Gonna give this a try I’ll update with results in 14 days

Sir, why the total volume is max reps x5 for pullup and x4 for pushup? And if i want to do this for squat, i assume total volume is my max x4?

I can do like 150 with rest throughout the day but i cant do more than 30 pushups with good form smh.

Great videos stew what is the best way to get faster at swimming and running?

Great videos stew what is the best way to get my swim speed up?

Saw that show, years ago

Slippery 😂

Everytime I throw the ball, my technique is off and it ends up rolling out of my hand mid throw and goes either right or left and loses distances

Glad to hear you have something for all us 50+ athletes who are still going at it and giving the kids a run for their money!

Please yes to the underwater footage. 🙏🏽 34:54

Hey there! I loved your video on improving pull-ups and push-ups - it was really best in KZbin ! I’ve recently started running and would love some advice on how to improve my pace. Right now, I can complete a 1-mile run in around 9 minutes. I recently did 10 reps of 180 meters with an average time of around 47 seconds per rep which is around 7 minutes ( my goal pace) but i couldn't hold that speed for full mile . My current goals are to hit 300 meters in 50 seconds and get my 1-mile time under 7 minutes. I’m also working toward doing 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, and 4 chin-ups as part of my current fitness goal. I’m comfortable with push-ups and sit-ups, but chin-ups are a challenge, especially with the controlled 3-4 second hold at the top and bottom. Without pauses, I can manage around 7-8 reps, but the slow tempo is tough! Any tips on improving my speed for 300 meters , chin ups and 1 mile would be really appreciated. Thanks so much!

I know these are old and geared for special ops. I’ve never been in the military. But I get up every Morning at 4 am and workout in my garage gym. Just recently found you guys. I have THIS playing when I go at it. You all keep me going. Bad ass !!!!

Wow I've always thought Mr Ballen was sexy as he always is in his usual attire but wooowwwww he's even sexier here. ❤

How about grinder pt in bud/s

Peachy!

Been following you since 2013 when I first joined the service! Keep kicking ass Mr. Smith!

I just added a TRX and waiting on your TRX book to arrive. Can't wait to dig in!

Beside trx workouts or any workout, instructors spray trainees and make them do hundreds and even thousands of pushups ,sit-ups, flutter kicks and dive bombers(and more). What’s the real purpose?

I got into the suspension trainer in Afghanistan. Have used it for 15 years.

Make a video on how to train for pj Indoc

I went form 16 to 21 Pullups.

For the kick, is it better to do a breaststroke kick where you're kicking with both legs at the same time? Or better to do a scissor-type kick? Or dolphin kick with both feet together?

So, how do I keep my focus when I'm trying to run 3 miles. I now lose focus around the 1/4 mile mark

Hey stew im going to the coast guard trying to become a rescue swimmer my first ever 500m swim was 8:07 and i did that yesterday im better on land but I don't wanna kill people

It's been a while, Stew. As you know, I learned this stroke from reading The Complete Guide To Navy SEAL Fitness back in 2000. I've been laid-up out the water doing therapy to heal the iliocus & psoas muscles to get back to the water. I keep on studying these videos to get ready.

Gold. Absolute gold, Jeff is the real deal! So is Stew.

Maybe already assumed, but I'll also add Recovery in it cause Recovery is often forgotten by most folks, including myself. Excellent list overall, much appreciated Stew!

Flexibility and Mobility Cardio Endurance Muscular Stamina Power Balance and Coordination Stability But then I'm 80+ yo.

Hey Stew, which program would you recommend for the current PJ requirements? Does your air-force special warfare book encompass what needs to be done? Thank you sir

Email us. Customer service isn’t handled on KZbin direct messages. You should’ve received an email from us if you put your email in correctly.

I just ordered the E-book so I didn't have to wait for shipping. I ship for basic February 5th, so I only have 18 weeks to qual for SWCC. I received an order confirmation and it says it's complete, but I havent actually gotten the PDF yet 😅😢 hopefully tomorrow morning?

MINE!

Hey stew! First off thank you for your knowledge and willingness to share, with that being said I have heard you and Jeff talk about adding weight training to prepare for BUDs. I’m a bit confused as I’ve been using your SEAL fitness book and haven’t seen much on weights, is that something Incorporate into my routine and how would I do so? It seems I’m not supposed to be doing any weight training with the 12 weeks to buds program so I’m a bit confused. Thank you for your time!

I set a goal to run 5 miles in 35 minutes by the end of this year so I’ve been training a lot and this information helps. I used to go super hard on all my runs but I found out about easy runs and ever since I started doing them I’ve been getting much better results.

For me the hardest part of this program is the 3 days rest 😅

Didn't realize for quite some time I was doing the elementary ss

Can I do push ups and pull ups both for 10 days ?

Stu how about a 25 meter pool? Thank you

Hi stew, I feel like I've been struggling with getting across the pool with minimum strokes and I think it's my kick but when I watch other people it seems the kick doesn't really propel them? Is it suppose to or is it more arms than legs?

Just found this forum. Very happy to say at the age of 69,that list is easy.

Thanks Stew!!

Good stuff

Should you rotate onto your belly with fins? I feel like top arm pull would be better but I also feel like the majority of the work is with fins (which is why LATA is often just as fast) so rotation to get a better pull isn't necessarily that important. It just feels a little more natural on the top pull to rotate the body. Are both correct or should you be exclusively on your side with CSS like LATA?

@StewSmith182 at some point can you post (or link to) a longer video of CSS with fins showing good technique. Also, aside from strength building and (I believe you said moving with current) does anyone scissor with fins or just flutter?
