Not correct, most guys in SOF are MUCH bigger and stronger than you think while also maintaining speed and endurance. Balance is the key

[@rogerhuston8287]

My roommate in college went Seals, I went to USNA. They wanted more Cross Country types, less linebacker types. Of course you will build muscle, but endurance is a much more important skill than bust speed. You don't want people tiring out after a few meters. That is who they are looking to recruit as they stand the best chance of getting through the physical requirements of the job.

Spot on actually, My brother was in the 23rd SAS back in the 80s just post the famous Iranian Embassy siege and out of his Intake of around 100 only around 5 made It He's 5 9inches and was easily less than 75kg and wiry You wouldn't look twice at him If you passed him in the street But boy could he run, for hours and climb, jump just keep going whatever Great swimmer too And he was mentally tough as phuq, I was shit scared of him most of my adult life though I'm 6 1inches and 20 KG heavier because I've never known anyone with such what I called 'focused intent' The ability to block out all his emotions in an instant and transform into just pure focused controlled aggression I've seen him do this only a few times in my life because I was just a kid, he's 10 years older but seriously, you don't want to look into the eyes of of a person like this when they go into the zone , It's brutal that's all I can say Best thing for me was though when he used to come home from exercises he's give me his emergency rations which had little packs of rolo chocolates which I loved and super saccharin glucose tablets He couldn't disclose much about what he was up to but he did tell me a story once about some kind of interrogation training and sleep deprivation training they had to do which from what I can remember involved being tied up and standing upright against a wall for 48 -72 hrs whilst rotting putrid carcasses of large animals were left in the room with you Yuk

@@Arora4926 2:50 is far from "around 2 minutes". And it is not very fast - for a dedicated male runner. It corresponds with 6:18 mile run - aerobic ability-wise. For the men and especially women of their built and weight, though, it is fairly respectable. For comparison: in French Foreign Legion fitness test corresponding time on 2,400 meters run would be around 9:50, and it scores 16 out of 20 - not quite enough for the highest level.
