Navy SEAL and Special Forces Workouts

The following workout can be used to prepare recruits for the rigors of some of the toughest military training in the world. It combines pull ups, push ups, and sit ups using a pyramid style workout. Perform 1 pull up, 2 push ups and 5 sit ups then work your way up the pyramid times 2,3,4 and so on as high as you can go to failure. For example if you get to 9 then you would perform 9 pull ups 18 push ups and 45 sit ups. Once failure is reached perform the same 9, 18, 45 again using negatives or assisted pull ups if needed then work your way down to 1. Remember not to take any rest while performing this workout. Good luck. Note your weekly progess. Let me know how it works for you.

You're a beast man. I would be dead after 5 minutes right now. Even in my best shape in high school I could probably last 10-15 MAX. Intense workout. I hope to get this fit in time. Thanks for posting.

@WittofMV Thanks man. Give the workout a try and keep track of your progress. Each week you should be able to get more reps in. I actually look forward to this workout. Good luck!

@tabkitchen1983 Thanks bro! The hardest part about my video was talking while performing the workout. Your workout was impressive too! I'm gonna give the upper body workout you suggested a try in a day or so.

Thank you so much for being on seal team 6 and for killing osama!!!! You guys rock! I am high school senior just graduating and hoping to be a seal to! My recruiter says I am definitely strong enough and that I will graduate from buds no problem he garantees it. See you soon when I get on the "teams"!!!!!

If you want the most out of your workouts, when using your own body weight, you should use full range of motion. When doing push ups, push all the way up until your elbows are locked out. When doing pull ups, lower yourself until your arms are straight then make sure your chin goes above the bar. You will get a lot more out of your workouts in a shorter period of time.

no thank you, i work recreation and programs at a youth correctional facility and im always trying to find new challenges for the young kids to do and this looks like a great challenge that can be turned into a positive out look.
