Bulking your body up not the best answer either. A lean strong physique ... definitely more valuable than carrying around excess muscle... good luck to all the aspiring people. If you prepare before you go, and you have the mental strength, you will make it through barring any physical or medical setbacks. I served 6 years in the Navy. Not as a Navy SEAL!, still, glad I served around some of them, and I have great respect for those making that incredible attempt.
I agree. It’s a combination of both and unique to individuals. Lean and mean with muscle endurance. The mindset and mental resilience is the pinnacle of this or anything in life. There will be set backs, failures and everything else.
I think it's very important what you say focus on what's in front of you that's doing PT drills swimming but it's also a a a a a long-term or short-term Focus yeah do not focus what's going to happen after you get done with the days training of course stay focused but overall focus on what and what you are doing and that focus is becoming a seal the coming of marine the coming of Ranger the coming of soldier if you truly want to be that one thing for 10 years 5 years 6 months 2 years then just be that it will automatically push you in the direction where you need to be going if you actually want to be that from every grain of sand from every smudge of dirt do you want to be that Soldier you want to be that Ranger you want to be that seal you want to be that Marine you want to be when you want to be Sandy you want to be cold you want to be hot because that's what it is to be those things is uncomfortable do not like the comfortability most likely you just want to wear a uniform and not actually do the job
Yes. I had the opportunity to attend SOAS. I was not selected this cycle, I’m going back. I have first had knowledge and a better understanding of the process and training. I’m currently in the Navy. Thanks- where in the SF process, are you?
@@evanjohnson4133 Civilian. I'm training for auto-qual scores on the PST prior to seeing a recruiter. Summer of 2021 I hit all the numbers with the test broken into thirds, i.e. swam a sub 9, did 85, 85, 20 on the pushups situps pull ups, and ran a sub 9. From there I was working on putting it all together but in November I had a back injury that set me back quite a ways. I'm currently working on getting all my numbers back to pre injury levels and beyond to a 5/5 competitive standard.
@@isaachassel good luck on ur journey. I would add to your workouts and recovery Yoga and pilates. For strength, flexibility and mobility. It’s a underrated active recovery piece to this
@@evanjohnson4133 Thanks. I've tried yoga but never really enjoyed it. I generally do foam rolling and occasional Epson salt baths for flexibility/recovery. I loved pilates! It was one of my favorite electives in college. Haven't gotten back into it since though unfortunately. I do attend a weekly ballet class which gives some of the flexibility benefits but is more about strengthening the ankles than the core. Hopefully the gym I go to will add a pilates class to their group fitness schedule.
I would say calisthenics are very important. But don’t but the barbell and weights down. You don’t see professional athletes getting ready by doing calisthenics. They are in the weight room. (Hint whey they have some of the best weight rooms in the world) Same goes for buds. It’s one of the hardest trainings in the world. You don’t prepare by just doing calisthenics. Be powerful strong fast and resilient. You learn those while underneath a bar in a stressful position👍 -nice video by the way👍
Yes, very true. Like I said in my video: after you get off the bar, squat rack to go straight into Calisthenics- to build muscle endurance and stamina. Strength is a core component but not limited to

Hi, I’m a 21 year old woman and I’m training for an SO contract. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates have issues with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?
I respectfully disagree. Soft sand running or rucksack running is NOT necessary. If you would like me to reveal the most EFFECTIVE steps reach out to me. Thanks.
@@evanjohnson4133 I understand. But there's a reason why you do not hear SEALs say they've done ruck runs or sift sand runs prior to training. Too much wear and tear on the lower extremities prior to training. I'm trying to give you valid insight
@@keith1689 yes, i agree. But learning and training in soft sand is important if you’re not accustomed to it. Training is training. I’m speaking from/for myself. I was in SOAS and it was a gut check-

Dude you knew what you had to do. You told me you were fine at 30 miles a week!!!!!!!!!!!! SELF TALK IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU. SINGLE MIND SET COMPLETELY AGREE !!!!!

@@jakezweig I made it through the process and I wasn’t selected. I put out the entire time, at the time I was not an officer I was still in HM1 so I wasn’t selected.
