Hey i have about 2 years to prepare for the Navy Seals and i have no ideas of where to start.

Where I Am:
- No experience in the water
- compared to Seals conditioning mine is weak
- 195 lbs, H.S. sophomore 6ft

Bulk up or start swimming or start conditioning like hell. I dont know where to start!

HELP?
 
Raja yoga, otherwise known as mental conditioning. If it is anything as advertised, the mental conditioning that will allow you push through all the conditioning, strength, and skill training that you'll be faced with will be more important overall than any of those individually.
 
start swimming and running. it should condition and bulk up ur back and help you lose weight. all things that are good for the rest of the requirements, which are mostly exercises that use ur body weight. if you can do the swimming and running portion, everything else should be downhill from there. keep ur nutrition in check though and get tips if u need them from the forums about it, all that cardio might make u eat more than u should.
 
swimming and running like crazy (in nature), stick to bodyweight exercises and a few compound movements. Focus on legs and core.

grow a moustache (use test injectables if u cant do it naturally), NOT a weak ass zorro style moustache, aim for don frye. learn how to throw spinning back kicks wearing heavy boots, and how to strangle opponents with a string. Practice sneaking up on people when they least expect it.

First, go running for 3 months. Then start taking kickboxing classes twice a week, twice a week weight training and once a week running. After 2 years you will be ready. Eat healty, rest enough and fuck your brains out.
 
Get used to cold water and no sleep? I think the mental preparation is the most important. It's expected that you're in shape so that's a give in, but most people wash out of BUDS because of the lack of mental preparedness. Have you watched the specials on SEAL training on the military channel? Intense!
 
Talk with a recruiter and get some facts.

Random thoughts:

Does your HS offer JROTC? Are you in it?

Since you are in HS, take advantage of to atheltics dept. Learn to swim. If you don't know how to properly swim, head for your local YMCA and sign up for adult swim lessons, they are afforadably priced. Then sign up for your school's swim and water polo team. You don't need to be varsity just get the water time. Try for the distance events. Depending on your interest and sport schedule, skip water polo and sign up for wrestling (some of the best workouts I've ever had).

A basic conditioning program can be found at: Navy SEAL workout - how to get fit the Navy SEAL way
If you are swimming for school, modify the workout especially during season (i.e. the swim sections).
 
Entering training to become a Navy SEAL is voluntary; and officers and enlisted men train side by side. To volunteer, SEAL candidates must meet the following criteria.
Male in the United States Navy or Coast Guard
Age 28 or younger (waivers for 29- and 30-year-olds are possible)
Uncorrected vision no worse than 20/200 in both eyes, correctable to 20/20 through contacts or glasses. (Corrective surgery PRK is also possible.)
U.S. citizen
GT score of 110 or higher on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)

SEAL Training consists of the following:
1-8 weeks Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School (new recruits)
5 weeks Indoctrination Course at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado
24 weeks Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) selection at the Naval Special Warfare Center, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado
15 weeks SEAL Qualification Training (SQT)
including 4 weeks Cold Weather Survival Training at Kodiak, Alaska
2 weeks level C SERE School
1 week Basic Airborne Static-line jump school at Ft. Benning, GA and 3 weeksHALO parachute training at the Military Free-Fall Training Center, MCAS Yuma, AZ.
12-18 months SEAL Platoon Training

Assignment to BUD/S is conditional on passing the PST. The minimum requirements of the PST are:
500 yd (460 m) swim using breast or side stroke in under 12:30
At least 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
At least 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
At least 6 pull-ups from a dead hang (no time limit)
Run 1.5 mi (2.4 km) in boots and trousers in under 11:30
Members' vision must be no worse than 20/200 in both eyes. Vision must be correctable to 20/20. SEAL candidates may qualify for PRK surgery to correct their vision.
Prospective trainees are expected to exceed the minimums. "Competitive" scores are:
500-yard swim using breast or combat side stroke in 10:00 minutes or less
79 push-ups in 2 minutes
79 sit-ups in 2 minutes
11 pull-ups from a dead hang (no time limit)
Run 1.5 miles in boots and trousers in under 10:20
The most competitive candidates for selection to attend BUD/S as officers have a combined run and swim time under 18 minutes, as well as scores far exceeding the minimum on the other events.

Seal workout training: Escape: the Navy Seals workout details
 
First off I've done a pre-training training for the navy seals. I will advise you a few things:

1. Don't try and get used to cold water, bad fucking idea. You can easly get sick and/or die by laying in 40 degree water. Navy Seal instructors are professionals, they will take care of you while putting you through the worst moments of your life.

2. Do not try and go a week without sleep before training! BAD idea, it will NOT help you at all. Again the instructors at the camp have a method that is proven and tested, you actually go about 3 days with no sleep then you are given an hour of sleep.

3. GET LEAN, get as lean as you possibly can before training. MUSCLE DOES NOT FLOAT, I hope your good in the water. Because if you manage to make it through the first phases you will be in the water ALOT ALOT. You will be swimming underwater until you pass out, you will be punched, kicked, tossed in the water while you are told to put gear on. Water is your friend

4. Be able to do all the requirements physically (running, swimming, etc) BEFORE you head to camp. There are various websites that show the requirments for the camp, research them and do them.



It is going to be the hardest thing you have ever done, being a Navy Seal is not a choice it is a calling. If you manage to make it to hell week (they run you non-stop the first nigh tuntil someone quits) just remember the rest of your life is going to include these things as a Navy Seal:

1. Always cold
2. Always covered in sand
3. Always tired
4. Always hungray

If you can't handle those conditions for 20years then you are not made to be a Seal. Good Luck and have fun!

ALSO I hope your a clean person, one smudge on your boot will cost you 400 pushups. Also no candy, junk food either cause guess what? 400 pushups!
 
What happens if you have bad grammar? Double castration?
 
If your an idiot you will be singled out and made to quit. If they want you out...you will quit. I guarantee you, everyone can be pushed so far they quit...thats not the point of this training.

You're not a seal, right? I understood from your extremely poorly written first post that you have never been through hell week.

Actually you apprently didn't read my post enough =)

But I forgive

You said that you've done "pre-training training for the navy seals." Implicit in the term "pre-training" is that you are not a seal. Otherwise you would have said, "I am a seal." You have poor communication skills. What is/was your relationship to the seals?
