;-) nah. That's hard. 100 in one set for pullups. lol. we were working 10 sets of 10 for pullups, 10 sets of 20 for pushups and 6 sets of 50 for situps.

Sick! I'm going to start doing mine like that instead of going all out.

form over everything.

Say i get an SO contract now.. if at boot camp i can't reach the minimum req with perfect form for the first 50 reps of pushups, first 50 reps of situps and first 10 reps of pullups... i can lose my contract in basic training.

I was in swcc. Most solid advice I can give: you wont make it.

in the training pipeline or you got your pin?

aside from that.

I know chances are hard, but i'm a believer. Also i'm extremely comfy in the water.

I dropped in 07, was close to a damn pin. Out of navy now. If you want it bad enough it will happen- thats the secret. If you dont want it for half a second you will fail.

yep. That's what i've heard. Just recently my buddy got his pin and is assigned to SEAL Team ONE. He is in language school right now though. He said the way he's seen me training, if i keep humble and never give up... i could make it. No Garuntnee though.

Oh chit you in cali? You fleet/what ship you on? How long you been in? How serious/how long you been training? First bit of advice, wake up at 5 AM and go jump in the bay. You will never be dry in buds/swcc.

I'm northern Cali.
I'm in the dep program. Took me 2 years to get into the navy. During those two year's i've been training. Beach runs, Swimming. Strength. MMA. Water polo drills. All that goodness. On the daily i run in the morning. Workout, Rest. Eat. Rest. Swim for hours and then workout again. Sin'ce it is winter i have not let up on my running either. All my clothes are hanging in a shower right now from all this recent rain and me running in it. Doing sprints and what not.

My buddy is in San Diego right now though. He's learning tagalog.

and regarding how serious am i?

I'm serious to the point where this is my life.
I have no social life. It's wake up. Exercise. Eat. Exercise. Eat Exec rices and sleep.

Been doing that for 2 years, but when i was in high school my eat and rest was the school day.

I still woke up duiring school days at 5 am to do my running and workouts.

I reek of chlorine rain and sweat. No joke.

what was your job in the navy?

Ha thats a start. I had a few beers tonigh(lightweight) so Im kinda bleh. But Ill drop everything I can on you later. Also; subbd.

Getting thru buds is like the olympics. You gotta give up your life and devote your excistance to training.

edit
after failing swcc I went undes. Was a boats for 3ish years then 6 months before I got out they let me strike YN. I was on the rustiest and oldest ship in the fleet. USS Cleveland..

what does it mean they let me strike YN?

[InspecktaDeck]

If you dont have a rate your undesignated, IE seamen/airmen/firemen without a rate. Striking means to go from undes to rated. Also, get a lil fat. Beaches in coranado are cold..

[InspecktaDeck]

Looks like your covering everything nicely. I would say in order of importance SWIMMING>RUNNING>CROSS TRAINING/BODYWEIGHT MOVEMENTS>STRENGTH. Do you do kettle bell stuff? If your gonna lift I would stick to the compound movements, dont spend alot of time benching. Deadlift is good, squat your azz off. Also saw your PST score, nice swim time best I ever got was like low 10's haha

My swim i'm trying to break into 7.

Today

1030 100 Pullups 10x10, 200 Push 20x10

Let my legs soak in the the hot tub to ease the joints from the week of running and work while i got tips on how to train better and faster and what to expect from an Army Special Forces Ranger who went through Recon school, dive school and the whole 9 yards... he works side by side with SEALs. Gave me some good tips.. one that i learned last time from him was pre exhaustion. Works like a charm.

I might not be in the right position to tell you this but make sure you do a lot of lower back stretching/recovery after swimming head up. I used to play water-polo and my coach always said that a lot of the older players get lower back problems from swimming head up because your body isn't horizontal but rather tilted which puts pressure on your lower back. Just my .02

Thanks for saying. I understand where your coach is coming from.
I do plenty of lower back exercises though. Lower back is part of my core and i've been training my core to be strong for other reasons... not aesthetics necessarily.

[speX94]

Just came back from an 8 mile run. About 8. Maybe more.



Ran around that lake twice which is 2.5 miles each time and then ran up these hills.
