However, there is a segment of the spec ops training population that recommends reversing that combination. I am more "old school" and believe in doing a calisthenics, longer-running and swimming-based program that is supplemented with weights and full-body exercises like Olympic lifts and athletic movements. This is where the community differs a bit. Some stronger athletes should focus more on endurance and drop the weights while they train for the fitness tests to get into training. Some endurance athletes need to add in strength training with weights and calisthenics.
How do you get there? It depends on your athletic history. SEALs typically get more muscle mass and get stronger, but they still maintain a solid cardiovascular training program to perform their job better. Now you can focus on strength building and joint mobility while decreasing the impact of miles and miles of running by 50% or more.
No longer do you have to train like a triathlete, as you did pre-BUD/S. Once operational, the fitness demands change quite a bit. Having a strong foundation of strength training is helpful when carrying logs, boats and teammates through challenging events as well. Muscle stamina also is key for the high repetitions of exercises done in a single day - after day, after day. The BUD/S student must be in peak cardiovascular conditioning for the daily miles of running, swimming and other endurance races. The thing most people have to realize is that the fitness requirements for Navy SEAL Training (BUD/S - Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) is completely different from being an active-duty operating SEAL team member.
