The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
Pull-ups were a staple exercise during the 3 months of Marine Corps Bootcamp at Parris Island. At the beginning of bootcamp, I totally sucked at pull-ups and could only squeak out maybe 5 or 6 at one time. Over time as I developed strength and conditioned my body I was able to achieve 20 by […]
As Pat McNamara would say, “this is slippery slope shit“. He says that because dudes usually tend to have a pretty strong opinion of whatever workout they do. I’ve been a long time proponent of bodyweight exercises and workout routines. They require little to no equipment and can be done damn near anywhere. Recently I decided to […]
Today we are doing our first in what becomes a weekly series of workouts. The Viking Workout is a High-intensity workout that mixes both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. This workout will push you as hard as you push it. The faster you move, the harder you swing, and the more pain you put in your body […]

Incorporating strength-building tools will help you get better results and feel more confident about the time you put in at the gym. The resurgent popularity of […]
No, running is not everyone’s favorite form of exercise. The mindless jarring forward with little-to-no reprieve can last fifteen, twenty or thirty minutes before a solid, worthwhile distance run is knocked out for the day. By the end, you’re out of breath, sweaty and, if you don’t eat quickly, feeling pretty weak. The exercise is […]
Drinking water and remaining hydrated is essential for the human body to survive. I remember during Marine Corps boot camp drinking upwards of 12 canteens of water each day depending on the training evolution. We would take water breaks and have to drink a canteen until it was empty, then hold it upside down over […]
Doing a bit of info gathering, one could easily identify a sizable portion of the Loadoutroom readership that’s currently (or has in the past) associated with either Law Enforcement or the US Armed Services. Among the non-LEO or MIL readers, there still exists a significant portion who share a common interest with our uniformed associates: […]
One of my biggest problems with exercise is I get bored easily. I’m always changing my workouts while retaining the core concepts. Cardio is always cardio, but instead of a run it’s an hour of Insanity this week, next week it’s jumps, sprints, and groundwork. I like to keep things interesting and I keep them […]

I was given the opportunity to try out the Rockwell Coliseum Fit watch. Previous to this I had never heard or Rockwell Time before but after doing a little research I was eager to give it a go. I have been looking for a fitness watch that I didn’t have to link to my phone […]
