6 Tips To NEVER GET INJURED During Special Forces Training

[@SOFPrepCoach]

What are you doing to avoid injury?

[@SMM_NAA]

Hearing that last part about shin splints being an opportunity to do bicycling or swimming is huge. I always fall into the trap of just stopping running but that's not necessary at all.

[@diomedes39]

When my ankle acts up too much I swim for a week or two. My ankle feels best when I run 2x per week and swim 1-2. I need to get back to lifting though. I only lifted for years so cardio is my weak point.

[@EnclavePropagandist]

Ensure you’re proper nutrition and rest. Work on mobility training for leg as well. I’ve had shin splints for 4 months and took a two month hiatus from running. Went back into running and the injury came back. Come to find out that I was deficient in vitamin d, and started taking supplements. In less than a month, my shin pain was non existent.

I actually like how this channel gives simple yet good advices and not some BS grind all day type of advices. And the injury part, 4 years ago when I started to run, I ran in terrain 3 days in a row like an idiot with intensity and the 3rd day I strained my left hamstring, couldn’t run for like 2 months… also had smaller problems with tendinitis in elbow, knee and shoulder but by not ignoring them and being smart I’ve taken care of them and they are long gone.

[@badass_seabass]

I keep training and getting small to medium injuries. I was blaming shoes, flat feet, etc... recently I injured my right shoulder and left knee. I kept training on them, and they get worse right before I recover.. whta should I do? it seems everything involves them. Today I trained only left arm movements and right knee movements, that's the best I can come up with until I'm better.

[@LYRCLPHYZCL]

After I finish a long run or doing sprint intervals, should I do weighted tib raises(with a kettlebell) to help strengthen the shins and prevent injury? Or should I do it during a weightlifting day?

[@EnclavePropagandist]

Focus on mobility training and proper nutrition. Tib raises are good for strengthening, however your cadence and mileage is one of the main reasons for shin splints. Progress at a steady state and ensure you’re not deficient in any vitamins involving bone and muscle.

[@moelester2937]

I got one that isn't talked about a lot. If you've taken a serious break from the gym (2+ months for whatever reason), don't full send it into full failure sets right away. You will be SOOORE. I did this to my shoulders and pecs I had to skip the next push day because of it. Like, it was a challenge to put a shirt on. Guess what my stupid ass did 3 days ago for some reason? I hit my adductors for the first time since May till failure and heavy. Guess what my stupid ass has now? Adductor strain. It's uncomfortable to exist and I walk like i shat my pants.

[@holdenhackney9586]

Could you elaborate on “not stretching your hamstrings” because it can make lower back pain worse? How much hamstring stretching is good/is there a time to stretch hams and a time not to?

[@holdenhackney9586]

Thank you for your time and your videos!

[@SOFPrepCoach]

Yes, I am saying this in the context of people with lower back pain. Often times those with lower back pain will have anterior pelvic tilt (which causes the hamstrings to be in a stretched position and feel tight). In that case, loosening the hamstrings more will allow your tight hip flexors to pull you into a deeper anterior pelvic tilt causing more problems Often with lower back pain you'll feel tight hamstrings, but the real problem is thethe hip flexors or glutes

Any advice for training to do well under sleep dep? I was so fried when i was deprived of sleep

Guys, do you have any tips for overcoming fear of heights? I want to be in sof in my country but I need to overcome it first

[@nippleman7215]

The only way is to just do them, go do things like high altitude parcours and climbing and stuff. This way you can show yourself that you can do them and you will have more confidence in yhe future

[@ettahadpanto3363]

Great video

[@sqwerglywhergaly5582]

Currently training to crush the PST, I am running a 11:30 1.5 mile. How would I go about getting faster? My weekly mileage is about 7 miles right now... thank you for the information in your videos. I know they're mostly tailored to aspiring Army guys but you go in depth on aspects of preparation that are important for everyone.

[@nicky2times2times10]

Is there any way to get any extra info on Land Nav? I don't mean how much or how long at selection, but maybe some sites or places or even people that could help with doing land navigation? I bought a compass, but finding topographic maps for anywhere where I live is becoming a real challenge. I would appreciate any advice.

Where are you from?

[@advancedmicrosystems4658]

That is strange, normally you should find topo maps with 1:25k and 1:50k easily on your governments website etc. At least its like that in Europe.

[@ОгњенМилошевић-ь5к]

Are you sure about pull-push ratio? You say for every push one should do 2 pulls?

[@SOFPrepCoach]

I mean more pulling than pushing sets. So if you’re doing 15 pushing then make sure you’re doing 15 or more. It’s easy for these to get out of balance if you’re heavily emphasizing push ups

[@ОгњенМилошевић-ь5к]

@@SOFPrepCoach In calisthenics we usually do 1:2 pull ups push ups. That is a balance because push ups are easier.

[@thatbf1nub692]

He’s referring to the number of sets not the number of reps. Of course doing more total pull up reps than push-ups makes no sense.

[@ОгњенМилошевић-ь5к]

@@thatbf1nub692 yeah make sense, I missed word "set"

[@joshKozak]

I’m gonna break myself anyway. Thanks anyways guys. 🫶🏽
