i need to be lighter, i thought to myself as i climbed yet another wall and dropped down onto the hard packed sand in karmah, iraq.
i was on patrol with a squad of marines who jumped over walls and ran rooftop-to-rooftop. I was 32 years old and weighed 240 pounds. 13 years earlier, as a young united states marine, i weighed in at a whopping 170 pounds. After i left the marines and began my civilian career, i was still a weight lifting guy. I did most of the crazy workouts that you see in glossy muscle magazines, tried every crazy diet and took every brand new supplement that was advertised. After seven years of going to the gym and lifting weights four or five days a week, i was up to 205 pounds and 15 pounds of that was fat.
when the war in iraq started, i embedded as a civilian filmmaker with various units over the years. I was what i call fit (enough) for combat . I went back to combat training weights, distance running and sprints. Even with this regimen i still found myself 240 pounds 4 years later. After dropping over that wall in karmah, iraq i realized that i needed to change.
back in the states i met ifbb pro fitness competitor nita marquez, miss fitness nationals champion. With some very basic advice from nita, changing my workouts in the gym along with simple changes in my diet, i became truly fit for combat .
