lol, i did better than him when i was 16, 38 push up(chest touched the ground each time and i accidentally put my leg down so i had to stop -_-), 85 sit ups, 9 minute run, 5:32 for a 500 (swimming moderately)
entering seal training is the easiest part, surviving BUD/S, how bout you niggas try that for a change. I myself, havent, but i will enlist in SEAL training after i graduate
Ok, this I don't understand. Why is it that the physical requirements for BUDS is so low (1.5 miles in 11mins. 42 pushups and x number of situps in a certain time) when in BUDS you might have to do 1000 push ups in one day, run for ever or as long as the SEAL instructors feel like, make you do log situps for long periods of time. If the physical body is not what is going to get you through BUDS, then why is there a seemingly low physical requirement? what is the mental requirement?

lol 10 min mile he was on a48 push ups is ok if u dont train push up and sit ups for him were horrible i could do sit ups all day lol and te running wow i hope he dint make it cuase hes gona have a horrible time being traind
@nevereatshrededwheat i disagree pullups are ez for me, the big gauntlet for me in my opinion is the swimming which i already have down to 11 min and by the end of the summer 10 min
seriously, if they double the minimum requirement standards, then maybe BUDS drop out rate would be lower. because it forces people to realize that it can and will get difficult.
really are you fucking serious you dumb fuck ive been in the military i know what a fucking pushup is and if you ever tried even touching down for a sec theyd rip your head off so go do some and shut up
this dude is a sports reporter, new wonder he can't do this, but I think the guys who really want to be seals train for this befor doing the test and ace it
The perfect Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) includes:
18 minute (or less) three mile run
20 continuous pull-ups (all the way up and all the way down)
100 situps in 2 minutes (all the way up, then down to shoulder blades hitting the ground).
But guess what, performing this perfectly does not even begin to guarantee a good Marine. As far as i'm concerned, fitness is elementary for Marines- it's necessary but not sufficient.
thats because these minimum requirements are for all of the navys special jobs. swcc, seals, divers, eod. just because you can pass the requirements doesnt mean your gonna be any of these. theyr all hard training
@12robinredbreast id like to see you shoot a video of yourself doing the minimum requirements in perfect form, because this sloppy mess most likely wont be accepted.
@04brandl because the seals are over rated......look everyone gets SOOO fuckin stingy when u talk about any branch of the military....."marines the hardest boot camp of them all" and if you look at the shit they actually do.....it really isnt hard, mentally challenging maybe with all the screaming power trip freaks...though this video is barely what seals go through
@04brandl you say that when ur sitting on ur ass doing nothing. 500 yards in 12 min alone is hard, then everything else on top... its not easy as you would think
@04brandl It's not meant to be hard. It's just a test. The standards they set for you to reach are the bare minimum. Anyone who doesn't exceed the standards is likely not going to get a spot in BUD/s.
@lazybonez1 dude, seriously. Shut your fucking mouth if you don't know what you're talking about. You touch your chest to the ground when you do a pushup. You don't fucking lay on the ground. What a dumbass.
@44marines Im sure that you cant switch branchs in the military you might have to look up more on how the system works and find out wich one youre gunna go in.
i was sick all night and didnt get to go on the carb overload dinner with the team. i threw up what little food i had been given after weigh ins and then it was several hours of dry heaves but damn if that continental breakfast wont damn good the next morning. i gained 10lbs that day even though i had to wrestle all day. i got cheated out of 3rd place by that faggot ref. everybody knows it too
except they forget to mention the fact your tryout will be full to the brim with people in the pool kicking your head/face and pushing you while you swim.
and the fact that you have to do the tryout at 5 AM with no food in your system.
I passed the physical screening test (PST) for seals, it was quite difficult the first time around because i was into body building which does NOT help out with any part of this. i passed it on my sixth go around of it, now i have my SO contract and i leave soon. My respect goes to the SEALs and all other military personnel.
Good luck. Agree that bodybuilding is not the solution to getting into shape for BUD/S. If I were preparing for BUD/S (I'm too old now), I would focus on swimming, running, doing flutter kicks while wearing boots and ankle weights, chin-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and more swimming, and more swimming, AND MORE SWIMMING! You get the picture.
All of us wannabe seals, eod, diver, swcc, and air rescue guys and some girls get trained by Chief Adams who is a seal and another seal Chris Withrow. Basically what we do are exercises like push ups, sit ups, pull ups, flutter kicks, bear crawls, 8 count body builders, swimming sprints, running.... A lot of this. thats three days a week. but you have to train on your own just give yourself one or two days off and work your ass off for the rest.
the PT test in my NJROTC unit is nothin.i got 100 push ups. 112 sit ups. and for the mile and a half, i got 8:43. i hope thats challenging enough for the navy SEALs
This is just a test to see if your even physically capable. 40 percent make the challenge, but after that only 15 percent of a BUD/S class of around 250 15 percent make it though to be an actual SEAL.
Made it through hell week and into Dive (2nd) phase, but was performance dropped 6 weeks after hell week. 5 out of 130 of the originals graduated in my class..one of the smallest in the history of BUD/S.
One thing to think about when taking the SEAL PST is the score they want you to reach is MINIMUM. My first PST sucked, but I did meet the requirements. I have been in DEP for the SWCC program for about four months now, and I have had the opportunity to train with other Spec Ops kids, AO1 Nick Martin, and even Jeff Kraus. Those dudes will motivate you to dramatically improve your scores. I've dropped my swim time by two full minutes just learning to master the combat sidestroke!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I took the SEAL PST at JRobinsons 14-day Intensive Wrestling Camp. I placed 1st in my group with a 11:30 Swim time, 104 pushups, 120 situps, and 26 pullups.
