TFR 86 Ideal Size for BUDS

[@angellima7893]

Basically, be strong and enduring for your height and body weight. Also be at an optimal body fat that athletes perform at, which would be 10-15%. Would you guys base optimal weight based on the BMI scale though? I’m 5’8 weighing in at 160 at 10% body fat. PST Scores: 09:00 swim, 90 Push ups, 90 Sit Ups , 21 pull ups and an 08:30 run. I’m lifting 2-3 days a week just maintain strength.

What about 5’10 152lbs wrestler? I’m strong in weightroom and have great endurance.... after season is over I can put on weight

[@StewSmith182]

what about it? There are plenty of people this size to make it through BUDS and fail BUDS. Did you see our Wrestler Prepares for BUDS podcast?

[@iTzRELOADzzHD]

Stew Smith Yes I watched it all. Just want season to end so I can get to 170/180

[@btjackson7741]

You mentioned your weights in the video--190-95 (Stew) and 250 (Jeff), and you both made it through at those weights. To get an idea what builds for two successful BUD/S graduates these weights translate into, what are your heights?

[@StewSmith182]

I made it thru at 195 - Jeff was also 195 -200 when going through BUDS.

Are there any performance markers aside from the PST that you would recommend to gauge preparedness? Such as be able to tread for x amount of time with weight, hold x amount overhead, etc?

[@iTzRELOADzzHD]

John Get Strong legs and back. Tree trunk legs are the best

[@StewSmith182]

Good question: I would say 10 min tread no hands, 3 min overhead static hold 45-50# - multiple sets. Did you see the podcast on the TFR 33 - Scores for HellWeek Success? See those for more ideas.

Stew Smith thanks. I missed it somehow. Will check it out.
