The first picture of the article wouldn’t happen to be a photo taken at West Point would it?

Did my first medicine ball workout yesterday and am feeling it today! I just finished the Route 66 half marathon last week so I am definitely ready for a workout that does not involve hitting the pavement.

I think the reason why the hat is on backwards is so that the brim does not get in the way while still prevents sweat from running into his eyes. I do the same thing when working or working out but never do that at any other time (I have a couple hats, such as part of a uniform from working at a camp, that I will not wear backwards ever since it feels disrespectful). Wearing a hat backwards makes you look like and idiot :)

Thanks for this great site/page/blog. The exercises are awesome! I totally agree with you that the best thing about medicine balls is that they can be thrown. I’m a baseball player so all of this rotational and throwing training are really going to help me. Thanks a lot…I’m going to send this to my teammates. -Luke

@Bobby, I think that photo was somewhat staged. I’ve seen other archive photos of cadets during boxing and wrestling class wearing more conventional exercise clothing.

@James, Nothing quite like the Hayes Lung after the IOCT.

Thanks for the excellent article.

@ Evan, I felt my lungs fill with “asbestos” (or whatever it is they had in there) just looking at the picture.

@Evan,

weird that they used to have cadets do gym in their long sleeved as for class, that would have sucked.

This one is getting bookmarked! This type of training is a missing piece for those of us over -50 types.
