“So basically I need to show for BUDS in shape.”
Dude’s brilliant. 😂
The honesty and realness that this man gives is absolutely refreshing in a world full of BS
“Do you shave?’’
Caller: “My legs”
Bruh!! If a male ask me do I shave, the first thing I’m thinking is my face not my legs. Smh..
😄
😂😂😂😂
Nah he’s a swimmer that’s probably why
Lol I served with someone who did indeed shaved his legs! The women in the platoon loved it!
7:10 Him saying "Mmmkay" like the teacher off South Park got me 🤣🤣😅 💀 🤣🤣🤣
I'm 46 and have been using your running tips to get me down to a 11 minute 1.5 mile. It's working. I think I'll be there in a month.
That's weak! Kennyan runners would do circles around you.
The only thing Kennyans knows how to do is run . I can only imagine how far they go when war comes to their shores. Oh wait we already know what they do . RUN AWAY.
@@apollothirteen9236 i know. This was the boot camp standard in 96. I could probably do a a 10 minute back then. 11 is not too bad for an old guy that hasn't ram much recently.
@@Arthurknight.4 No excuses for not being able to run as fast as them. Anyone joining the special forces should be required to run at least as fast as them.
@@micclay A four minute mile should be the minimum requirement to join special forces.
Bro, you are killing it with the sober reality of Buds. I was an OS (Seal Source rating prior to guaranteed contracts) those that accepted the challenge were always running, swimming, doing shit at the beach at Damn Neck AND STILL saw those kids in the fleet.
I was also an OS and went to A School at Dam Neck.
did u guys make it?
Damn you can tell this brother was a SEAL Officer. No BS straight to the point.
So glad Jake’s posting longer videos again might’ve been a week but felt like forever
You have to understand this is where Navy seals get their confidence. The seed is planted the first day of buds. Going through adversity like that with other men, creates a blood bond, which allows you to work hard for your teammate. The whole pipeline is to discourage individualismand reward teamwork
Due to the adversity, such as hell, weak, going through your barriers, pushing yourself outside your comfort zone over and over again creates confidence. When you do things that not too many people do or want to do, it gives you a sense of confidence around others because you know they have been trained like you.
Jake “Do you shave?”
Dr. W “My legs?”
😂😂
😅
Great content
Brutal and honest exactly what is needed.
7 weeks is a good time frame.
Health is the bare minimum that is needed . Your absolutely right it's either you got it or you don't. No way to coat it.
Jake you out here killing the game! Keep bringing that fire🔥 my man!
Inspired by your honesty.
Subbed & smashed the 👍 button
I’m 6’3, have been as heavy as 245 of lean powerlifting muscle, and as light as 175 of pure cardio shark. Longest mileage weeks were probably 50-55 for a while getting ready for the PST that I ultimately decided not to pursue again my second time around.
My best 1.5 run ever was a 9:50-9:55 when I was 18-19. Recruiters absolutely screwed me back then. Long story - got an early & unexpected “fraudulent enlistment” discharge, and so did another SEAL hopeful/candidate who shipping out from my same recruiting office a few months before me…
My second best 1.5 run was probably a 10:15-10:20 at age 25-26.
My 4-mile timed runs were also never quite where they needed to be. I could definitely pass them on flat terrain, but I was never going to get under a 30 minute 4 mile in the soft sand in boots & pants.
Have been running consistently since age 16. Currently 29, around 220lbs. Ran 5.5 the other night, still walking at least 25 miles a week, probably only running right around 12 right now.
I don’t get shin splints. Never have. Grew up skateboarding throwing myself down big obstacles, and playing tough Texas football from a young age. Football coaches hated me for being a skateboarder as well, and I wasn’t about to quit skating like they expected me to, so I never got to play past 8th grade. Been running, walking, & rucking medium to long mile distances regularly for nearly 15 years, played many sports before that, and I’ve been working entirely on my feet using my legs, back & arms pretty much my whole life.
Takes volume. Probably a buildup of a history of volume, too. Also, eat lacinto kale. Too much oxalates in spinach. Had to get a 7-9mm kidney stone surgically removed once from oxalates. Not fun.
I also don’t consume any dairy. Too inflammatory and fattening for my particular body.
