Navy Seal workout

[iceberg]

I am starting a new workout that is very different from what I have done in the past. It is kind of a modified Navy Seal workout:

warm up
20 min of stretching (big change)

30 minutes of push ups, pull ups, abs, leg exercises (basically every exercise that you can think of without using weights)

30 minutes of weight training
pick 2 exercises per major bodygroup, 1 for minor
do one set to failure(6-8 reps) and one set lighter weight (4-2-4 tempo)

15-20 minutes of cardio


I am hoping to get more solid and maybe a little more definition. I am also starting a B+ grade diet (a little cheating)

Has anyone experimented with this type of workout?

I will keep you posted.

I say modify because I am leaving out a couple of goofy exercises that would get me some strange looks at the gym, plus I am not following the strict running and swimming regiment that thy recommend.

I just thought that I would try something very different.

I will keep everyone posted on how effective it is for me.
By the way I am currently not using any AS and have not for 10 months. I will probably start another cycle in a couple of months.

I did that type of work out twice a day when I was in the Marines and going through Parris Island....once in the morning and once in the afternoon. I was 18 at the time it packed on about 20 pounds of muscle. The running would be great to keep in just for the fact that it will help with the legs and heart...we did it with a full pack on our back at times. The swimming will help with any lower back pain that may develope...so if any of these exercises start cause back pain, add the swimming back in there!

Ice....what part of Florida are you in? I see your a Gator fan...are you in the G-ville area?

I live in Lakeland. I guess that I am a huge Gator fan, partly because I got both my under graduate and graduate degrees there.

I never would have thought that I would gain weight doing this type of cardio training, but I hope it happens.

ive never heard of anyone packing on 20 pouinds of muscle from boot camp.
If youre doing this total body workout twice a day youre not gonna gain muscle, youre gonna overtrain and lose muscle.....especially while in boot camp b/c you are on restricted cals.

Intense total body workout twice a day + running, humping w/full gear + negative cals and no aas = youre not gaining 20 pounds of muscle in 3 months!

Not one person in my platoon or company for that matter gained wieght! How could you? from 5:30 am till 9:00 pm you are burning calories, and you only get 3 meals and sometimes very small meals! Nobody in Marine Corps. boot camp goes a day w/o expending more calories then they eat.
Its hard enough to gain 20 pounds of solid muscle in 3 months while on aas and stuffing your face with protien let alone while in boot camp with limited meals and no aas.

Well Bro...all I know is that I went into Parris Island weighing 126lbs, right out of high school! I came out weighing 148lbs. That was from the end of December to the beginning of March. I'm not sure what branch of the military you were in but in the Marines our caloric intake was between 4,000-5,000 a day. At 18 years of age your body is still growing and that is what I did. When I came back I had to buy all new clothes because I couldn't fit in my old ones.

If no one in your platoon gained weight then you must have been in the pork chop platoon(PCP) where you are restricted on what you can eat! Sorry to burst your bubble but most everyone in 2020 gained weight except the fat slobs that got sent to PCP.

what's the pork chop platoon? sounds tasty.;)

Marines bro and no i was not in the pcp dude......i went in at a lean 165, and came out at 140. From my experience, and every other Marine ive ever talked to no one ever got enough to eat, and 4,000-5,000 cals a day sounds not even close to accurate to what you eat in boot camp......i dunno maybe times have changed since when you were in, i went to boot in July 98' and the hardest part of boot imo was being hungry all the time. This is the 1st ive heard of anyone gaining wieght, let alone 20 pounds of lean mass like you say.....i mean 20 pounds of muscle is hard to gain while on aas so how could you do it with the boot camp lifestyle which is basically over training and w/o aas?

[BJJ PitBull]

oh, and you were in from end of december to beggining of march?
Then, times have definitely changed b/c boot camp is 13 weeks now not 2.5 months.

12 weeks when I was in.......basically the last half of December, all of Jan. and Feb. and the first half of March. An this was in '97 to '98. Maybe you didn't eat everything that was offered...everything they offered to put on my plate I took and I ate. Mayber you were one of those recruits that gaffed off in the back while I was going for total muscle failure. I don't know what to tell you, but I can tell you that most everyone I was there with gained some weight.

Maybe that is the difference right there! You were in during the summer and I was in during the winter...big difference in what you sweat off! My best friend, who went through a year before me, even gained weight, so I don't know what to tell you!

Actually now that i think about it i think the difference is that you were in PI and i was in SD.......dunno if its true but some guys i have talked to who went to PI said that they were actually allowed second helpings.....is that true? In SD you got rushed through the chow line so quick that food often fell off your tray or didnt make it on your tray in the first place, and there was no seconds.
I just always remember being hungry, even right after chow!

Never had seconds but we had enough time in line to get our fill of food. The only time we were rushed through was the week of graduation.

How was Diego? We in P.I. always heard you guys were issued sunscreen and a surfboard! :rofl: And that you got to go for long runs beside the beach.

Actually the sunscreen part is true! Only during the summer though, before every run sunscreen was passed around. And we did get to go for a run on the Pendleton beach during the last week of training.......but the heat in SD in the summer is no joke! They have heat warnings when it gets super hot and if the temp goes above a certain degree then its called a black flag day and there would be no PT b/c recruits would be passing out left and right.....we never saw one of those days though in the 3 months i was there, but we did here sirens daily from a recruit passing out and collapsing from the heat and PT.

But you guys at PI dont have hills!!! We went for like 5 mile humps up and down mountains while you guys went for humps around the parade deck! Its a n even trade off though b/c theres no sand fleas in SD.

As far as chow goes, in SD the chow line is ran by recruits, and these recruits are being yelled at by DI's to hurry the line up, so the recruit serving food will slop some food on your trat so fast b/c hes getting yelled at and most the time only half of what that recruit had on his serving spoon made it to your tray!!! Dude they rushed us through that line so fast that there was very little food left on our tray!!! Everyone in my company lost wieght.....it sucked.

Seeing as how it was almost 20 years ago, I can't remember the hills but I know our humps weren't on the PD. P.I in the winter there were no sand fleas but it was bitter cold and we missed out on Christmas, New Years and I celebrated my birthday on the quarter-deck, thanks to my mother sending me a care package.

Our chow hall was ran by recruits as well. The DI's would be sitting at their booth eating and drinking coffee while the guide and squad leaders were in charge of the line. They new food was important to each recruit so we were not as rushed to get through....BUT DON"T YOU DARE stop and act like you didn't know what you wanted, like civilians at a buffet! Those fuckers would light your ass up quick and you wouldn't get shit!:rofl:
