Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation 8.16.2017 Shoulder work in the gym is how our Wednesday will begin along with some speed work. The sprints will 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. […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation 8.15.2017 Continue to prep for the UBRR. Leg Day at the gym, our favorite, with squats, the sled push, and some lunges. We’ll follow that with a three-mile run at a good pace, faster than the standard. Remember to stretch well before and after the run and to hydrate. […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation 8.14.2017 Monday we’ll focus on some speed work with the sprints rather than a longer duration. It will build up some explosion in your legs and improve your overall running. We’ll hit the exercises heavy this morning and build up some endurance. Focus on correct form and then worry […]
Dry fire training is probably the most cost-effective method of training one can invest in. All it requires is a gun, and a helping of common sense. You do not need ammunition. You do not have to pay for time at a range. At most all you need is your chosen gun, and a target […]

Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation 8.10.2017 It is Thursday and a heavy day of UBRR preparation with push ups, sit ups, crunches, and a longer ruck march. Keep a log of your times on your runs and rucks and you should be noticing a decrease in the times as we forge ahead. Don’t forget […]
Dry fire fit is a unique idea. It combines something most of us here enjoy. That is shooting and working out. Shooting and working out do have a few things in common. Both shooting and working out can be frustrating. Both can be dangerous to beginners. Shooting and working out requires proper form, discipline, and […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation 8.9.2017 Back to the gym today, working our back and shoulders followed by a shuttle run and a swim in fatigues and boots. Remember to stretch really well before and after your workout and drink plenty of water. I know that we harp on that a lot but it […]
Ah yes… the Nasty Nick Obstacle Course. If you are an aspiring Special Operations soldier in the Army, you will become intimately familiar with this obstacle course. It is one of those Rite of Passage gated events that you have to do. Part of the reason we do so much upper body training in our […]
