Testimonials See Feature Testimonial from former Military Spouse / Mom of three Thank you very much for your help Stew! Your articles are a huge help and the Seven Week program you put together for passing the FBI PFT worked wonders. My scores before your program: Situps:28 I took the official PFT this morning did better than I ever expected. Situps:
50 (6 points) 22 Points Total. Thanks again and I look forward to continuing the workouts and improving the scores. Stew, I have been using the 45 day beginner plan and it is working wonders. To date I have lost almost 25 pounds. Had my FBI PFT yesterday and I passed with flying colors (scored 20pts, where 12 was needed to pass). Over the past few months I had been using your pft routines and implemented your suggested diets on the days preceding the test. I felt great! Drastically improved my sprint times (came in at 45.7 for 300meters) and my 1.5 mile was 10:37 (def could improve there). I also brought the ice water bottles with me and certainly used those yesterday. Thanks again for all your help and for your recent correspondence. These programs are great for people who want to get in shape and stay that way. I would also highly recommend them for anyone going into sports, as these are great preseason workouts. If you want to join a special ops division in the Air Force, Navy or Army, follow one of Stew's plans, you won't regret it. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for helping me achieve my life’s dream. With your help I was able to finish Navy Dive School. I’m an old guy so this is especially gratifying considering I was training daily with kids in their teens and a little over. You helped me stay motivated and with all the information on techniques to improve your PRT scores I was able to finish. Thank you again for your help. The Navy Dive School is saying I was the oldest to ever complete the training (48). I've never written an email like this so that should tell you something about your site. I'm a former D1 collegiate soccer player. After sustaining a career-ending injury I've watched my muscle tone dwindle through the years until about a year ago at 28 I couldn't run without severe knee pain. I decided to do something about it and ate healthier. Just in the last few months now going on 30, I found your site and started putting it into action. Since August I've lost 24 pounds of solid fat and 3 inches off my waist. With my weight down, my knee has held up and the doctor says I shouldn't need surgery. I still have a long way to go, but I wanted to thank you for your no-nonsense site. Everything focuses on the short cuts these days (which any intelligent person knows is total BS) and you straight up put the truth out there, no gimmicks. No BS. No fees for your "secret" to success. Just a routine and links to more helpful info. I appreciate it. Thanks! It is due to
your six week
Hey Stew - with your brand new 10 Day Water Challenge I lost 12 pounds in the first 7 days and it was not from sweating!!! Man I had no idea how bloated I was - I feel great now too!!! I wanted to express my gratitude to you for authoring the Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness. I bought the book in 2000 and went through the program while in my 30s. Going through the evolutions gave me the confidence to become a better scuba diver, to overcome unemployment and single-handedly set up a mission in Panamá. I attribute almost everything I could accomplish to enduring the physical discomfort of the 12 weeks to BUD/S program. My only regret about going through the evolutions of the Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness program is that I lacked knowledge of it while in the Navy myself. I wish the Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness existed in the early 1990s, there’s no way to know how far I would’ve gone with the Navy. Just wanted to say that your "Need for Speed" article has worked miracles for me! I recently had my 2nd try at the FBI PFT test and passed due to following your article exactly. I shaved an entire 2 minutes off of my 1.5 mile run (just from that article alone)! Now, I'll be following your PFT strategies, your 15-day strategy and the "Drop 2:00 off your mile pace" plans combined to further hone my fitness level to get ready for the 1st PFT at Quantico. Just wanted to say thank you for posting it and taking the time to create it. Your FBI plan was instrumental to my success in passing the test. If it's worth mentioning - out of all the research I have done on firefighter fitness and of all the websites, publications, and information out there for firefighters, I have found and you and your partners articles to be the most helpful. I decided I wanted to join the Army about four months ago. Since then, I've lost 45 pounds with working out and eating right. Your site was one of the major sources of information. I've been having trouble staying on track, lately - I've still got a long way to go. Today I found your story about Father Hoog - and it was just the motivation I needed. Thank you for everything! I wanted to thank you for your swat workout . I am a 51 year old firefighter /paramedic /peace officer and was trying to become a tactical paramedic . I am presently on my third six weeks of the SWAT candidate workout and have gone from 235 to189 in weight . I could not climb the 28 ft rope on the o course and I just conquered it a week ago. I just made the team and they are sending me to schools for tactical medic and swat in the next 2 months. I'm sure you have plenty great testimonials about your books , but I wanted to give you one more and say that I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Thanks again Thank you for all the help you have given me about the US Army Rangers. I would also like to thank you about all the information and tips you have given me on physical fitness. Thanks to your fitness sections, I am able to do 24 dead hang pull-ups, 114 push-ups in 2 minutes, run a 6:30 minute mile (which I'm working on a 6:00 minute mile) and do around 95 sit-ups in 2 minutes. Again I would really like to thank you on all the helpful and useful information and advice you have given me. I passed my FBI fit test yesterday with flying colors, and
