THE DEFINITIVE SPEC OPS RESOURCE FOR FITNESS AND SELECTION

Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 8, Day 1

By Steve Balestrieri | May 13, 2018 Fitness, Physical Fitness, Preparing for Selection, Rucking, SOF, SpecOps, US SOCOM

Time for our Sunday morning ruck march. Do a quick warmup of pushups and sit-ups before heading out. Stretch well both before and after the event. Remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated out there.

Today would a great time to wear your second pair of boots for the Selection Course. Don’t wait until then to get another pair broken in. Check for hot spots and blisters, by the time the Selection course rolls around, you’ll be an expert at this and shouldn’t have as many issues in that area.

Training:

Warm up

2 x 20 Pushups

2 x 20 Sit-ups

6-mile Rucksack march over varied terrain with a 45-pound minimum. And mark your times in your workout log book.  The standard is 90 minutes, you should be looking to better that.

Stretch well after completion
