Training For Special Forces Selection | Green Beret

[HAMMERTIMEBB]

This is what I'll need to do for the next 3 years as a Marine

Or just get in shape, be in shape, then figure out how to care for your feet and mind while carrying the 45 pound tic on your back for long distances. I went through selection in 2004 with studs that smoked a pack a day. Man up, if you want it go do it, too easy.

I was training for cal fire ccc for a little bit and I would ruckmarch one day and not next but a day later would do it again. 4 miles is all i did but I would do basic workouts everyday such as push ups and sit ups. Endurance training is what I was going for. I now work 12 to 16 hour days doing construction and only get one 30 minute break. I carry tools all day, shovel, and lift over 100lb pipes by myself. I want to go air force as a pj but used to want to be a green beret as a 18d. Hopefully I’ll do it soon but I have to replace my teeth. I would think endurance training is a must. I always liked CrossFit style workouts.

Just carry your ruck everywhere you go from wake up to bedtime

Hey, Jon! Quick question about the Friday ruck. When you say you would incorporate running every 6 weeks or so to test rucking ability, what exactly would that look like?

[direktorsvemira]

What about going in to the wilderness running and trying to survive 1 week with a knife only? And do you learn how to make a fire without a lighter but with stick in special forces ?

I currently follow a tactical barbell plan, Where Monday and Thursday is calisthenics, Tuesday and Wednesday is a long steady state run, Friday active recovery and Saturday is a ruck. After 6 weeks, I’ll trade out the calisthenics for strength training and the steady runs for sprints, for 3 weeks. Does that sound like a good way to prep for SFAS? Or do you think your program would be more ideal?

[bigbuddyofficial]

How did most you guys train once you were actually in, and an active-duty operator?

[ryanhover]

Do you ever have to swim as a green beret? Like be in the ocean because I’m afraid of sharks.

[zaria]

Hey man, this is a dumb question, but when doing the sets of the exercises on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, should I be going to failure on every set or just the last one?
Thanks in advance!

Do u know anyone from 19th group? Specifically in Texas, would love to know about what the work schedule is like since its one of the reserve units.

On monday what do you mean by "it would be tested by the 5 mile run"

[prodigy]

On Monday with the repeats, do I take rests with every repeat or do I take no breaks, and how many mins for each break?

[sanchezjames]

❓️ how much time would you recommend on training prior to selection I barely have any.

[mauriciocastillo]

What if you have 3 months till the Q??

[my_graphics]

I would rather play counter-strike on a comfortable couch with a KFC Chicken Bucket, a couple of hotdogs and some mac n cheese beside me.

[ryanl]

He said this is how he would do. Not generally. Sheesh all these pogs and civies on here want to post their own path, yet GBs pass rate remains what it is. Smh

Surely this cant be healthy on your joints, tendons and ligaments in the long run??
