Navy Seals Workout
Discussion
What does everybody think to this? Could be a good routine to get to a half decent base level then progress from there?

Military fitness is basically just circuits - sprints and basic bodyweight exercises, usually, ie. the same stuff you can do on civvie street. It's the mentality that makes the difference, not the routine. As it says above, you might as well make your own up.

Could do this one. I've been receiving his emails for the last 6 weeks to see if it was decent or just BS. His concepts tie in with what I've read elsewhere but give you a specific set of exercises.

I didn't follow what he is doing as my goals are slightly different although I have changed my routine somewhat to incorporate his ideas (or "change up" as people seem to keep wanting to write).

When you say 'gains' do you mean size ?
If your main goals are size then you might be better off looking up a good Hypertrophy routine, I think the workout linked looks very good for strength and fitness. Don't forget to eat plenty if you want to grow !

I personally think the workout linked is well worth sticking to, the reps progression will definitely get you stronger and fitter. It probably isn't optimum for size though.

These are the minimums.