I'm going to BUD/S in 4 years and what I find is amazing is that even the people that pass this simple test which is only 30 percent, of that 30 percent only 10-20 percent pass SEAL training which is awesome because I know when I pass BUD/S and SQT I will be with people just like me.
I have to go through college and the best thing is college is going to help me so much. My high school wrestling has paid off and got me on the wrestling team in college at 133 so I'm going to be unfucking stoppable when I get orders to BUD/S. I already envisioned my future and SEALs is written all over it.
he's gonna get beat by the instructors NO MATTER WHAT. 2nd, he has the attitude of a winner and someone who envisions succeeding, i bet he makes it. now move along sylvarius111.
oh ok. well i gain like 10-20lbs a year but im upto 156 now. i went to states and took 4th place in the 105...it sucked, i was skinny and had to lose 8lbs in a week. i had to be as heavy as possible all season and especially for conference cause i wrestled the 112 then for states coach signed me up for the 105...i ate maybe 10 bites of meat all week other than that it was all salad and workouts in sweat gear. i got sick right before way ins from dehidration. i weighed in at 103 though.
thats what everyone says..i have seen some tough sob's go in there and drop out within a week.. you would be shocked.. wrestling has little to do with anything you will be doing there.. a lot of it is freezing in water and overcoming the mental parts of it.. you might wanna look into this a little more because you have the wrong idea with the whole unstopable thing.. everyone and anyone that goes into there gets beaten and broken down physically and mentally
Listen, I know BUD/S will be the most painfully and probably the worst most hellish experience I can think of, but I know that if I keep a positive attitude, one step at a time I'm good. Wrestling has prepared me for BUD/S. Cutting 30 pounds for hyrations way below a safe body weight was fucking pain, but gaining 5 pounds of water weight every night , killing myself before every match just makes me that more dedicated. My dedication to becoming a SEAL is way more than becoming a good wrestler.
You're going to be in the smurf crew. Boat crews are arranged by height and you sound like the little scrawny napoleon type. The thing is little navy seal wannabes aren't as strong as big navy seal wannabes. So when your crew consistently loses they will be punished by instructors. Killing people is a drag anyway.
Im training for the fitness challenge in atl. It begins in 28 days. I just did 80 crappy push ups in -1 min (for real) and I would appreciate any training tips. Breaststroke is by best one and running is no problem.Just reply with tips.
They are just being nice, he is a civilian. If he (or anyone) were to actually join and go take the test in boot camp and BUD/s they would not let those fly.
i need some tips. i can run about 8-9 miles and i run about 4-6 daily say for weekends. i can do 63 sit ups in one min and i can do about 9 pullups after i try to do pushups but thats the prob. i can only get about 45 pushups so far in 2 mins and im okay at sidestroke. i do the pst everyday by myself and try to work out whatever i can but i rest on the weekends. anyone got some tips to boost the push up count cause im costantly doing them trying to prepare.
start doing some chest presses at the gym, flat bench, incline, and dumbell flys will help build up your chest and shoulders, which will help you with pushups.
keep your form perfect every push up, and if you want to make it into the seals your going to need running more than anything. get going at about 6-7 minute miles at a 10 mile straight and you will make it threw basic training. it's form and consistency, thats all you need
ha running is important but i think everything will get tested equally your not gonna get through buds only being good at running good luck on the pool competency test and o course if all you can do is run
It's 10 laps not 20. I just started preparing for the swimming last week. Right now I swim 500 yards in about 10 minutes and 40 seconds. Which is not good. But that is without training so I'm not too worried.
? it depends on how you say it. 1 lap can count as back and forth. or 1 can stanp for going up the lane, and no that dose not suck 10 min is very good ( i have been training i got around ten too :)
Yea, I thought a lap was just getting to the other side of the pool, but when I got there to test for the first time, he told me other wise, lol.
The swim totally killed me, and the run was soooo horrible because of it. I thought I was going to drown during that damn swim, lol. I need to work a lot to get where I need to be.
Anyway, I apparently don't breath when I swim, which killed my endurance, plus I did it freestyle. The Combat side stroke will save energy. I'm working on that one. ;)
He thinks he did good. He sucked ass. 40% who make the minimum req. But they don't stand a chance in bud/s. You need to excell far above and beyond the minimum. BUD/S isn't about doing the minimum. It's about pushing yourself farther than you ever thought you could. If I did as bad as this reporter I'd shoot myself instead of telling myself that I did good.
Tell me the part where I'm boasting. I'm saying if I took this test thinking I'm going to excel and did as bad as him I would kill myself. This reporter is telling himself that he did good so that he could boast about his "accomplishment" when it's really a failure. Us Americans set the standard too low. And this guy is complicit in that trend by patting himself on the back for a shitty display of his fitness.
I know at least one former SEAL that has an account on Youtube.
Anyway, he's right. You can't just do the minimum and expect to pass BUD/S. My SEAL motivator wants us to do at least double or triple the required amount before we go to BUD/S. I'm no where near that at the moment, but I have people in my class that are doing 1000 and 1500 meter swims and 3.5-5 mile runs. But then again, I think he said that he has a 100% pass rate in his class for people who go to BUD/S so far, so that's good.
seals are normal people man, who says they don't get on youtube? they're not bound to secrecy like GB are so they can say thier seals....i am in special ops to but i guess cause i just said i am means im really not right?
well, seeing as part of the SEAL mindset is not to go around and boast ore mention it, most do not even tell anyone. SEALs do not need to tell anyone or feel approval from anyone or the need to brag. So i'd most likely think you're FOS.

