Agreed. Look at our chaps from 21, Maybe not all of them (have not seen the whole unit obviously) but have heard operatives always mentioning the fitness culture in that unit.

Our diet become carb loaded. Balancing them will be beneficial. But we don't know how special forces guys diet.

Took long time to understand this. Cut down sugar, started to include eggs, paneer, tofu, yogurt, chicken for last few months. Significant growth in muscles. I eat non veg in secrecy so bought whey protein from Amul.

Currently trying to achieve 70-100g everyday

I understand its difficult for people with Veg family traditions.

For me its free that way and what i do is…

4 eggs omelette..2 with yolk for breakfast.

Lunch is chicken curry mostly and once a week mutton..i am not much into red meat.

Snack is Greek yogurt with salt and pepper..not a fan of sugar.

Dinner is chicken breast and mashed potatoes or chapati and sukha chicken with decent amount of leafy veggies.

2 scoops of Isopure,some supplinents for vitamins and minerals and substitute for eating less salad the green powder.

IMO - cut down Dairy also as much as you can - You will see a much better improvement in overall health.

Yes. Lot of them suggesting to cut down dairy. Not possible for me. But I drink milk to gain 10 grams of protein.

Easy peasy. Will add whey protein. Outright 35-40 grams.

Man. Again endurance can be achieved when you are training with weights/Doing cardio for consistent time. Lean and bulk is basically how much fat you want to store. It is based on your diet preferences. Reduce calorie you will achieve lean muscle vice versa.

There is no correlation only when you are lean you have high endurance.

By lean I mean not too much muscle mass.
I'm talking about pic 1.

Interesting you posted this..

Argentina is a nation not very much into US camp and hence is in a position like ours where they dont have so much cooperation in SF.

They have developed slow like us but recently i am seeing them modernise quite quickly.

Beacuse it's not about money.
It's about standards and vision.
"Chalta hai atitude", high cut helmet aagye Bina comtacs ke bhi chalta hai.
Purani load vest with plate inserts chalti hai, naye plate carrier kyu kharede.
Purane time tested tactics chalte hai name tactic kyu adopt kare.
Etc.

Guys does the US participate in more than one annual jtex with paras ? Because I had a convo with a friend of mine (he ran that scramjet handle alongside me on the old forum) and he pointed out that in 2021 there were three jtex with US. One was Vajra Prahar in march @ SFTS Bakloh
second was Ex Tarkash with NSG and third was an excercise in US in November where guys from 21 and 11 went.

Yes., in some years they do JE twice.
One as vajra prahar, other as some other name..

Can please someone riddle me how a virtually bankrupt Argentina has better homogenous gear than we afford Para SF ?

This is a bitter truth, but someone needs to say it. It's the result of 'Martial Race' i.e. caste/ethnic-based recruitment predominantly from North India(for infantry, my estimate is 70%), and the lack of human development of the recruits vis-a-vis the advancing world. They might be brave, no doubt about that, but just cannon fodder. There's huge difference between an Indian infantryman and a NATO infantry...starting from tactical gun posture, to battlefield movement. This can only work under colonial rule like in the pre-independence times, with European officers and native soldiers. Lack of Benchmarking vis-a-vis the NATO forces. The army should also look towards recruiting youths from urban/metro cities and empower the NCOs and JCOs. The officers who are Airborne/SF qualified should be given preference for promotion.

 

[Indradeep Roy]

Our diet become carb loaded. Balancing them will be beneficial. But we don't know how special forces guys diet.

Vegetarianism...another necessary evil when it comes to the army. Should be blasphemous just like "Ahimsa" specially for a professional killing force.

Nothing against vegetarians but sometimes it is too much, 'Koi kisi ko maarkr kaise kha skta hai'...

Even the attitude towards protein shakes and other outsources of protein, fuss like 'heart-attack aa jayega/ lever khraab ho jayega' eliminates the only the chance of suitable protein intakes for our SF chaps!
