Marty would be the best person to ask, he did Hell and Back in January.
From what I've seen of the hell and back course (I'm hopefully doing it in June
), pretty much every obstacle has a point, because they all test different parts of your body.
Things like running through muck or water could be good, because they test your legs and your core muscles.
Anything involving climbing or lifting are good because they test your arms. I'd be careful about heights with climbing obstacles, though. While a 7-8ft wall might be fine for a 6ft man to climb, it could be a lot more difficult for a 5ft woman to do without help.
The one part that Hell and Back do that I'd leave out is going through muck under barbed wire. The reason for that is insurance, if people get injured doing it (as is what happened in Hell and Back), you don't want threats of being sued!0 -

I know some of ye do hell runs so i thought id ask. What things do you enjoy in hell runs and what things do you just think are pointless??
Damo and hellrazer i hope this is ok as I havent mentioned where im working and im not advertising
As Eso said every obstacle has a reason, in Hell & Back within fifty feet you were waist deep in water which was a great idea because it straight away knocks everyone out there comfort zone with a shock to the system. Plenty of water obstacles the cold each time really shocks the system plus it helps for getting heavy mud of the body.
Eso said high walls for shorter people might be to much but in my opinion they were great craic yeh some people couldn't climb them but it did encourage team work and help with the general banter, climbing through tyres, walking through tyres were good. Hurdles in the forrm of bales of hay were good just randomly dotted around the place.
If possible plenty of uphill climbs and downhill running aswell, the running uphill under a net was good, then run back down pick up a sandbag back up the hill and down with it and soon yeh hit the bottom run with a cavity block was a hard but good part I liked. The brain freeze was also a good one which was skips full of water with planks of wood in them basically forcing you to dunk your head in it.
Bascically challenge people as much they you can do.
On the barbwire crawl and people complaining about injuries you can't do something of this nature and whinge if you get an injury to be honest. Most peoples complaints from the week I done it was about the length of the barb wire part its was over 100m long and absolute torture, the following week the shortened it and seemed to be a lot less people complaining about it.
Hope that helps

You girls are doing a great job on losing the weight fair play to yas

Protein shakes and 5 meals a day

I'm jealous of you all. I've had 500 cals today, half of which was made up by a can of monster cause I was wrecked.
But I have my favourite bootcamp class tonight, yay.
So far I've had none only awake on night shifts but am about to go down and have four boiled eggs, two rashers, two slices of wholegrain bread and some orange juice which alone will dwarf your 500 cals in my first meal of the day, 0 -
