Olympic Runner Attempts the Navy Seal Screening Test

Just passed my first PST: swim 9:08, push up 85, sit-up 73, pull up 21, run 10:23. Putting that run at the end is no joke and is the reason I failed my others. Crazy to see a 38 year old crush it like that.

I never understood how the Navy could do their situps that way. It always looked painful. Then again, I can't swim sooo yeah lol

8:36 Austen, I don't know about others but I'm from India and I want to join the SWAT equivalent of our country. You've inspired me and it's nice to see an Olympic runner doing less push-ups than me. Thank you Austen and I definitely look forward to join the armed police. Also, since for a couple of jobs there's no physical fitness test (just the medical fitness test), I was doing the Navy SEALS PST. Now that I've applied for a job that has its own PFT, I can focus on that PFT. Thanks once again.

[@anthonycahalanfitness1580]

My best PST scores to obtain my candidate contract were: 7:50 500 yard swim 85 push ups 92 sit ups 16 pull ups 8:20 1.5 mile run

That’s insane! You ever thought of doing one of those Ironman races? Those are intense. I’ve done one triathlon and I was dying at the end and I’m a runner.

[@budgetghostbusters2567]

How did you get your swim time so low? My 500 yard breaststroke is 9:40 and I've been training for months. I still have 2 to 5 months before I ship, but for USMC Recon right now I have: 9:40 swim 50 pushups 60 situps 9 pullups 10 minute 1.5 mile Obviously these will be much better before I ship lol

[@arnoldkellner2173]

The exercises remind me of Basic Combat Training at Fort Dix, 10-14-68/10-14-70. I was a red cross water safety instructor before enlisting so the swim would have been easy.The run looked fun but we had to run in full field gear and combat boots ,Combat Engineer Demolition Spec 5.

Watching it as a swimmer is kinda fun

[@kylejohnson4073]

I’m a swimmer so all these would be pretty easy I can do pull ups and push ups and everything else the running would be the hardest but I got 7:58 for my mile so I think I would probably be fine

[@luke_222]

10:30 for 1.5 miles is 7 min pace per mile. If your best mile is 7:58 right now the running part would be nearly impossible considering all these are in a row without much rest.

[@kylejohnson4073]

Yeah but I still have 6 years to gain faster speed because I am 12 so I would probably enter the military at 18 and everybody knows teenagers are faster then kids unless it is the fastest kid in the world or something

I'm confused. When the olympic swimmer did the test it was 500 yards of swimming in 12.30min. This time it was 500 METERS of swimming in 12.30. But 500 yards = 457.2 meters. So was there some mistake, did they performe different swims or have I missed something?

This test is not only for seal, this is all NSW jobs, seal, SWCC, EOD, diver, AIRR. The “ term” navy seal gets tossed around too much.

[@victoriajuarez5771]

[@xtna3371]

I am nick symmonds biggest fan!!!! I run a lot though

[@amazingjoe3635]

So do you have to have competetive scores to be considered for navy seals or do the base scores count aswell? Also what are the competitive scores I'd like to try this out at some point.

[@SpyderRacing]

It depends on your region and where you test out your PST from. Different regions in the US are more competitive. To make it out of BUDs prep after boot camp you have to do 1000m swim with fins (forget the time) 70 push ups and 60 sit ups(I think), 10 pull ups, can't remember it's been so long. You also have to do a 4 mile run in 31 minutes. It's like a PST on steroids. Not sure if they still do this though, this was in 2013.

[@amazingjoe3635]

@@SpyderRacing thanks. Better info than nothing I need to do a lot more running for stamina and I also need to build strength. I'll be 17 in 8 days and wanna start working out don't have a gym membership so it's just gonna be calisthenics for the next 2 years

[@SpyderRacing]

@@amazingjoe3635 That's all you need, calisthenics and a 35 to 50 lbs sandbag. Pushups, situps, pull ups, lunges, squats, overhead press + running will get you 90% of the way there. Also need access to a pool. Id shoot for 80 push ups, 80 sit ups, 8:30 on the swim, 8:50 on the run, 20 pull ups. And for a 4 mile I would shoot for 28 minutes.

[@amazingjoe3635]

@@SpyderRacing yeah but I got a long way to go thanks for the info. I just need to get a schedule worked out and find a way to get weight included. Weights aren't really cheap I'll look into a sand bag as I see it being a lot cheaper and easier to work with. As for pool there's a city pool here that I could use or the lake I need to find a job but every place where I live either gives very few work hours or is just terrible to work at. I'll find a place though I might apply to one store tomorrow and see what happens

[@SpyderRacing]

@@amazingjoe3635 All you need for a sandbag is a trashbag, ducktape and sand. If you can find free sand/dirt somewhere just fill the bag up till it's at the weight you want and wrap the whole thing in ducktape(Shape is like a rectangle). That's how they're made in the military anyways, though in buds you won't be using sandbags, you'll be using a log.

Decent swim, the combat stroke would probably give him better results on the push-ups Surprised me on the pull-ups. Thought he’d bust out an 8 min run but I guess he had the “F” it moment while running :). He’s enjoying retirement. He broke 4 minutes in the Mile, that’s crazy. Kudos man on that achievement.
