I’ve been working out with the Uncommon Weight Vest for a little over a month now. I commonly workout 5 times a week with Wednesdays and Sundays off. I’ve used the Uncommon weight vest for 3 out of my 5 workouts. It has absolutely broken me down in workouts I used to find ‘moderately’ difficult. […]
Shoulder work in the gym is the order of the day along with some speed work. The sprints will definitely help with your overall cardio fitness, build some explosion and will serve you well with your endurance. It is also a functional part of your job in Special Operations. There will be plenty of times […]
Continue to prep for the UBRR. Leg Day at the gym. Go for the lighter weights and more reps in the squats to build up a bit more of endurance. The sled is always a good way to build up power and explosiveness. Then a three mile run at a good pace, faster than the […]
Monday we’ll focus on some speed work with the shuttle runs rather than a longer duration. By now after the training program has been in effect for a while, your feet shouldn’t be bothering you too badly after the ruck march from Sunday. Training: More preparation for the UBRR 2 x 1-minute Pushups 2 x […]
A little warm up and a good long Sunday ruck march. As always be sure to stay hydrated during the ruck march. It should be a habit that will carry over to Selection and training afterward.

Over time, the longer you are around Special Forces units and troops the more you will hear the latest catch phrases and words that essentially re-invent the wheel.

Back in the gym this morning before heading out for a run. We’ll break up the routine next week with some speed interval running, that will help to build up your short area quickness and speed. Training: More Preparation for the UBRR: 3 x 12 Lat Pulldowns, behind the neck (go as heavy as possible) […]
How strong does the soldier or special operator need to be? There is a great deal of ignorance and stupidity proffered across the internet these days regarding this subject. After 20 years of research, coaching, and training all over the world, I have a definitive answer for you. But first I wish to address the subject […]
Continue to prep for the UBRR. A second Leg Day this week as we’ll blast them good today in the gym. Make note of your times in the run and your workouts in your workout log book. Training: 3 x 10 Pullups 3 x Front Squat 20-15-12 reps (lighter weight) 3 x Goblet Squats 20-15-12 […]
After a swim day, it is back to a heavy day of UBRR preparation with pushups, sit-ups, crunches, and a ruck march. Once again, ensure that you’re keeping a log of your times on your runs and rucks and you should be noticing a decrease in the times as time moves along. Don’t forget your […]
