Wouldn't rule out going to the gym. Everyone will have different fitness that needs improved

Gym still good just do light weights full body workout and do a ton of reps

@@TOOwiZ42 Gym workouts are better than nothing. But they're no match for running, climbing, rucking, carrying heavy items in deep sand, swimming, jumping, endless pushups, pullups, situps and calisthenics, obstacle courses, lifting huge logs, rowing rafts through waves, etc. One only has so much time to train, so any time in the gym is wasted.

The only true answer is always the same: it depends cit. Are you strong enough already? Good. Go bodyweight/runs/swims all the way. Are you an endurance type of guy already? You need the strength. Are you in the middle of the tactical space regarding your qualities/preparation to selection? Then cycle between them. Build on your strong points and address your weakness. Don't waste time thinking there is only one way (in life) -- it's never the case.

This is horrible advice. Please lift weights, it's a crucial part of passing selection.

Well, there is a minimum standard test before you go but you right you right

Every day of the week

18 in 2 minutes

You should check out AFSPECWAR (Air Force Special Warfare), 18 is solid, but due to SEALs being so popular, the process of abtaining a SEAL contract requires insane numbers. you're probably qualified if your numbers are in that range regarding all other exercises.

😂 exactly what I was thinking but do some research most sources say 15 is the sweet spot as far as pull ups go

That’s good if you want to fail.

@@thomasmccann3679 Do you know what a percentile is? What he commented is what another SEAL did. Chadd Wright talked about doing exactly that. Staying out of the way. Middle of the pack. Not slow, not fast. Just good. And keep in mind 60th percentile in BUD/S puts you in 99th percentile of men.

Not according to other SEALs who knew him, believe it or not. I can't say for sure myself because I was never a SEAL, but there's been a lot of chatter among guys who were SEALs that worked with Jocko who've commented on his lack of athleticism. He was pretty clunky and sloppy in CQB, lacked agility, and had a tendency to get too amped-up and impatient early in his SEAL career. I've never seen or read anything about him being unsafe when training in kill houses before, just that he didn't have the same level of athleticism that 99% of SEALs do. One of the biggest traits they look for and emphasize in CQB is fluid motion and graceful agility when moving through each room, and that was something Jocko was just a little too slow and clunky at in comparison with others. This makes sense to me actually. Jocko is a natural born coach and leader at the end of the day. The best coaches were never the best players. They had to overcome their physical limitations with technique and fundamentals. Lacking a typical SEAL's athleticism would explain why he opted for officer's academy instead of Green Team (SEAL Team 6 training) upon eligibility. I think he realized what his strengths and weaknesses were, and knew he would be much better as a team commander than he would a singular commando; if that makes sense. He's better at devising the plans and enforcing the discipline among his men to train for them than he is at actually executing them himself- and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Everyone has a role to play in success. Jocko's was the motivator and organizer who put those with the superior physical abilities in the best positions to succeed. It takes a lot of humility and devotion to the cause to step aside in order for the team to better accomplish the mission instead of using your position of power to set your own self up for individual glory.

@brittonthompson6192 That's an interesting take. I wasn't a SEAL either and I don't know him so I really couldn't say.

@@Britton_Thompsonvery believable because he is a big guy. Small guy will alway very more agile, faster reaction, endurance and quicker.

Exactly

Only if you fail a evolution they want to see how hard you push yourself to redeem yourself

No, they talk to you and ask why you failed. Then you have 2 more chances. If you fail beyond a certain point then yes, they boot you; HOWEVER, if the instructors like you, they help you along. Lots of former SEALs mentioned that it doesn't matter if you're a stud. If you're a shitbag, they WILL kick you out. No matter what.

You must be new here.
