Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 10, Day 3

So, a good way to begin Tuesday is head to the gym for Leg Day. This is a very important day in our preparation training as it builds up that lower body and core strength that will be so important in the Selection course and beyond.  Begin with pull-ups and a rope climb if you have access to climbing ropes. Then squats, lunges, deadlifts and the sled followed by a three-mile run.

Building up the legs will definitely help to tote that rucksack.