Point being, I could never get my run any better than what it was, although I never had Jake’s PDF back then. It took everything I had in me just to get the times that I did, and they weren’t sustainable for very long. Swim was much easier than run for me, also. Best swim was 8:34. Could swim a 9:30-9:40 on my worst day while literally puking in the middle of the swim.
Some guys just can’t run what it takes. I also had 3 knee surgeries by the age of 20, two minor surgeries, and one major. I think the major one messed up my body’s symmetry/alignment for life, which makes things more difficult for me.
3 knee surgeries, and I still put in work and miles. Volume.
Don't feel bad bro, I couldn't run either and it'd take all my effort training and during the event to maintain mediocre numbers. What was really weird strange about it though is I could ruck better than most. You'd think it'd be transferable but it's not
Yah stride length is the key
Reality and Truth, as always, Mr. Zweig! The few guys I've seen from the SF community, all knew early on, that's what they wanted to do and lived the life as a youngster that set themselves up for it. There has always been a certain percentage of the population that is suited to SF, and it's okay if one is not, there is always honor in serving the higher cause. Gotta keep helping them assess themselves for what is the best path for them, vs. the idealistic, romantic notion.
Love that hes giving honest and good advice to young men about where to enlist.
No homo....i love Jake...tells it as it is...wish this resource was around when i joined the Navy...would've changed my life. Is what it is....but yall NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS MAN...HES GIVING GOLD!!! FOLLOW WHAT HE SAYS
You'll know from a young age whether your genetics are top tier. Programs like the Navy SEALs are designed for the best of the best. I have horrible genetics, asthma, allergies, IBS, etc., but I still have a deep appreciation for these superhuman specimens.
I completely agree with you. Huge respect for these guys and the grit they got. Great genetics too.
This is a great one Jake.
"Okaaaaay?"
Great video with this young guy.
At age 40 I went to the Army National Guard. As a prior service Army E5 I went OCS. I ran a 33 minute five mile, 1 hour 19 minute 6 miles ruck march with a 50lbs ruck and had a completion time of 1 hour 30 minutes, and I also had to do a 80% PT test the day prior. I was passing some of the younger soldiers in all events and the infantry guys blew my doors off. I did not make OCS selection because of my age. I had been trying to join the guard for the pass three years and by the time I got commissioned I would past the age limit. I did not make it but I did tried my best. I trained in the gym and running in the park. I ran hills to get myself in shape and lifted weights for strength. When I ran for the first time I ran a 25 minute 2 mile. Plus, I was also studying for the ASVAB, going to college, working 40 hours per week, and being a family man. Its about conditioning your mind also that 12 years in the Army prepared me for.
Even regular officers in the Marine Corps have to be in amazing shape. This guy has never been around real life military men. Jake tells him more times than I can count that he needs to RUN RUN RUN and it doesn’t get through.
US Marine officer = bad dude running
After two years in the Army as a truck driver I was lucky to run a low 13:00 and I was in the fast group in my unit. Keep in mind that we ran at least 9 miles a week.
Wrestlers are just built different. Greatest sport ever.
Love this kind of education. It’s not what they want but what they need to hear to understand what they are getting themselves into. Definitely love the you aren’t going to be a seal you just don’t have that Grit statement followed up with actual obtainable goals that still challenge the person absolutely love it❤
BOOOOOOOOM 🔥
Shin splints turned to stress fractures that turned to a no running no jumping profile for 8 months.
80 sucks? damn i suck lol
I feel like it depends on size and arm length. If your 150lb 80 is not that good .
It doesn’t suck, you’re right at the brink. 90+ is “competitive” and that’s the standard
@@Roderick1 I'm 190
@@theastraladepts80 is great. Very little pass that. The minimum is 50-60.
Don't believe that 80 sucks guy, I passed my Seal prequal in boot camp and I'm telling you not a fucking one of the dudes that were logging over 100 push-ups and 20 pull-ups were doing their push ups/ pull ups clean.
A perfect score for the push-ups is 120 which obviously 1 push up per second for 2 minutes straight. AND NO ONE, Navy SEAL or not is going to put out those numbers every day, day in and day out, the human body doesn't recouperate that fast even at 17 and most definitely not at 30+
And let's be clear, it's quite easy to watch buds classes on YT and there's no reason to go that hard for longevity. And LET'S BE REAL AND REAL FN clear here, if you want to be a life time operator with minimal damage, quit with the FN SUPERMAN BS. Take your time to prepare, make your times count and the rest will follow.
Physical training follows the same MO,
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Used Gatorade cups filled with water… frozen, rub on shins with a towel underneath. Shin splints are like calluses… just keep working. We were all d1 athletes and had conditioned for years before running real distances.
Everyone wants to be special operations to be cool...! I joined in 1979 and Nobody knew about Seals or SF unless you had time in service..
Mr. Zweig, how does one aspiring member of the military join a call with you?
After my son climbed "The Reaper", they told him 1 leg was broken and the other was softened. He was in BMP for a long time. In HS he ran CC and played hockey, but after school he didn't train for a year before joining The Marine Corp.6 years later he has hip and other issues. Crawl, walk, run!!
I was always a sprinter running sud 5 min miles but that was it so in the army infantry i got absolutely crushed and with deployments and everything else building up it took me about 2 years to get 13min 2 miles or less and consistently after being smoked for hours but as far as shin splints brother you have to push through hair line fractures it sucks but you gotta run it and even enjoy it aside from that shoes shoes shoes keep going through different ones until you find the right ones embrace the pain brother. Once i changed my body to be able to knock out 10 mile runs and to not get side eyed ibwas still able to keep my one mile time at 5 flat at a mile high. Also dont get it twisted some guys no matter what just cant run even though they can knock absolutely everything else out the water and ive helped dudes run till they had to go to the hospital so if your one of the ones that cant thats ok you just gotta go in a different direction.
LT you Don Shipley and few others that went thru the toughest training on earth. I was in the navy but I would never would cross or do that very insane shit . 0000/8404 EFMFWS is good enough for me. Respect for y'all that wanted to become an operator
The highlights lol
The lifeguards in the ocean.
Could advise with running too, injuries used to be a big issue for me.
Jake is throwing some hard truth, and reality and expectation management.
I don’t know shit about SEALs, but I do know that I did no athletics in high school and was not a fit dude, and subsequently did not have the muscle mass at 17 that I should have.
I was a normal, not special infantryman (went in early GWOT era), and OSUT and the initial portion of my career and at my first unit were much harder than they had to be. I was able to work my ass off, and while I did get absolutely crushed until I was able to score a 270, when I did it was an amazing feeling. You’ll get there, but it takes a lot of work if you did not develop muscle mass and bone density in your youth.
I deployed pretty early into my career, and it was only then that I finally caught up on the muscle mass that I should have had (but didn’t due to lack of athletics growing up) and started being able to go on the extended scale with pushups. I Anyways, the beginning of my career was harder than it had to be, and he’s spot on in what he says about willpower vs physical preparation.
Everyone I served with that wrestled in school was a great Soldier, at least that’s what I saw (anecdotally, of course, but wrestling in school seems to have prepared guys well for military service as a general statement).
Thank you for your service!!!! Thanks for the facta
@@jakezweigcheers bro! Thanks back at you; it’s cool the way you are coaching people in a very real way. People always talk about mental resiliency, but that physical resiliency that one needs isn’t brought up so much. I was just a normal infantryman and I loved it. I got to catch up physically and grow, and do some fairly cool stuff. I got where I needed to be, but it would have been much easier if I had a baseline of physical resiliency. The infantry life isn’t the easiest, but people will get where they need to be, and not fail and chip paint. The way you steer people into the right branches and jobs is legit.
8:20 this hits. Coming from a power lifting background I’m going good with everything but running.
I’m sitting here at 24 about to graduate with my masters, wanting to enlist, but there’s obviously different routes. 😬
Im a slob bro but watching this guy throwin cold water on people is dope
Some guys just don’t have enough testosterone.
It always cracks me up how he says "okay" lol....

4:55. Everybody needs to hear this! You can lose your life attempting soas and buds.
