Learn from an experienced special operations coach some of the best tips you can use to quickly get selected. We're talking about everything from goal setting to the amount you should be working out for special forces training. Plus, I'll share my top tips to improve your odds of being selected. This video will be helpful for everyone regardless of the career path or branch you are training for - US Army (Green Beret, Army Ranger), Air Force (PJ, CCT, SR), Navy (SEAL, SWCC), or Marine Corps (MARSOC, Raider).

Just remember - 95% of the gains you’ll make come from doing the simple, repetitive tasks day in and day out
All the fancy training, supplements, or other “hacks” will not make up for failing to perform the fundamentals
I hope this video serves as a refresher of the basics, in addition to teaching you some other gems to maximize your training
What is YOUR action item from the video?
My action item: Keep grinding that grind (zone 2 (with the occasional (about 20%) high intensity training). Steady state forward.
I always say train using your own endurance and stamina. In the real world it when shit hits the fan you won't hang your supplements
Mindset is everything. You can do this!

If you wanna run 10 miles per day, you need carbs, not paleo.
Oatmeal!!!!!
@@dean4996oatmeal digests slowly rice is my go to carb along with potatoes if I need potassium
Yeap.. coke and snicker bars instead of steak and eggs. Lol! 😊 better yet, just potatoes with super sweet tea! Protein and fats are a joke. LOL! 😂
Of course,what do I know? At near 60,I can still pass the Rangers ruck test. My running is off some; but, that could be due to my knee and ankle is full of steel. So, rucking 80lbs for 1.5 hrs 2to3 times a week has to do. I am increasing it to 100lbs at the end of the month.
If they would let me, I would try out for selection again just to see what a old man could do. I was branded once and have great memories. Very few youngons have heart anymore.
Not true
This is a really good channel with some real truths.
I’m a bit in limbo myself. I served in the Marines as an 02 and got out last decade - and had to figure everything out overtime myself to start life again by myself (career, house, school, all responsibilities/obligations and that revolve around that. I got so out of shape and gained weight. I was never like this and was extremely fit and athletic (some of my vet friends saw me throughout the years and their jaw-dropped that I was the last person they expected to derail)
I still have this burning desire to serve in some capacity in the reserves, but particularly try out for Recon selection (I served with friends that were Force Recon Marines and they always urged me to try out since I’m pretty much a fish in the water!) it’s crazy because I’m 5’7, 205lbs and can pass all the swimming events of selection without the utilities on.
It’s just so tough sometimes to find the drive and motivation when everything in life hits you every single day. We’ll see. Anyone out there trying for some kind of selection - keep at it!
Life sucks, it sucks more when you live every day regretting what you didn't do. Go train.
@@quickfeed7592 you are absolutely right friend. Thank you. Goal is to sign an 0321 contract by the end of the year. Keeping at it

One of the hardest things for me to accept rn is that my training needs to change for the military and i have to be okay with leaning down and losing some muscle mass to gain a shit ton of cardio and endurance. I’ve trained for size and strength for years and it’s all I’ve known so obviously my cardio has suffered
The video I needed
Heading to MEPS Wednesday and Thursday, signed on a 6 year special forces contract. Wish me luck, hoping to use this video to get in shape for the last month I got before deployment. ❤ I KNOW I can do this, I hope they see my dedication and respect it. 😊
Good luck brother! I have MEPs on the 24th of this month! Signing a 6 year 18x contract for SF
Solid video
Hi! Awsome work! Can you provide info about what this Zone 2 running is and about Zone Running in general? A link to an article would be helpful as well, of course. Thank you!
Here's a long video. I'll be creating an article on this shortly - czcams.com/video/-6PDBVRkCKc/video.html&pp=ygUSem9uZSAyIHBldGVyIGF0dGlh
That’s some beautiful thumbnail editing

Watching this video on a spinning bike in the gym lol
New to rucking. Pack weighs 35Ibs for now. Just did a full hour at an average pace of 4.55mph (13:11/mile). I notice my calves are burning for the first 15 minutes and then they just..... Get over it, I guess?? No big concern there
What is concerning is that my feet start going numb around 15 or 20 minutes in. That normal?
Yes it’s normal, make sure to stretch before and after. Recovery is key don’t overuse any muscle day after day 👍 stay hard
Ha! Sam :)
What program do you recommend for someone who wants to be a firefighter?
None ur a fire fighter bro
Yeah not to shit on fire fighters but if you can deadlift 350 and run 2 miles in 16 minutes you'll pass the CPAT easily
Will this army special forces prep work for Marine Raiders as well?
Yes
Im almost 18, 5'9, 166 mostly lean muscle, and i do both strength and cardio. do i need to bulk up for the army? (I want to be army ranger)
I think it depends. It you are strong enough to meet the strength demands, extra weight could just slow you down. But if you lack strength, you definitely want to add muscle. Have you researched and set specific strength goals? I think that would be more important than focusing on weight
@@ExtraRice365 max bench is 275, deadlift is 465, squat is 415. I can do 100 pushups, 90 situps in 2 minutes and 21 pullups. But i also feel like i have more time to prepare, is there anything i should focus on?
@@WeebleWabble dang you seem strong. Did you play a sport in HS?
But more importantly, how is your rucking & running speed and endurance? That should be super important for becoming a Ranger. I'm no coach, but I would say you don't need to bulk up more unless it helps you ruck better. For comparison, I'm 6'3" 200lbs and you can lift a lot more than me.
@@WeebleWabble I would also say, consider things like overhead press strength rather than just bench. Also, grip strength & endurance. A lot of strong lifters tend to overlook grip strength because they've gotten used to the ease of barbells and dumbells
@@ExtraRice365 i feel like im lacking on rucking, and a faster mile time. My mile time is only 6:30 and ive only rucked a couple times
I feel like 90% percent of Americans don’t need to do a single push up before enlisting its a mind over matter skill that needs to be learned adaptive determination.
Sulek would not be down for that.

The best way to train? Haul pulp wood all summer and heavy ruck on your time off. Carrying and throwing 8 ft logs all day will get you in shape.
