Questions from our readers:
Question: Coach, how can you have a 20 minute SEAL workout? Yes; you can do a shorter version in 20 min and you can always add a 5k run at the end to make it longer.
Question: How did the “No Excuses” workout come about? It is based on the navy seal daily workout routine that we did at BUDS.
Question: Brad,
How do you recommend working pull ups into the 20 minute (takes me about 40 with the warmup)workout? A pyramid after or on another day? Or sticking multiple sets of 5 or 10 into the routine (I’m trying to incorporate a volume of 100 or so pull ups into the 20 minute workout. Love the simplicity and challenge of it-like you said “no excuse” workout.
Thanks for your help,
Foster
P.S. I’ve purchased the pull-up and frogman workouts from you. Lost the pull up one off my phone. Could you send me another? If not I understand-it’s on me.
Answer: Just remove one or two of the other exercises and add in sets of 5 pull-ups.
