Zeeshan, if you are going to rest then clearly you are not at par with the minimum endurance needed for SEALFit.

Okay I made that up.

1400 Pacific

Atomic isolation of airsquats: 87 in 2 minutes
Target : 120

Notes: Knocked off. Intense burning of vastus medialis (VMO). Had to abort epsom salt balt as bent knee in bathtub exacerbated it. Counterintuitive. Left bath and straightened knee to heal. It went away soon. This makes me ask, what to do when experiencing a muscle…[Read more]

Tom, I am trying to solidify my PST baseline. So this is to establish a foundation for PST. I think the minimum requirement for PST is:

Push ups in 2 min
Air squats in 2 min.
Sit ups in 2 min.
Pull ups in one effort on the bar. ( if you come off the bar, your done)
1 mile run time in boots and BDU pants if you can.

I have been meaning to ask this for a long time, but can you die of tachycardia?

This was one of the reasons why I tapped out of Kokoro after an hour, where my heart was beating so fast, I felt I would explode. And I didn’t want to die farther from my family climbing a hill. So was it really mental or was there some legitimate concern as to…[Read more]

My 2 cents:

It is much better to be motivated by the carrot of pursuit of excellence than to the stick of self-abusive ‘nothing is good enough mentality’. I understand SEAL creed is “The only easy day was yesterday” yet at the same time our men and women in uniform takes great pride in doing their duties.

Constantly setting up to for failure is…[Read more]

Airsquats: 77

Notes: Isolated airsquats only. Trying to capitalize on the strength. Tried to crank out as many as I can in 2 minutes. This simple minimalist Spartan 2-minute workout felt like WOD. Used coffee and high intensity music to cheat. My overall target is to evolve to 100. Feel less s***y than previous one where I felt like trying to do…[Read more]

Hello,

What ideas can you think of that forces you to embrace the suck and get out of comfort zone? Can be physical or non-physical.

Here are some I thought of:

-getting a job
-cleaning dirty restroom

-overcoming fear of heights (skydiving, bungee…[Read more]

  Get up early – an hour before you normally would, take a cold shower – best mode, and don’t forget to drink a glass of water. For me, the cold shower is the major such. Followed closely by the fact that I am up by 4:30 and in the shower by 4:45.

Same question as Oscar: are rests allowed? (High plank for push ups etc.)
