Workout # 1 of 30
Welcome to the SEALgrinderPT Kokoro 30 day prep course. We have put together daily workouts and tips to prepare you for the Kokoro Camp at SEALFIT in Encinitas, California.

The Kokoro event is a 50 hour endurance event based on the Navy SEAL Hell Week where you will be not only pushed to your physical limit but also learned the mental conditioning to help you strive to complete this event.

So far – 95% of all BUD/S (Navy SEAL training) candidates that have gone through Kokoro have completed BUD/S. This typical drop out rate is 80% at BUD/S. You have a better chance of graduating Harvard Law school than completing BUD/S.

Using this information we have helped many athletes not only survive – but thrive at Kokoro. Get started below.
Kokoro Physical Standards Test (PST)
Be prepared for the Kokoro PST. Looks easy but many fail it.
1 mile run 9 min
2 min max pushups 50 male/40 female
2 min max sit ups 50/40
2 min max air squat 50/40
Max dead hang pull ups 10
*Be warned as we have many athletes showing up not ready for this test. All pushups will be chest to deck. If you rest your chest on deck you will stop counting. No resting with your butt poked up in the air or you will stop counting. All pull ups will be with hand fully wrapped around bar. Air squats will be with legs down to parallel. Make sure you know these standards as many athletes show up with chicken bob pushups and half squats and scratch their heads when told to stop counting. Be prepared know the standards.
