The new trilogy is updated to reflect recent changes to PST prep as well as BUD/S itself and all three have increasing intensity of training to help you get TO your Spec Ops Selection (SEAL / SWCC / EOD/Diver, SAR, SARC) and THROUGH that selection (BUD/S specifically). Here is more about the programs (in book and ebook format)
Navy PST Phase 1 - Crush the PST and Get TO Selection - This program is focused on teaching you about PHASE 1 of tactical fitness training – getting TO the training. You will not get accepted to attend training without crushing this fitness test. Since the road to becoming a Navy Special Warfare / Special Ops member is long and challenging, you really want to be able to exceed the minimum standards. In fact, exceeding the standards IS the standard. You will learn this from doing this workout. There are no minimum standard goals that work in this journey. However, this program is for those who can barely meet the minimum Standards on the Physical Screening Test and takes you to a level where you can handle the Navy PST easily. Then you have the foundation to keep working to prepare yourself to get THROUGH selection.
Navy SEAL Phase 2/3 - Getting THROUGH BUD/S: There is much more to BUD/S than the PST. You need to add in some rucking / load bearing as you will be rucking wearing a 40-50lb backpack in BUD/S – also prepares you for boats / logs. Longer runs and swims are weekly tests you have to endure as well - on top of treading, pool skills, and other tactical skills you will also have to master. In fact, this is one of several programs you can choose from to help you prepare for what could be a long journey of challenges and hard training.
This Workout – Navy SEAL Phase 2/3 includes another 12 weeks of workouts to help you prepare to not just maintaining high level PST scores but actually getting THROUGH BUD/S.
Navy SEAL Phase 4 - This is as best as I can make a first phase BUD/S simulation training even with a Hell Week simulation week! What this program does is prepare you mentally and physically for the daily struggles of BUDS. Not only the Grinder PT, but the class punishments for losing races, failing inspections and runs, and your swim buddy screwing up will be addressed in this 5-6-week program. You will build toughness by pushing past the failure point in any exercise (running, pull-ups, pushups, abs etc…) BUT you have to be careful NOT to injure yourself. There is a fine line between pain and injury as well as mental toughness and stupidity. Be smart with this program.

When you start training again, consider the seasonal tactical fitness model. I call it A WAY to train and obviously not the only way to train. But it offers the opportunity to never neglect your weaknesses, helps with flexibility and mobility, but will also put you at a level of physical abilities where you are happy with your overall ability to do just about anything. We have a system where the seasons dictate our training. When it is nicer outside, we tend to run and do more calisthenics. When it is colder and not so nice, we lift more, run less, and still maintain our outdoor activities with shorter runs and rucks. Check it out: Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization System.
These Seasonal Tactical Fitness BLOCK Periodization programs will walk you through 4 x 4 weeks cycles with 16 weeks of each season in two programs. (32 total weeks)