This might help with shin splints
Biking a single speed fixed wheel will help strengthen leg muscles (and I swear it helped my joints get stronger too)
You even have to put out going downhill with the fixed wheel, to manage your speed
Air Force perspective here: It is luck/timing for aircraft selection. True, top performers can get their choice, if that aircraft is available. Had a cadet get selected for Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training which is almost a guarantee for fighters/bombers, but there were none available, so he got C-17. Like you said though, still flying and making that $$$.
what are your times ? blah blah blaaaah...... he gonna get knocked TF out by the instructors
Much respect to the bigger guys 6ft 200 pds who are able to run long distance,
Great example you gave him. I respect you and your Seal service a ton. But man, you'd have been a great leader in the army infantry units I was in. Your videos are addicting. Setting the guys up for success AFTER service. 🙌 💪
Also, what you say about wrestlers is SPOT ON. I could have never been a Seal but I was a middle and high school wrestler and and the training does help so much. I cant speak for buds but it helped me a lot carrying a lot of weight on long ass rucks. If I had never wrestled I probably wouldn't have ever even been in the military. Thanks for all you do man. 🫡
Hoooooo ahhhhhhh
the feeling of things being more attainable in the Army is something you can really only feel once youve been in. It is true though... the navy Af and USMC, specially the USMC just dont got opportunities for guys the way the army does.
I love the long drawn out okayyyyyyyyy! L😂mao
13:12 Goggins? 😂😂 sneak diss
"My legs?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i mean 😂😂😂😂
16:25 time stamp is the overall arching belief of these new generations. Delusional confidence.
18:05 its crazy how doing something as simple as taking a multi-vitamin can do good for your health
I started running with the techniques and dropped my 1.5 mile down 2.13 minutes in 2 runs. My 1.5 mile is at 14.17 and looking to continue to get it down to 11 minute
If this dude reads the comments and happens to see mine, first and foremost don’t give up on yourself, keep going bro ! Been there too, terrible shin splints problem. Worked up to 20-25 miles of running a week and held it for couple of months, now I have new limits of milage and I’m chilling running 10-12km at a pop 4-5 times a week. Hell I may even squeeze in a few interval 400/800m sprints every few days combined with (shorter) long runs on that day. Just go go go run like wolverine !!! Try to hold a goal pace (7min/mile) for 1 mile than 2 miles 3 miles so on as you progress for as long as you can and than complete your run at your natural conversational pace. Guarantee you that running 28-29 min 4 mile timed run will become a natural standard. Just saying what I observed within myself. Hopefully this helps anyone reading it
Thank you for the comment
Where do I find this free PDF?
I thinkTriathlon training will help with endurance mechanics
Heel running will get you shin splints easily. Even though I never been in the military, I like hearing the "it" factor.
Former Athlete though.
15:37 Jake you missed a bit of the audio distortion.
When I went to Navy boot camp, I was more than over half out of shape. People ask me you went seals: hell no.
I'm slowly getting back in the calisthenics, make myself committed and consistent, and get the body i want and I'm 41
Yeah I was so out of shape I smoked weed and cigarettes and Drank for 5 years straight when I joined at 21. It was too easy I passed no problem
Man can you do a video on how you beat ashtma. Did you have medications for asthma and manage to train without it?
Yah man run everyday I will make a video for you
@@jakezweig 👏🏾🙏🏾. Thank you
@@jakezweig Hello Jake, whenever you get time I’d love to see a video on how you handled ashtma. It affects a ton of people. Thanks. 🙏🏾
Your best chances are to be a grunt first. Priceless experience let ya know where ya stand. Then go from there.
Bro u okay sooooo many times chill we get it
Do a couch to marathon training program to lay a base
Check out the USAF Special Warfare Physical Training Preparation Manual.
If followed to a tee it “should” take anyone from any level to a great foundation. Maybe not SEALs level of required fitness but a great foundation with tons of info.
@ViperAqua just checked it out....solid program don't think there is enough volume but good starting point covers a bunch of great food stuff
Why doesn’t he try out for Special Operations Surgical Teams - a team of Special Operations Doctors in the Air Force, or he could do SF 18D or Air Force Pararescue.
Damn, I feel really good about myself, I do jiu-jitsu and I ran 7.7 miles the other day and I maybe run a few times a month tops, can’t believe it took you 9 months to run 3 miles Jake
BIG AZZ Physical difference between you and the literal legend that is Jake. And btw Jujutsu lol ..... your in a world of wrestlers bud our muscle fibers are way different then yours. Your looking for a quick tap while were literally brut strength keeping another grown azz man down on the floor.
jake that guy who you thought wouldn't make it and did would you consider him a one in a million ? or did you just not see something in him that he had?
