—”It simulates a courier in war.”

I had an teacher who had won a Bronze in the Pentathlon and OLD when I knew him, he was in incredible shape.
Old enough to have participated in the original Greek games.
He was also Lt Col USMC (Ret)

Not a braggart but if the topic of PT arose he could show some interesting tricks.

Once saw him doing single-leg deep knee bends, AKA pistol squats.

I knew they were ‘fun’ because my career Navy father taught me to do them. He could do them until his hip went out at 90.

Thanks for sharing that story. Going to class with such a teacher must have been a great experience.
