I had the pleasure to host SOFREP’s Question and Answer session on Sunday afternoon where our readers posted in the “Team Room” and I was their sounding board. I just want to thank everyone for the fun back and forth session and hope that we can do it again sometime soon. We got some good […]
Back to the gym today, working our back and shoulders followed by a shuttle run and a swim in fatigues and boots. Remember to stretch really well before and after your workout and drink plenty of water. I know that we harp on that a lot but it is the truth. So, we’ll deal with […]
Tuesday is a leg day at the gym. These exercises build strength and explosion in your lower body and you’ll need both in Selection. These leg workouts will also help your times with both running and in carrying a rucksack. We’ll mix in some squats, front squats and goblet squats, around the sled push and […]
After the rucksack march of Sunday, we go back to the gym with some prep for the Upper Body Round Robin (UBRR) followed by a 3-mile run. Set the pace for as fast you can and try to better the standard and your last run. When doing the pushups, don’t worry about speed so much […]
Time for our Sunday morning rucksack march, we’ll warm up with quick exercises and a stretch and then hit the trail for a 5-mile march over varied or uneven terrain. Make sure that ruck fits correctly and the same for your boots and socks. You can reference some of our earlier pieces for any information […]
Saturday we’ll hit the legs in the gym and then hit the trail for a three-mile run over uneven terrain.

We’ve talked about the whole “Grey Man” thing in the past and in certain situations yes you should endeavor to blend into your surroundings and become the grey man, but as far as Selection, I’m sticking by my earlier observations and say that it isn’t a smart thing to do. I’ve gotten questions and emails […]
We’re going to do a smoker this morning of pushups, sit-ups, and crunches that you can either do at the gym or on the ground and then head back out on the rucking trails. Let’s pump these out as quickly as possible, understanding that there isn’t a time limit but to build up your endurance. […]
Back to the gym today, with our Wednesday work out and then practice our shuttle run to build up some explosion and lateral quickness in your legs. It will improve your overall running times. Try to limit the time between sets to 30 seconds or less. Training: More Preparation for the UBRR: 3 x 12 Lat Pull […]