I’m 40 - 6 miles every other day. 6 miles within 40 mins - sometimes 38
You definitely want that run down. But don't hang everything on that. Your mind can push through.
How old was this dude?
I would never feel insecure about going to the army. Aye I don’t think I’m cut out for navy seals hell week. But tell any of them see me on the mat or ring. Let’s gets poppin
Shoot, I finished infantry basic training with a 2 mi run of 12:38 I don't think I could have made a 35-minute 5 mi run at the end of basic. I ran a 4.6 in high school at about 185 lb 5'11"
At the end of basic I was 165 and ran the 12:38 two mile. A lot of people can blow that out of the water but it's still not anything to sneeze at.

When do you think the seals will get their shit together?
It always has been. It's not for everyone
After listening to this dude, he doesn’t sound like he has the mentality to make it. He isn’t receptive to new information. He had the audacity to say “I’m better than that” smh.
You didn't call f ing Google lmao😂
I heard you say something in another video a while back and I’m paraphrasing.. BUDS is looking for mules not race horses. A mule can take a beating and keep on going. Race horse gets out the gate fast but kill over .. 😂
For a sec i thought this was his real voice but then i realized no way that is his voice.. sounds more deep than dean martin 😆
80 Press ups bad 120 sit ups good? EH?!
8 weeks to train up.. ? That's reduculous.. It takes over a year, using progressive overload to train up, with each week increasing time or mileage, and the rest needed to recover.
He was already a wrestler
I'll be honest. With that much questions. I doubt, that he would not make it. Idk i just tell that the mentality needs a bit more toughness.
Navy SEAL the biggest Army recruiter
Yes sir army rocks
Where do these people grow up, did this guy sniff glue??
The more and more I hear seals talk on youtube the regular seal teams see way less combat if any compared to 6 at damneck .....it's like so if your looking for combat then green berets is so much more attainable and better chances of making it and going to combat rather than going to buds and say u do make it by chance then you go to a team and sit on your hands for 5 yrs chomping at the bit to operate you did all that for nothing if combat is what u want
Still watching this as I type but man I had to pause and comment!!! Quote of the day…… YOU DIDN’T FUCKIN CALL GOOGLE!!!🤣🤣🤣…… THE ZWEIG!!!!! MORE!!!!

I don’t get why you just don’t straight up tell him “you’re not fit for this.” You knew damn well 5 seconds after meeting this kid he had 0% chance of making it as a SEAL. Why waste your time and his? That’s the one thing about all this “honesty” of yours I don’t get?

How many miles a week you running and swimming
@@jakezweig 30 miles running.. 2x swims per week.. I got 9:15 run and 8:55 swim on PST.. get me an interview yo.. Itd be cool to speak to you.
@Disciple_tyler jake.zweig@gmail.com I'm just going to tell you your not close to enough volume. 50 mile of running and 25k swimming
Dam neck = seal team six.
What’s this THREE YEAR ARMY THING that you’re talking about? BASIC and AIT is 3 months! JUMP SCHOOL is 3 WEEKS. AIR ASSAULT SCHOOL is 10 DAYS. So you can get RASP in a year, if you’re focused.
French Foreign Legion for him. Enough said
shin splints - game over... reason why ? he don't even know HOW to run
What ? JZ , I don’t think I ever heard A-F ever being Reco by you ,,yea it’s a good one , CFL!!
shit you said it took you 3 years to run 3 miles. shit im not a runnner it took me like a week. Im going to run 50 miles a week do 200 a month for like 4 months before i ship off. i will be in the top 20% of canidates. Im lean 5'8 141. I can run 8 mile easily. I can do 100 pushups, over 100 situps, over 30 pullups and swim fine. I played tennis and with minimial effort I can easily be in top 15% before I go in with minimal effort. Im very confiident if i put in the work for my swims and runs over the next 4 months im going to make it. Also I have pretty strong mental mindset. Im pretty funny guy too officers will love me ahahah. Those scores above I acheived with minimal effort. I can bench a 160 for like 2 sets. Tell me what you think. I just gotta do a little better on the asvab didnt have much time to study I got 43 on piccat. I know im going to become a navy seal. Im funny and im lowkey kinda psycho. im 20 years old and am finshing my 2 year degree then going in.
Yeah you are psycho, pipe dream…