it was clearly from using your workouts. I scored the highest in my group
in all events and set two new records. I ran the 300-meter in 45.92 (my
past PR was 48), and I did 57 situps (past PR was 54). I did the 1.5 mile
in 10:40, more than two minutes faster than when I first started on your
workouts. I started in February with your Need for Speed workout, and then I bought and used your FBI eBook. Your articles on how to take the test were also very helpful. The ice bottles in the hands to keep my core cold, the sports drink for blood sugar, and the pacing and gravity tips all worked to maximize my scores. I'm a Marine Corps. Vet. with two tours overseas since then I got out of the military and been working a regular civilian job. With that said I packed on a few pounds I went from 165 in the Marines to 228 pounds as of lately. With my civilian job not getting me anywhere I'm looking to go back into the military and wanted desperately to loose the weight and waist line. I found your website through MILITARY.COM and printed off your diet plan as well as your ab workout and I just need to say IN TWO MONTHS !!!! I LOST 70 POUNDS AND WENT FROM A 38 WAIST , TO A 31 WAIST WITH SLIGHT DEFINITION OF A SIX PACK STOMACH !!!!! Don't get me wrong I still have a ways to go till it is MORE apparent but i have been dieting to your plan and work out RELIGIOUSLY as well as running either every day or every other (Depending on how bad my shin splints hurt) but regardless , I'm running AT LEAST 2 miles a day if not more. Mr..Smith - I am not sure if you remember me or not - I first got started on getting back into shape around December - at that time I was around 220 lbs. wearing a size 22-24. Since then I have purchased a number of your programs and combined a little of each to make it fit me as you advised me to back in 2007. I am VERY PROUD to say because of your help, I have lost around 59 lbs. and have been able to keep it off. I went from a size 22-24 to a size 10!! I want to say thanks for your
Pullup-Push program, I managed to do 23
full form pull ups in the end (2 weeks). Dear Stew, I purchased your Guide to Navy Seal Fitness about a year ago off Amazon and must say it has really changed my life. Therefore, I wanted to thank you for putting out all your knowledge in book form. There are so many different strategies and schools of thought out there when it comes to exercise science. I often read something in men's health one month only to be contradicted the next month in another article. So you clear and concise book has been very helpful. I have been trying as hard as possible to get in all the weekly workouts from your book but sometimes find it hard to find the time for everything. Nonetheless I have made tremendous strides in both endurance and strength. I am still a fairly slow runner 8minute miles but using your program to help with this as well. Thank You. Stew Just wanted to drop a quick note. My physical was yesterday. I'm about 186 lbs and had a resting HR of 50. That's never happened. I haven't been this light since college. This is the most fit I've ever been. I can drop and do 100 pushups with little problem, my fresh pullups are around 30, and while no runner I'm faster than I've been since high school. I'm not fast, but I can swim further than I'd thought possible. I love being in the gym, and I'm dialing in a 6 pack. Not bad for a 37 year old. Thanks, Stew. I really mean it. My client passed from 9 points to getting 15 points and passing her FBI evaluation. You are the sole reason for giving great tips and leading me to your wonderful resources to make this happen. I cannot thank you enough for this absolutely selfless gesture. Thank you once again. Thanks a ton. On October 24, 2008 & October 25, 2008 I was in a ventilator not able to breathe from a bad asthma attack. My BP was 170 (Diastolic) – 245 ( systolic). Things could have been fatal then. When I was discharged I had no strength to walk. It is then that I was ( while resting at home ) that I came across your website. At that stage I had not been doing any serious exercises for almost 14 years except for a stint of 3 months in a gym and an occasional weight training session. I am extremely grateful to all the advises that you have given to me patiently. These advices have helped me progress a lot health wise And they All have been free. After reading all your articles and following your advice things have changed and Now I am able to lift half my bodyweight for about 150 reps in four compound exercises Squats, Bent Over Rows, Barbell Shrugs, Military Press. Since Nov-08 I have managed to exercise at least for 22 days in a month. My health can now only get better. I would like to thank you for the PHENOMENAL pull up plan you have developed. I recently started your plan two weeks ago in an attempt to raise my pull-ups for my Marine Corps PFT. At aforementioned point I was able to accomplish 18 dead hang pull-ups. After stringently following your plan (minus some modifications for higher repetitions) I am amazed to state that I am now able to perform 25 dead hang pull-ups. I will admit that at first I was skeptical of the near miracle results promised with following the plan, however, I am now a skeptic converted. Thank you not just for this workout plan but for all of your plans provided for the betterment of not just the nations military personnel but for the American nation as a whole. Very Respectfully, Lt. Smith: I wanted to thank you for your help with my wife’s training. I am proud to say that she ran the whole time and now she wants to do it again. PS: She loves to tell people that she used a Navy SEALs Training Manual to get ready. Thank you I just completed your PJ/CCT workout and it was AMAZING!!!
