My recommendation has been to only use weights with this program IF you need them. There are no weights in the 12 week program other than the light weight shoulder routine that is mysteriously omitted from the pictures / explanations (sorry - long story). It helps teach your muscles to have that kind of endurance to handle multiple sets of high repetition exercises.Ĭommon Question: can I add weights to the 12 Weeks to BUDS? Also you will be doing hundreds of repetitions of pushups, pullups, abdominal exercises like situps and flutterkicks in your workouts. The book reminds you to be swimming and running with these to prepare your legs for the miles of both events. For example, 99% of your swims at BUD/S is with fins and your 4+ mile runs are in boots. However, there are many workouts that prepare you to also get THROUGH BUDS. The 12 weeks to BUD/S workout is designed to help students ace the Navy SEAL PST of 500yd swim, pushups, situps, pullups, and a 1.5 mile run, plus most of the challenging / graded / timed events at SEAL training.
All you have to do is workout everyday at BUDS / Prep! Sounds like a great way to earn a pay check if you ask me!!
Now the SEAL training pipeline takes you out of boot camp and into a 6-8 week training course to prepare you for BUD/S (again) as boot camp will degrade your abilities a bit - but consider it a deload phase / taper. The good thing about the SEAL community is that it does not make BUD/S easier when it needs more SEALs, but better prepares them with mentors around the nation and pre-BUDS training after boot camp. The Navy SEAL program is still as tough as it has ever been, even though the Navy needs more SEALs. Also check out - So You Wanna Be A Frogman article.
