War Department Physical Training Interest Factor

READ THIS:

“Physical training instruction should be made as interesting as possible, so that it will react as an exhilarant and awaken the enthusiasm of the men. This enthusiasm will not result, however, if the mind is not employed as well as the body.”

That quote is from page 13 of the US War Department's Basic Field Manual - Physical Training, of March 6, 1941.



This basic concept is part of the foundation of Atomic Athletic. Let's face it, if your goal is merely the stimulation of muscle fiber, then you should get a manual labor job. You will get plenty of stimulation and make some money as well. Of course, you will have very limited success in real result producing strength and conditioning work. Your “bodybuilding” results, such as they may be, will also be limited. Of course, any skill based work, like snatches or cleans, will be non-existent.

Employ the Mind as well as the Body!