The swimming exercises were ridiculously difficult but I pushed myself to
make it happen. I swam a 500 in 13:00 before this...now I swim a 7:45! Your
workout definitely gave me huge results and I loved your workout... I wanted to say that of all the articles that I have read, I think yours have been the most upfront, honest, and most important, positive articles I have read. It came as a surprise to me because I don’t have a lot of positive associations with the Military, but I have found myself going back to read and re-read several of your articles because of the uplifting comments in them, and the “You- CAN- DO THIS” attitude. I feel as if I have a lot of negative energy around me in my life currently and have found a release in exercise. I have a long way to go until I am a truly fit person as unfortunately I have become part of the statistics of America these days. However, I have been able to put a lot of the tips I have found on your webpage to use, and I feel it has helped me begin the process of rebuilding that strong, independent, and empowered person I know that I am. So Thank you for the positive energy and guidance. Please keep up the great work. I just realized that I never emailed you back to tell how the selection course went. We started the course with 57 candidates and graduated with 19 twenty days later. WOW! What a ride. I want to absolutely thank you for all your help. Your books have been invaluable. Even more so was the personal workout advice that you gave to me a couple of months before the course. I thank you very much for that. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please don't hesitate to contact me. I have taken two PFT's so far since my arrival at school. I did (in the two minute time limit) 77 push-ups, 81 sit-ups, and ran the 2-mile in 12:38. I have no doubt I scored high because I followed your workouts online. I drastically improved my push-ups, as you said I would, and I think I am definately on the rigth path as far as PT goes for special forces, thanks to you. So thank you very much for helping start me down the right path to achieve my goals. I just wanted to thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to work us all out. I also wanted to let you know that 2 months prior to Summer Seminar, I was very out of shape and very worried about what I would do when June 6th rolled around. So I searched ‘Summer Seminar workout’ on Google and your page came up. I worked through your suggested exercises consistently and I got my mile time down from 9:50 to 7:20 (on the CFA), plus I vastly improved on pushups and sit-ups and I pretty much owe it all to you. I just wanted to let you know that you made a big impact in my life and I really wanted to thank you for everything. After doing your Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness - Here's my scores from my first PST in January to my most recent one two weeks ago.(13 weeks) Swim -
went from 13.30 to 10.10 Thanks - I am almost ready!! I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your work. When in the navy I was a Rescue Swimmer. I was diagnosed with cancer while in the Naval reserves. Due to the disease and treatment I gain a lot of weight. Got depressed and pretty much gave up. Recently I became serious about losing weight. I weighed 290 lbs in January of this year ( 2009 ). I followed the food plan and The 45 Day Beginner Program because of my weight and I had not worked out in many years. I am now at 235 lbs and feel better then I have in at least 10 years. I have checked with recruiter and I am eligible to get in Army. I still need to lose more weight and get my wheels back. I have started with the beginner program again and will continue to your other books. I feel and look great. Thank you again. Thank you for the book. I have your SEAL training book and used it before I left for Army Basic. It was a life saver. I know that this book will also be useful as I continue to train in the National Guard as a Combat Medic and your information will also help me as a Correctional Officer which is my civilian career. Day 31of the 45 day Plan = 40 standard pushups. That is forty more than I could do at day 1 - Thanks When I was an enlisted a buddy
