I used to lift weights in highschool and during football but didnt take things serious enough to get big gains. I didnt have a clue what I was doing and would usually work the same muscle 2-3 days in a row, not to mention the fact I wasnt taking any protein to help my muscles grow. So when I get back from boot Im going to purchase a body building book and hopefully get that lean muscle mass I would like to have...as for competitions I doubt I\'ll ever get into any of those.
Good luck bodybuilding after bootcamp, your not going to have time much at all. Depending on your MOS you go through MCT(Marine Combat Training) or ITB (Infantry Training Battalion) and then if you went to MCT you go strait to MOS school which last up to at least 6 weeks for the simple jobs. you may have time here and there at school but most of the time you should be to tired to want to do anything but sleep.
Ive heard they changed bootcamp drastically, like taking out the Crucible. Which is the highlight of bootcamp as it tests all your skills. Moved it to MCT, but I have no idea if they really have done so.
All you can do untill you get to the fleet, is weight watch. As bodybuilding with excess PT everyday definately does its toll on the body. Fatigue is a mutha.
But who knows, maybe it will be different for you. just put out like hell and kill yourself and youll be fine through boot.
Then after all that fun maybe you can join me out here in motivating iraq where the tanning is great.
