I Barely Survived the Navy SEAL Obstacle Course...

Спорт

Today I'm trying the BUD/s obstacle course! This course is used at Naval Special Warfare to train and qualify candidates during the Navy Seal and SWCC pipeline.
Thanks to the team over in Coronado for letting me come out!

    I actually had the opportunity to run this course in 2013 (albeit the obstacles have changed since then). I was 35 at the time and in fairly average, maybe slightly better than average shape. A BUDs student, an Ensign who was absolute hulk of a guy and in the shape of a straight up V from the waist up, came out and talked to us about how it's usually the smaller guys who do well in BUDs, and the bigger guys usually fail. He demonstrated the course in about 5 minutes flat. Came across the finish line perfectly fine, not even out of breath or looking tired. I thought to myself okay, this guy is a little younger, and in a little better shape than me (I was lying to myself), if he can do it in 5, I'll give myself 10. A HALF HOUR LATER I literally crawled across the finish line on my hands and knees, fell over on my side and just laid there contemplating if death was really that bad for the next 15 minutes, while trying half heartedly to convince the other half dead people I was fine. One of the greatest experiences of my life, but you could not pay me enough to ever do it again!

    I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend? How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.

On top of that, he did not have to do it with blisters on his hands, chafed balls, sleep deprivation, etc. And he did it while they treated him like a baby (instead of getting treated like everyone else during training). ...The only easy day was yesterday!

    Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. Evan Eichler told me that one of the women he trained was medically dropped from BUD/S because she broke her ankle. According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates struggle with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?

    Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future

    Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. Evan Eichler told me that one of the women he trained was medically dropped from BUD/S because she broke her ankle. According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates struggle with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?

    I disagree with Kristoff, for the record. Women are perfectly capable of lifting their own body weight. (Look at gymnastics) There were some women I heard about from guys at Ranger School that were no joke. The only place where a woman might struggle is the stuff that requires raw strength. Otherwise, the durability factor is something that can be trained and conditioned for. You just need to train with more than your bodyweight. The huge factor is making sure your body weight doesn’t exceed what your muscles can move. Austen has a large frame, maybe a bit too heavy to be fast with obstacle courses. Never just train with your bodyweight, that’s just a maintenance. I always train with a weight vest, or some sort of resistance in order to build endurance and strength. With courses like this, grip strength is such a huge factor. Farmers Carry and forearm exercises are needed to train for grip strength. When I was at SFAS, we did the Nasty Nick obstacle course first thing in the morning, and all the wood and metal was still covered and dew, which added even more difficulty to an already challenging, mostly upper body and grip strength course. Even simple monkey bars became pretty difficult.

    ​@@jasminejoy_373 The key is to prepare a long time in advance. Just going 100% a few weeks or even a couple months out will basically guarantee injury. The body needs time to strengthen itself especially when it comes to bones and tendons. Definitely aim way higher than the given standards. Spend a lot of time strengthening your lower body especially and also don't neglect mobility work. The rest is just in your head. I wish you all the best.

In my opinion, women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs, but they should overcome the same obstacle course as men. Even though men may have it easier, women entering the NAVY should perform the same duties. Making the obstacle course easier for women could be detrimental, as once they enter the NAVY, they may face the same physical challenges as men, leading to potential injuries such as broken legs or arms. While I'm just starting my journey, I hope you can overcome all the obstacles in the future and achieve your goal of becoming a Navy SEAL.

    At the old Guards Depot in Pirbright the assault course had 44 obstacles that was treated as a tactical exercise and was completed in full CEFO ie Battle Order full webbing with weapons including machine guns and helmets. It was that hard that there was a legend that did the rounds that the US Army Rangers refused to do it. It was reputed the hardest assault course in NATO.

    Courses like these really aren't that hard, if you're lean and fit. The reason it looks so hard for this guy, is that he's huge. There's only so much your forearms can handle and usually, men who are twice the size of other men, only really have about 10-15 percent more strength in their forearms. That's why this course is built the way it is. It's a great equalizer.

    Yeah he’s got poor cardio. He was winded after the first obstacle. He’s strong but he’s so heavy that everything is more difficult. The 5’7” 140lb fit dudes would struggle way less with this. Still super challenging of course lol.

    I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend? How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.

The physical strength and mental toughness needed to survive - you only see a small fraction of what these soldiers do to protect our country. One of the things that impressed me is seeing size alone doesn't matter. Skill, determination and mental resilience matter more.

    Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. How should a woman prepare for BUD/S? How are women treated in BUD/S? Do you have any advice for preparation? I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. According to what some BUD/S dropouts told me, one female SEAL candidate broke her legs in Basic Orientation (BO) which is the first two weeks of BUD/S, another female SEAL candidate broke her legs in BUD/S Prep and a third female SEAL candidate got rolled back in BO for stress fractures. None of them made it. Evan Eichler told me that one of the women he trained was medically dropped from BUD/S because she broke her ankle. According to the SEALSWCC Scout Team, most female SEAL candidates struggle with load bearing and just don’t have enough durability. Women have weaker bones and tendons than men, studies have shown that women develop stress fractures 3x more often than men. Do you have any advice for becoming more durable?

    SEALs are sailors, not soldiers. And Special Forces is the army not the navy. But I do agree with you about them being physical specimens. You have to have a pretty good baseline for physical fitness to begin with go through the training. In time, I MIIGHT be fit enough to try a similar kind of obstacle course-training but I'm sure it would kill me if I tried it now because like David Goggins, I used to be over 300 pounds and I was overweight. I couldn't do a single push-up or sit-up and I couldn't even run. I've since lost about 70- 80 pounds and my goal is to lose over 100 pounds and I've been doing a lot of exercising and physical conditioning. I'll start doing push-ups and sit-ups after I get down to anywhere from about 210 pounds to 200 pounds. But I still feel pretty proud of the progress that I've made in losing weight and getting back in shape and in seeing how Austen Alexander did here( who is already a pretty fit guy), he still did pretty well here!

    #10 was really dangerous, especially because he's a big fella. I feel his biggest hindrance is that he hasn't yet learned how to control his breathe, like regulate the inhale/exhale to match your effort, box breathing, horizontal breathing instead of vertical, and "Alexander" breathing. Techniques on breathing awareness just makes a world of difference, but still..MAD respect to his strong performance. He's clearly already a tough guy and now he's probably even tougher after this, thanks for sharing the excellent experience!
