hey /fit/, /k/ here. I'm already in the military but I'm trying to go SF once my three year minimum passes. I read your sticky. It talks a lot about getting big (eat a lot, eat well, lift high weight low reps) but reading Stew Smith, he puts a lot of emphasis on pull-ups, running, rucking, and swimming. His suggestions also seem to take up a lot of time
I can't see myself
>swimming 2-3 times a week
>running 4-5 miles a week
>rucking 2-3 times a week
>75 pull ups, 200 pushups, 200 situps, every other day (aren't situps back for you back?)
AND keeping a good weight lifting routine.
not with a job, college, and the guard.

>75 pull ups, 200 pushups, 200 situps, every other day (aren't situps back for you back?)
i would replace this stuff with weightlifting in the 10-12 rep range, that type of workout just isn't very effective

understand that I have 9 months until I'm old enough to start applying (I can delay it further if im not ready) then I have to do a guard->active transfer, do airborne school, do SOPC, then get to sfas. my pt right now is
>55 push ups
>73 situps
>14:14 two mile
a score of 252.
so I have like 1.5-2 years to get from a 252 to 300, and work on the mental stuff as well (GT score's a 135, incidentally, is there a good way practice land nav without a training environment to work with?)
Got something good for you bros.

>14:14 two mile
absolutely disgusting

>What about Diet? Do not eat rice, grain, bread, oats, pasta...
What is the thinking behind this? You need carbs!?
>>35476929
I'd just use MFP and try to eat clean senpai. Whole wheat products, along with steel cut oats, should be fine.
do 100, 8 count bodybuilders every single day and alternate between sprinting and long distance running

For real, I ran that faster than that 2 mile as a freshmen in HS on JV track. JV.
i stopped reading at tying to go SF
first of all, you are applying for SF. unless it's a joke parade you will
>swim 2-3 times a week
>run 2-3 times a week
>ruck 4 to 5 times a week
>insert shitty PT shit to make you tired routine x y or z
your stats
>55 push ups
>73 situps
>14:14 two mile
are absolutely HARAM.
this is the average from what I remember (2 years ago)
>85 to 90 push ups in 2 min
>100+ sit ups in 2 min
>sub 10 min 2 miles or you get kicked out in palcement tests for SF
you honestly shouldn't even come on /fit/ with these questions in the first place, /k/ has enough good advice in the right threads.
secondly you are not even close with your physical prowess for SF
thirdly - just by reading your entire story you do not have the correct mentality
>hurr durr I cant do all these things to prepare myself for my countries most difficult special operations unit because ive got a job and college and the guard ;_;
m8 cry me a fucking river will you, you're so fucking unfit for the SF that you shouldn't even apply and just sit/shit in your barracks and play your fucking ps3 games
fucksake mate honestly you wouldnt get fucking anywhere

Thank you. I figure get myself to a 300 apft first, then begin this.
>>35476712
Used to be a 12:50, but I got lazy. I can get it back
>>35477142
Not at all what I was trying to indicate, I needed clarification on the organization on the workout. I can spend 2 or 3 hours a day, and on some days 4 or 5, but like I said, I have the time to get to that level.
Fuck /k/ last SoF thread led to a bunch of arguing about the morality of us intervention in Afghanistan
I found out good information from this thread.
>>35475787
Don't listen to this if you are trying to get into sf. Listen to the ex seal. Forgo weightlifting for now.

Weekend warrior is not the military. Try again.
