      Calisthenics is literally derived from greek words “kalos” (beauty) and “sthenos” (strength). This form of exercise in which you use your own body as the stimulus was invented by them.

      Ancients did things similar to crossfit, not starting strength.

      Their squat/deadlift would be something akin to Atlas Stone lift or Zercher Deadlift/Squat with farm animals, sandbags or wrestling each other.

      They also exercised by holding halteres forward, shouting, most likely push ups, running, handstands, they were agility + endurance maxing beasts most of the time unless you had people who were training for Pankration in which case they would specialize in lifting heavy loads for their fighting.

        An ancient army could only afford to feed meat to soldiers locally. Greeks could do it, for example, because mostly they were fighting other city States on their shitty peninsula.
        It's impractical to supply meat to an army at war on the scale of Rome. Grain is convenient to preserve and transport. Rome did not conquer the Mediterranean because of superior physical prowess, they had numbers, professional and uniform ranks, and the flexibility to discard what doesn't work and incorporate enemy tactics and technology.

          I agree with almost everything you said but you have to realize that "meat" doesn't have to be transported, just animals that will become meat. Not to mention, there are always animals wherever the armies are, whether it's wildlife or from farms they are going through. Totally practical for all those soldiers to eat meat every day.

          I mean, it should be obvious to anyone with critical thinking skills that soldiers who did an incredible amount of physical work every day ate animal protein and energy-dense animal fats and not just grains. Sure grains would provide more calories, but you seem to be implying the soldiers ate very little or no meat and almost all their calories from grains. That's just silly and I hope you clarify.

            Highly unlikely that ancient Roman armies could expect to eat meat daily. It was considered a feat of exceptional wealth and largess that American soldiers could eat meat daily during WWII, and that's with industrialized meat production.

            While it is likely that armies on the move would take advantage of natural food sources when available, it is unlikely that the army could devote enough manpower to procuring meat for the troops from natural sources while on campaign. Julius Caesar makes constant references to securing supplies of grain for his soldiers, but never once mentions securing meat for them.

                Seems to me like you can understand the final clause in two different ways. You can connect it to the previous one, or read it on its own, interpreting the last comma like a semicolon.
                Either BECAUSE they were exhausted by lack of supplies, they were compelled to eat only meat, or that they wanted to eat only meat but couldn't due to the aforementioned shortage. Which is the actual case is requires extra info which I don't have.

          Until the 19th century most armies lived off what they could carry with them until that ran out, then switched to looting whatever the frick they could find on site. Even modern armies live off the land when logistics break down, see Russia's exploits in Ukrainian grocery stores.

                Yes anon, the World Health Organization was invented to sell protein powders. There is also no difference between protein from bread versus meat, despite life experience, common sense, and every scientific experiment saying otherwise. This is why vegans, for example, have no issues with protein intake and are never skinny or weak.

                Can we be back to being serious now?

                Wrong, protein from bread is harder for the body to synthesise because it's lower quality protein compared to meat. Post body.

                lol what the soldiers were fed a shit ton of meat and organs and whatever local fruit was around. you're thinking of gladiators, who ate bean + grains goyslop.

                >we had some moron claiming that they ate mostly meat

                It's pretty clear that's what's going on in the passage. Citing 1 sentence out of a book and not giving more context is pretty moronic by that anon, though, of course.

                I figured giving the book and line number was enough, as all you have to do is google it to find the whole thing.

                Yes, gladiators ate bean + grain goyslop (and very little meat) while Roman soldiers were fed a lot of meat and they also ate local fruit (and local meat). Grain was significant in the Roman soldier diet, just like meat was significant. I was responding to a post that said soldiers only ate mushrooms and fish sauce (extremely incorrect). Anon, you are really coping hard right now and I'm going to stop responding because I'm getting uncomfortable seeing you do this.

      I'm pretty sure when we read about Roman "training" they are talking about actual combat/campaign training and drilling. Throwing javelins, mock fights, and marching/drilling their formations etc etc.

      I highly highly doubt there was any actual "working out." I mean physical fitness would have been achieved just by doing the aforementioned things anyways as they were learning more important skills while doing it. The Roman army was successful in the late empire partly because of their engineering prowess and probably the best workout they could have done for actually being on campaign was making timbers and digging trenches plus marching.

      The only time I can find a reference to breaking in new recruits was one from Caesar I think (I'll have to find it) where he wanted the centurions to basically just march them around until they collapsed a few times.

      He would probably explain why that was very interesting but he would conclude (rightly) that every hour training to become slightly stronger was an hour wasted on drilling formation, combat technique, construction/engineering, marching, making camp, maintenance on equipment, etc etc etc.

      I agree with almost everything you said but you have to realize that "meat" doesn't have to be transported, just animals that will become meat. Not to mention, there are always animals wherever the armies are, whether it's wildlife or from farms they are going through. Totally practical for all those soldiers to eat meat every day.

      I mean, it should be obvious to anyone with critical thinking skills that soldiers who did an incredible amount of physical work every day ate animal protein and energy-dense animal fats and not just grains. Sure grains would provide more calories, but you seem to be implying the soldiers ate very little or no meat and almost all their calories from grains. That's just silly and I hope you clarify.

      I'll try to find the reference to this but I thought it was pretty well established that unless supplies were thin (which seems like it was often the case on campaign lol) that the soldiers expected to get a certain amount of what I would call hard tack plus pork fat back or other cured pork meats. You can read in between the lines though and see that on campaign it was likely feast or famine depending on the situation. There are a ton of acounts where legions basically starved but the only really bad ones I remember being specifically referenced offhand was them eating shoe leather one time in the Gallic War and then later a bunch of Antony's troops starved down to smelly tier on the way back from Parthia (or so we are told).

        You really don't think even 20 min/day of strength training with modern knowledge would help? Rome was great but far from perfect, anon.

    There are numerous account and illustrations from past civilisations of weight training being used. Ancient greeks and romans used dumbbells. Vikings, polynesian civilisations, celtics and probably many others that I don't know of used stones and logs to train their lifting capabilities.

    Romans, gladiators, and many ancient peoples ate what was available. So getting an exact diet is hard for individuals, and is mainly based on region.

    It's like when people say the gladiators ate grain and were super warriors so this is proof they were vegans and it's so great.When often they were in a grain producing area, so it was dirt cheap, and most were essentially slaves.

    Other areas near the sea, they would have had a heavy fish diet.

    Germania, tiny villages dotted around forests, so no mass scale grain production, but easy to let pigs fend for themselves that are quick to mature, so they would have a heavy pork diet.

    Wtf are we talking about again
