In a passionate address that has sparked discussion online, the military trainer mocked bodybuilders, bouncers, and self-proclaimed ‘killers’ who flaunt their muscles and strength in public.
Military trainer dares bodybuilders to join GAF
According to him, this set of people shy away from true service in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
He said:
“Stop taking pictures with metal. Stop jogging one mile and just be saying you are strong and tough. No, don’t talk”
According to the instructor, true toughness is not found in lifting dumbbells or taking protein shakes, but in surviving the intense, regulated environment of military life.

He also described a system where recruits have no freedom and are told when to sleep, eat, or move. According to him, these recruits must endure six months of grueling physical and mental training.
“If you want to be a real tough guy, be a recruit. Ask the security services, they will tell you who a recruit is. We tell you what to do; you don’t have your own time. Your sleeping time is limited. Your eating is limited. You take orders,” he added.
The officer’s message was not only humorous but also a serious call to action for those who see themselves as strong and capable.
He highlighted that the army is open to those who truly believe they can withstand real discipline, not just pose in photos or intimidate civilians.
In his words:
“The forms are out. Go and buy a form. Are you in your community, in your municipal district, calling yourself strong? Go buy a form and come.”
