GET YOUR BODY IN SHAPE FOR BUD/S WITH THE NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE PHYSICAL TRAINING GUIDE
The Naval Special Warfare Physical Training Guide (PTG) is a tailored 26 week training program designed specifically to help you develop the strength and endurance to withstand the rigors of Basic Crewman Selection (BCS) or SEAL Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) and the Navy SEAL or SWCC Physical Screening Test (PST). The PTG was created by the Naval Special Warfare Center and the Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School.
he Naval Special Warfare Physical Training Guide is designed to assist anyone who wants to improve fitness in order to take and pass the Physical Screening Test (PST) and succeed at Basic Crewman Selection (BCS) or Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S).
This PTG provides information about the type of training required to properly prepare for the rigors of BCS or BUD/S, and it offers a training template that will help a person with average fitness train effectively and minimize the risk of injury. A 26-week example is provided, but the template can be modified to suit individual needs and extended indefinitely.
Most of your cardiovascular exercise should focus on running and swimming. Resistance training targeting the whole body should be performed to develop the optimal muscular strength and endurance to resist injury and succeed at BCS or BUD/S. Specific emphasis on push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups will be necessary to achieve the required standards for the PST. Cross-training such as cycling, rowing, or hiking will complement and supplement your basic training. Work to achieve balanced fitness, with the optimal combination of endurance, strength, mobility, and flexibility. Work to improve your unsatisfactory qualities, and don’t just focus on the things you’re good at.
