Most athletes skip this. That’s why they stay average. If you want to train like a warrior—and perform like one—you need to master the Pre-SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). This isn’t just a warm-up. This is how you flip the switch from civilian mode to operator mindset. I’ve trained at SEALFIT Headquartes in Encinitas since 2010... Read More

The pull-up is one of the most respected tests of upper body strength. It looks simple—grab the bar and pull—but in reality, it demands strength, control, and discipline across your entire body. Your back, arms, shoulders, grip, and core all have to work together. That’s why for many beginners, the first pull-up feels impossible. But... Read More

Most guys getting ready for BUD/S ask the same question: “Should I be running in boots?” It sounds hardcore. It feels like the right move. After all, you know you’ll be running in boots in training—so why not start now? Here’s the reality—this is where a lot of candidates screw up. If you click on... Read More

Preparing for Navy SEAL training isn’t about being tough—it’s about becoming unbreakable. BUD/S is designed to expose every weakness you have, physically and mentally, and then push you far beyond what you thought was possible. The cold, the miles, the sand, the stress, the constant pressure to perform—none of it cares how strong you think... Read More

When people talk about the toughest warriors in the U.S. military, two names always rise to the top: Air Force Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) and Navy SEALs. Both communities operate in extreme environments, both train far beyond conventional standards, and both are built around a culture of quiet professionalism. But their missions, training pipelines, and day‑to‑day... Read More

Start Here: What BUD/S Really Is Before anything else—understand the mission. BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training) is a 6-month selection pipeline designed to answer one question: Will you quit? It is broken into three phases: First Phase – Physical Conditioning (where most quit) Second Phase – Combat Diving Third Phase – Land Warfare This is... Read More

What do Navy SEALs do when the mission is done, gear is cleaned, and it’s time to unwind? They don’t just sit around. They compete. They train the mind. They stay sharp. Video games—especially tactical shooters—can build decision-making, reaction time, teamwork, and stress control. No, it’s not real combat. But the right games can sharpen... Read More

Formed in 1977, “Delta Force” is the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) in the US Army. Its primary focus is on counter-terrorism and the capture of high-value units (e.g. high-ranking ISIS members). The current official name for the SOF team is the Army Compartmented Elements—or, “ACE”. In this awesome video, John “Shrek” McPhee (the... Read More

If you’re asking how to prepare for BUD/S, you’re already behind. That’s the truth. Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) is not a fitness program. It’s a selection process designed to expose weakness—physical, mental, and emotional. The instructors are not there to train you. They are there to see if you break. And most do. Attrition rates...

Just got this question the other day. Coach; I am fatigued from several weeks of training. Do I need a “deload week”? A deload week in fitness refers to a planned period of reduced training intensity and volume. It is typically implemented after a period of intense training to provide the body with a chance...