One thing to think about when taking the SEAL PST is the score they want you to reach is MINIMUM. My first PST sucked, but I did meet the requirements. I have been in DEP for the SWCC program for about four months now, and I have had the opportunity to train with other Spec Ops kids, AO1 Nick Martin, and even Jeff Kraus. Those dudes will motivate you to dramatically improve your scores. I've dropped my swim time by two full minutes just learning to master the combat sidestroke!

I took the SEAL PST at JRobinsons 14-day Intensive Wrestling Camp. I placed 1st in my group with a 11:30 Swim time, 104 pushups, 120 situps, and 26 pullups.
I'm going to BUD/S in 4 years and what I find is amazing is that even the people that pass this simple test which is only 30 percent, of that 30 percent only 10-20 percent pass SEAL training which is awesome because I know when I pass BUD/S and SQT I will be with people just like me.

wow arent we cockey and why are you waiting 4 years to go and have you even gotten your so contract

I have to go through college and the best thing is college is going to help me so much. My high school wrestling has paid off and got me on the wrestling team in college at 133 so I'm going to be unfucking stoppable when I get orders to BUD/S. I already envisioned my future and SEALs is written all over it.

good luck... you are gonna get beat to shit by the instructors if you go in there talking/thinking like that.

Haha no shit I'm gonna get beat by the instructors. It's gonna be fun, you gotta think POSITIVE.
freedomfighter252 2 years ago
you don't know what you're talking about son.
he's gonna get beat by the instructors NO MATTER WHAT. 2nd, he has the attitude of a winner and someone who envisions succeeding, i bet he makes it. now move along sylvarius111.

where you from man? whats 252 mean cause 252 my area haha. im going to BUD/s after college too. i wrestle too
spearo92 2 years ago
252 is my fire station number. Anyways, what weight you wrestle?
freedomfighter252 2 years ago
oh ok. well i gain like 10-20lbs a year but im upto 156 now. i went to states and took 4th place in the 105...it sucked, i was skinny and had to lose 8lbs in a week. i had to be as heavy as possible all season and especially for conference cause i wrestled the 112 then for states coach signed me up for the 105...i ate maybe 10 bites of meat all week other than that it was all salad and workouts in sweat gear. i got sick right before way ins from dehidration. i weighed in at 103 though.
spearo92 2 years ago
thats what everyone says..i have seen some tough sob's go in there and drop out within a week.. you would be shocked.. wrestling has little to do with anything you will be doing there.. a lot of it is freezing in water and overcoming the mental parts of it.. you might wanna look into this a little more because you have the wrong idea with the whole unstopable thing.. everyone and anyone that goes into there gets beaten and broken down physically and mentally

Listen, I know BUD/S will be the most painfully and probably the worst most hellish experience I can think of, but I know that if I keep a positive attitude, one step at a time I'm good. Wrestling has prepared me for BUD/S. Cutting 30 pounds for hyrations way below a safe body weight was fucking pain, but gaining 5 pounds of water weight every night , killing myself before every match just makes me that more dedicated. My dedication to becoming a SEAL is way more than becoming a good wrestler.
freedomfighter252 2 years ago
You're going to be in the smurf crew. Boat crews are arranged by height and you sound like the little scrawny napoleon type. The thing is little navy seal wannabes aren't as strong as big navy seal wannabes. So when your crew consistently loses they will be punished by instructors. Killing people is a drag anyway.