of mine had "The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness". Workouts on a ship in
the early 90s were not ideal, but we had a pull-up bar, a running machine
and a rowing machine (substitute for swimming). We did pushups and other
calisthenics together when we were off watch, and stayed in pretty good
shape. Most of all, we challenged each other and had a damn good time. Thank you for answering all my question and you are really motivating me to continue on my journey to hopefully one day become a Navy Seal. I have been doing your 12 weeks to BUD/S program for 2 weeks now and on the Saturday of week #2, after my workout I performed 80 push ups, 80 sit-ups and 14 pull-ups. I increased my pst from 50 push ups, 50 sit-ups, and 7 pull-ups in two weeks using your program! Well I just wanted to say thanks and I will keep your informed on my progress and keep the questions coming. I sent you an email a while back asking if your workout guides were safe for a 16 year old recruit-to-be to use. After your reply I read one of your articles about succeeding by failing. Before taking this new mindset I was only able to do 25-30 press ups, I was not only stuck on a plateau, I was firmly glued to it! And now, after about 2 months of trying to do sets of 100, I am now starting to regularly train on 3-4 sets of 50. I cannot believe the progress I have made, and it’s all down to you. Thanks so much for the great advice. Some time back I signed up for the online personal training with a view to entering a police SAR unit. Through the workout programs and guidance provided, I was successful in obtaining my goal, so much so, that I have been transferred to a tactical where "you can be used better". I've never sweated, hurt and enjoyed myself all at the same time! Thanks to Stew for getting me in the best shape of my life, and changing the workout and eating habits of not only myself, but that of my family. Cheers Thank you STEW!! I have been working on your getting back into shape program a little over a year. I am 5ft. 7 and last year I weighted over 220 lbs., in a size 24 -26 felt horrible, depressed and eating for the sake of eating (all the wrong foods). Today one year and one month later I have lost 60 lbs! I am now in a size 14 -16. I still have about 13 -20 more lbs. to go to reach my health goal, but I feel GREAT!! One of my secrets, when ever I wanted to lose weight, is that I would never tell my self I was on a diet!! I am also up to about 3-4 liters of water a day! That to me was my BIGGEST accomplishment!! My arthritis, joints and my over all health problems including my acne has gotten better!! At my last doctors appointment, my dr asked me what happened to me over the past year. We were looking over my health records (weight charts) over the past year, I told him about your website. He went to the programs that you have and the one that I have been on, he said that he was going to recommend your site to others that need motivation and implement some of your ideas in their health plains!! Thanks for all your help!! I have changed my motto in life!! I am strong I am determined I will succeed!! You have really helped me out, and I refer a lot of my customers at work to you!! One of my co workers has lost about 10 lbs, just by drinking water for a little over a month!! Just wanted to tell you that, after sending you a couple of emails that you responded to, after asking you for the best way to prepare for the Army PFT and following three of the routines you have I passed it the first time around. I can honestly say that I would not have passed it without some type of guide and the information you presented worked for me and I haven’t taken an Army PFT since 1995 when I was 24 years old. I have been a Sheriff's deputy
for the past four years. A few months ago I applied for the Warrant Apprehension
Team (Like the SWAT Team). I used several of your workouts to get in shape for
the physical fitness test and I nailed it. Before using your workouts I could
only do 37 push ups, 51 sit ups, 4 pull ups, and my 1.5 mile time was 12:21.
