    Really, better at what??? Climbing rocks?? Climbing rocks is LEET is it??? Are they climbing those rocks while taking enemy fire? 10th Mountain Div climbs rocks. The US Special Forces and Delta are the top level, anyone even thinking of saying otherwise better apologize for even thinking it. If recognition and glory hounding is what you seek, go join the Seals.

    I've never served. But my training motto to 'be hard to kill' since I got back into training a little over 3 months ago (after over 5 years off) is: Functional strength. Functional fitness. Train hard. Train smart. Eat right. Sleep right. Stay hard. 🤘

    Feared this might be clickbait. But RM 45 Cdo ML. Different gravy. Glad they’re getting some credit. Few know of them. In the combat arms we often speak of ‘hard routine’. These men lead ‘hard lives’. To them ‘hard routine’ is a bit of time off. Remarkable men.

    Yet another interesting video which gives us mere mortals the chance to understand rare humans. It's becoming clear that the more "elite" the subject, the more based they appear. None of the Billy Big Bollocks stuff, just giving us an insight into why they are so extraordinary.

    Great interview, as a woman watching this, I could tell instantly by his demeanour that this chap is a different breed. This video is a great inspiration and reminds me that with the 1% mindset anything is achievable.. I fully agree and have lived a life doing "hard things" and I plan on doing so for as long as my mind will let me, the body follows the mind. I should like to visit the 'Star Inn pub' one day.
