Navy SEAL Pyramid Workouts

The pyramid style workouts are a staple of any Navy SEAL training at BUD/S or overseas on deployment.

Simple but extremely effective.

WORKOUT #1

This is one hardcore workout.

• Do one 8 count bodybuilder pushup
• Run 20m to a pull-up bar and do 1 pull-up
• Run back to the area where you do the 8 counts and then do two 8 count bodybuilder pushups
• Run back to pull-up bar and do 2 pull-ups
• Keep cycle of 8 counts, short runs, pull-ups until you fail at pull-ups—then repeat in reverse order

I like to combine 2-3 of these workouts. Another way you can test yourself is to do each one for time and try them again later to see how you score.