Im training for the fitness challenge in atl. It begins in 28 days. I just did 80 crappy push ups in -1 min (for real) and I would appreciate any training tips. Breaststroke is by best one and running is no problem.Just reply with tips.
WoCaoNiMadeGeBi 3 years ago
well he said "almost halfway there at 48" for situps, so obviously you have to do 100 sit ups.
50 push ups.
who knows how are far in the swim, and i'm guessing a 6 or 7 minute mile run minimum.
mayhemlee 3 years ago
500 yard swim 1.5 mile run i think 50 pushups 55 situps

They are just being nice, he is a civilian. If he (or anyone) were to actually join and go take the test in boot camp and BUD/s they would not let those fly.

i need some tips. i can run about 8-9 miles and i run about 4-6 daily say for weekends. i can do 63 sit ups in one min and i can do about 9 pullups after i try to do pushups but thats the prob. i can only get about 45 pushups so far in 2 mins and im okay at sidestroke. i do the pst everyday by myself and try to work out whatever i can but i rest on the weekends. anyone got some tips to boost the push up count cause im costantly doing them trying to prepare.
epyonsk8r 3 years ago
start doing some chest presses at the gym, flat bench, incline, and dumbell flys will help build up your chest and shoulders, which will help you with pushups.
solidsnake11 3 years ago
keep your form perfect every push up, and if you want to make it into the seals your going to need running more than anything. get going at about 6-7 minute miles at a 10 mile straight and you will make it threw basic training. it's form and consistency, thats all you need
bdynamyte 3 years ago
ha running is important but i think everything will get tested equally your not gonna get through buds only being good at running good luck on the pool competency test and o course if all you can do is run
pmoschet 3 years ago
you're gonna want to get yourself to atleast 80 pushups in the 2 minutes

Hehehehi was there and dam that swim killed me i got 20 laps 13:39 :) (i suck)
airsoftlamblover 3 years ago 2
It's 10 laps not 20. I just started preparing for the swimming last week. Right now I swim 500 yards in about 10 minutes and 40 seconds. Which is not good. But that is without training so I'm not too worried.
pokermaster54 3 years ago
? it depends on how you say it. 1 lap can count as back and forth. or 1 can stanp for going up the lane, and no that dose not suck 10 min is very good ( i have been training i got around ten too :)
airsoftlamblover 3 years ago
Yea, I thought a lap was just getting to the other side of the pool, but when I got there to test for the first time, he told me other wise, lol.
The swim totally killed me, and the run was soooo horrible because of it. I thought I was going to drown during that damn swim, lol. I need to work a lot to get where I need to be.
Anyway, I apparently don't breath when I swim, which killed my endurance, plus I did it freestyle. The Combat side stroke will save energy. I'm working on that one. ;)

He thinks he did good. He sucked ass. 40% who make the minimum req. But they don't stand a chance in bud/s. You need to excell far above and beyond the minimum. BUD/S isn't about doing the minimum. It's about pushing yourself farther than you ever thought you could. If I did as bad as this reporter I'd shoot myself instead of telling myself that I did good.
pokermaster54 3 years ago
stop boasting over a computer.
ZosoDude 3 years ago 2
Tell me the part where I'm boasting. I'm saying if I took this test thinking I'm going to excel and did as bad as him I would kill myself. This reporter is telling himself that he did good so that he could boast about his "accomplishment" when it's really a failure. Us Americans set the standard too low. And this guy is complicit in that trend by patting himself on the back for a shitty display of his fitness.
pokermaster54 3 years ago
are u a SEAL?
apatheticE5 3 years ago 2
NO. You're not going to find a SEAL posting comments on Youtube.
pokermaster54 3 years ago
you dont know that
airsoftlamblover 3 years ago
I know at least one former SEAL that has an account on Youtube.
Anyway, he's right. You can't just do the minimum and expect to pass BUD/S. My SEAL motivator wants us to do at least double or triple the required amount before we go to BUD/S. I'm no where near that at the moment, but I have people in my class that are doing 1000 and 1500 meter swims and 3.5-5 mile runs. But then again, I think he said that he has a 100% pass rate in his class for people who go to BUD/S so far, so that's good.

kingjrod12345 3 years ago
well, seeing as part of the SEAL mindset is not to go around and boast ore mention it, most do not even tell anyone. SEALs do not need to tell anyone or feel approval from anyone or the need to brag. So i'd most likely think you're FOS.
