who think they're going to be some kind of Snake Plissken in DA BOOG just because they put on their Condor plate carrier to throw around a kettle bell.

I cannot empathize enough how much a good, nutritious diet and actual proven exercise / work out concepts improve your health over this fad bullshit of running around in full battle rattle.

Running a treadmill off a gas generator out there maybe? It's not like actual patrolling really would work your arms much either, like you said.

These types of fad workouts are quite timeless. Here is a recounting of a late-14th century French knight who invented his own workout routine, which he performed in full harness (armor depicted in the video is not period-appropriate).

It was brought up a few times in that retards first tried swinging it from either side of their body rather than from between their legs, overextending when not releasing at the right time.
