Boot Camp
Monday, August 11th, 2008I completed 5 weeks of navy seal boot camp. However, i had to stop early because i will not hav daily access to the pool at school. I can’t say for sure if i would have made it the entire 19 wks, but i am certain i could a hav made a convincing effort. Considering i made it over 1/4 of the total program, and 1/3 of the way until it doesn’t get any more difficult. I can say in convincing fashion that i can see why the navy seals r the most elite fighting force on the planet.
There is no doubt that my skepticism was completely shut down. I hadn’t touched a dumbbell, barbell, or machine in 5 weeks yet i was completing training with relative ease that 5 weeks ago would hav sent me off w/ a b**** slap and a whimper. 1 mile used to b it and 2 miles was certain death, now 2 miles is an easy day. 50 - 100 push-ups were close to max, now 150 is an average day. I was and am an "average" swimmer, but the difference is that 15 min is a warm up rather than a nightmare. so…..
