Name one person who can do this, and I'll be surprised.
Edit; Besides yourself. Please don't crush me :)

Exactly my point!! A soldier needs to be the quintessential generalist and this CFE program makes perfect sense for them. On the other hand, for a specialist athlete, already on the peaking cycle, CFE would probably detract from the performance more than it would help.
If a 43 year old retired Marine engaging in Triathlon type training, can trounce an active duty 20-something "soldier" who uses CF/CFE (Im going to assume you meant
Marine but dont understand the difference), on a PFT, then I suspect its about as useful to the Military as
Pilates.
I also suspect that most of you Pro CF people are assuming that everyone on this has or does only engage in TRI or endurance based activities, that we all weight about 145 to 165lbs, and only know our way thru a gym because they have treadmills in the there. ;-)
You MIGHT find that there are individuals here you can readily walk into a gym, knock out deadlifts, squats, dumbell bench presses, etc with bodyweight for 100reps. and then go for a few hours worth of cardio. And most importantly, we can do it again TOMORROW, and the day after that. A CFE practioner would bonk so hard they'd leave a smoking crater............