My score for the test was 61 push ups, 89 sit ups, 14 pull ups, and my 1.5
mile time was 8:58. I emailed you a few weeks ago asking you to help me with a fitness plan for the PFT for the Sheriff program? I just wanted you to know how well I am doing. I have lost, so far, 15 pounds since we first spoke .As far as inches go, I am somewhere around a 40" waist at this time instead of 44". My thighs are considerably smaller as I am wearing pants I packed away over a year ago because I could not fit into them! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you do for so many people. You inspire me to want to be a better person! I workout at the gym 4-5 days a week and I drink LOADS of water. In fact, as a Diet Coke addict who drank at least 6-10 diet sodas a day and 4-5 cups of coffee for over 10 years; I am now completely off caffeine as well as soda and coffee. I feel so great there is no need for caffeine anymore! I drink water and maybe one tea a day (no sugar). I feel better, I look fantastic. I figure in a year, I will be ready physically and hopefully mentally for not only the sheriff PFT, and also that my new lifestyle will be second nature to me. You will be hearing from me occasionally as I always have questions. But I just wanted to let you know of my progress. Thank you so much! I am a 28 year old female. I am a army brat my father
retired 22 years army however, I gained weight and weighed about
250lbs. My recruiter explained I met the criteria but I needed to work
hard on my weight. I started walking, cutting back but still hit a plateu
around 225lbs. I needed the correct foods to not only diet but change my
lifestyle. I needed the correct way to train for the pt test. Well, 6 months
later I am 51lbs lighter. I can run the mile and 1/2 in the time. I didn't
have much money to buy all the resources but just using your three hour diet
and other resources on your website has truly changed my life. I feel
better, I eat healthier and I can now pass the body fat test at MEPS. Well it's been almost a year since I first bought your Marine OCS/TBS workout book and corresponding with you. I just got my package finished for OCS and cleared MEPS and my first PFT. Here are my scores: Pull-ups: 20 Score: 286 Figures from day 1 never having done any exercise or using your materials: Pull-ups: 0 My next PFT is in a month, I was conservative on the run (not wanting to gas out at the end) so I will finally be implementing your 6-week running plan + mixtures of my own things as well as yours. I'll let you know my score but I'm going 300 or bust sir. Thanks for your general motivations and articles which have sparked a great interest in fitness. I purchased your
beginning fitness program just 2 months ago. I am 21 and was very unhappy
with the way I felt. Just getting out on my own, I am trying to establish
new habits. My parents kind of brought me up on fast food. It is
unbelievable how much I have changed since I bought this program. Walking
into it I looked at the last 5 day set on the list and I thought to myself
'No way can I do that.' Going on about day 31 in the program I looked at
your exercise worksheet and said to myself 'is that it?' It is unbelievable.
- Lt. Smith, Your S F / Ranger 10 weeker was the basic plan. Your rec. on 2-3 hypoxic swims was right on the mark. While I'm sure the 4000 ft. of elevation change didn't help my time, I never felt out of breath or tight chested. Great workouts. Hoping to set up some business in MD so I can get another training session in with you some day. Again, great stuff. - My name is Tim I got one of your marine prep workouts it was a big help, and
thanks for all the workout advice. I can do twice as many pullups and situps I
ship out April 4th to bootcamp - my MOS is infantry - I just wanted to thank you for your great workout books. I am a 43-year old woman, lucky enough to have been one of that first generation that played sports and benefited from Title IX. As a consequence, I have always stayed in decent shape. But frankly, your workouts have completely changed the way I approach fitness. I took a 3-month SEAL class at my gym and am now 9 weeks into Maximum Fitness. I love the variety, I love the exhaustion, I love the satisfaction at the end of the day. (Actually, this rest week is the toughest one yet!) I am a college professor, and I also love knowing that I'm in better shape than most of my students, male or female. So thanks. I love your workouts and everything they do. Now I just have to get my husband to do them too . . . . Best regards, Elizabeth - I trained with Alden for 10hrs over 3 days back in December. I have known Stew
since well before that time and have trained with him online since then.
Throughout my pursuit of the Navy and SEAL Team these two relationships are some
of my most valued. I would not trade my experiences with them or the teaching
they have given for anything. When I signed up with Alden, I didn't even know
that the hours spent with him came with online training from Stew. Alden broke
down and assessed exactly what I needed to change and stayed with me until it
was right. He is an excellent motivator and made fun out of our hard training .
