How legit is this? Maybe it'll help strengthen ur diaphragm and build mental resilience, but doesn't this destroy your knees?
Running in gas mask and weighted vests?

It will make you look like a retard unless you do it in closed military space where everyone else knows you're retarded already
Anthony Harris
I don't mean actually going out and doing it. But I mean was this shot just to look moto?
Jack Moore
No, soldiers do this. I did it when I was in the army. You need to be able to fight and run even in a contaminated environment.
Evan Richardson
I know it definitely helps with running with a gas mask and a weighted vest.
Hence why they do it.
Joseph Foster
It won't destroy your knees if you squat heavy and it will definitely beef up your heart and lungs, but running with weight teaches your body to run slower.

They don't force you to run with complete equipment (25kg+) because it destroys your knees. They order you to march with this eq though for a few days.
During unitary period they will make you to run like this just for sake of showing that you're weak shit and that's it.
Running with whole hazmat equipment without backpack is practised.
tl;dr yes, this shot was only done to make him look moto, he was a real marine in this particular unit, he played himself in Generation Kill.

Don't be under 5'6" because all squad leaders are 6'2"+ and that march is a run for you.
Luke Edwards
Same experience here from my conscription in Norway. Except also forcing us to run ranked through snow and taking ice baths etc.

Not Nordic country but got stockholm syndrome from such things and now only fun I get in life is climbing/hiking in high mountains.
