Navy SEAL Training
Navy SEAL Training
Navy SEAL training uses the latest in science and technology
to development capable of executing the military's most
challenging missions. SEALs use the most sophisticated equipment
on the planet to carryout their missions, but the most valuable
weapon in their arsenal is their body. Commonly referred
to as " their weapon's platform", SEALs build
their bodies through intense physical training, but follow
the motto of “train smarter not harder.” SEAL exercises
are grounded in Functional Training techniques, where training
mimics the movements of their bodies and the movements required
of their missions. Functional Training also applies to everyday
life, combining balance, coordination, strength and power
for better results with less stress on the body.
Navy SEALs and Pushups
SEALs strengthen their bodies using several exercise routines,
but none is more prevalent than pushups. Even before a SEAL
candidate arrives at Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S)
training, they must pass a physical exam that includes a
test of how many Pushups they can complete in two minutes.
In every phase of BUD/S, pushups remain the staple exercise.
In first phase, students must perform 20 pushups on an instructor's
command; second phase raises the ante to 40 pushups; and
third phase tests the candidates’ will power and stamina
with 50 pushups performed with twenty pounds of equipment
on their back. Though SEAL training isn't for everyone,
the exercise principles they use definitely are, and it's
exactly what we've incorporated into Perfect Pushup workouts.
The Perfect Pushup is designed to help you build a better
body for life.
