I think Smode's advice might be geared towards bodybuilding, which - in my opinion - is not optimized for military fitness. Bigger muscles does not necessarily mean bigger strength, and...

I actually said "weight training" is too vague a term for this discussion, and it could give the impression that you're advocating bodybuilding. The bodybuilding...
Are you kidding me? Dude, that is a typical Crossfit-style work capacity workout.
