Most people aren't prepared for the extreme level needed to negotiate the challenging obstacles presented in the Fatal Fitness Death Certificates. There is no shame in not being able to complete or handle anything found in our programs. The most important thing to bring to the table is your willpower, which is the only weapon needed to rise to the occassion. It is also important to remember that just because you can't complete a DC as prescribed, you can still scale it to your ability… Continue

What is Fatal Fitness?

The official definition: Fatal Fitness is an intense exercise system designed specifically to supplement military pt that focuses on functional fitness with a slightly different twist in near-randomized methodology to allow incorporation of extra "miscellaneous" exercises and character development.

In addition to this, those of us designing and posting DCs sometimes take for granted that not everyone understands the warm-up and cool-down process, or even knows that it should be done by default for every DC. This Autopsy aims to educate you on not only the what and the how, but the why behind warm-up and cool-downs, and why it is extremely essential… Continue

When I think of crazy physical feats I normally think of circus acts and Chinese acrobats. Or unsettling acts on Ripley’s Believe it or Not. The kind I’m talking about though, with admiration, are those cool moves that have stood the test of time, the perpetually awesome, yet still evasive things that never find their way into how-to manuals. They’re almost taboo, these super-techniques, and because of that most “normal” people (like me) disregard… Continue