- I don't think we've ever met, but I used to compete against your Naval Academy boys that you taught at the MEC Competitions between '96-'00. I was ROTC at NC State and I was always amazed me how those Academy SEAL wannabe's could run all damn day and never seem to get tired! I could beat most of them in the pool, but for the rest of the PFT, they were smoking me. Anyway, now that I have a couple of your workouts, I hope to be at their level of competition and be ready for BUD/S if the board selects me this summer. Your program is the best....LTJG Scott USN - Just wanted to thank you for writing "The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness". I have finished the 12 week program and am now in the best shape of my life. - Michael - Hello! from NTTC Corry Station, Pensacola FL, Stew. I'd just like to say that I love your site, and your fitness books are great. I just ordered your video on SEAL fitness. I'm a Cryptologic instructor, stationed at NTTC . I am requesting, and preparing for BUD/S orders, and some of my students are joining my PT sessions. We follow some for your programs, and the students enjoy them. Thanks for putting the information out there. Thanks for you time. And keep up the good work. - CTR2 USN - Currently I am in NROTC and desire to go to BUD/S. At the beginning of this semester I was in pretty good shape, but was looking to really push myself over the edge physically. I decided to do the 4 and 12 week program from your first book. I got to the 6th week of the 12 week program before school began overwhelming me. I had to put PT on the back burner so I could focus on finishing strong academically for the semester. Well, last week my unit decided to send me with some of our Semper Fi guys to Auburn for their annual USMC amphibious warrior race. My job was to take the Super PFT while our marines ran the amphib race. The Super PFT is scored the same as regular USMC scoring only one catch, in order for the extra points to count you have to at least max out all three events. (i.e. 30 pull ups, 150 sit ups, 18:00 three mile run = 400 points, but 30 pull ups, 150 sit ups, and 18:01 run = 299 points). I was very worried about how I would perform because I simply had not PTed AT ALL in well over a month and a half. At the beginning of the semester I had done 17 pull ups, 100 sit ups and 18:31 on the run. This past Saturday at Auburn I did 25 pull ups, 140 sit ups, and 17:53 on the run. No other person there scored as high as I did. Basically what I'm getting at is your workout program is LEGIT! I can't even imagine what my numbers would look like if I had been able to stay with the program. I can't believe I'm still in superior shape to what I was at the beginning of the semester after doing NOTHING for the last six weeks. Saturday when I got done with the run (the last portion of the PFT) I just couldn't help but laugh my rear end off. Thanks for an awesome program, Stew. Thanks for getting me over the hump. - D I wanted to send you a quick email to say thanks for all your help and mentoring last week. I came away from our short time together with a lot more than faster times and increased reps. I really appreciated all the time you spent talking with me and opening my eyes a little more to what it’s really like to be a SEAL. Anyway, thanks again for your time and help. I’m looking forward to working out with you in the future (even if just online) and blowing the PFT away next time I take it for you! - Brian "My swim times went from 10:30 to 9:00 in one hour with Stew." - Joe L. "I never thought to train with the stop watch as my intensity guide." - Dave K. "PACE - I learned how to pace myself and score better in every event." - John L. "Stew knows what he is doing - He prepared 100's for BUD/s." - Andrew "I just wanted a good workout and I got it and was sore for a week." - Antonio "I used to kill myself in the swim and always did poorly on the PT and run, - AJ - now I have energy to max the scores - after one pool session with Stew!" I found the Ranger Workout very helpful. I incorporated it in the program given by the FSK (Defence Department Special Command - FSK which are stationed at HJK - Hærens Jeger Kommando). I recently completed the "PFT" and scored very nicely on the 8km run with 22kg on my back I came in on 51.14, which is under the limit but I intend to improve that time down to 45 minutes. And then I bump in to an old friend whose taking part in the Marinejeger tryouts....and wants me to go there instead. The decisions one has to make..hehe.. either swimming in the tide or running around in a marsh. Anyway I just wanted to say that the program worked out nicely. Marius
I purchased your six week pararescue program a while back. I recently went to a "selection day" for the 305th pararescue unit in Tucson, Az.......they hold their own all-day tryout to see who they want to sponsor into the field. The last time they held one, fourteen guys started, and there were only two left by the end of the day. Well, I made it through the twelve hour day after using your program for four weeks, and they honored me by inviting me to come aboard and head out for the I-course in a month or two. So, thanks for all of your help..... - Brian
We took our SWAT PT test yesterday. They are not the same events the current
workouts are designed to address. However, I did 8 pull ups wearing our 22 lbs.
vest, ran the 40 in 6.4 seconds wearing the vest and starting prone and ran the
1/2 mile in 3:27. The standards are 2 pull ups, 7.7 seconds for the 40 and 1/2
mile in 4:45. Even though I am the oldest guy on the team by about 10 years, my
scores put me in the middle of the team scores. The training program is working.
I am going to ask you to put together a 6 week PT prep program to specifically
address the FBI SWAT PT test. The current workouts are designed to address the
