The SEAL Quest Daily Workout

The basics of the workout are going to be a 3 on 1 off routine. I will be posting The SEAL Quest Daily Workout. I wil consistantly change things up so your body will not be able to adapt. The workouts will be hard enough for the super studs and accomplishable for the beginners. I want to create a competitive environment. The workouts will be done for time. So you can compare yourself against each other based on weight pushed and time. We will have a way to measure performance.

Here is an example of how the workout is going to be structured. Take at least 4 hours recovery between workouts.

Sunday
PT Session:
Overhead Squats for 30 minutes
Handstand Pushups for 30 minutes

For the Overhead Squats don't worry about numbers, sets, reps, just get in the weightroom, get the snatch grip on the bar or broomstick, get it overhead and start working it any way you can. Hold it down in the bottom squat position. Keep the bar in line with your ears, rep out and feel the stretch, this will help you get flexible. With the Handstands and Handstand Pushups find a wall and just start doing 1 minute static holds.  Get your head up, look around, get comfortable being upside down, try shuffling left to right, do negative pushups, and use the parrellettes. When doing handstand pushups, go nose to the floor.

Cardio Session:
Choose a run, swim (with fins, mask, and UDT Lifejacket), or Concept II rower for a long slow pace.

Supplementary Session:
Balance and Proprioception Routine
Muscle Ups
PowerLung

Clearwater Workout Group

I will continually change things up. You might not see the same workout day for a couple months. The idea is to make your body continually adapt to the stimulus we are throwing at it.

I will post pictures and an explanation of all exercises and if I introduce a new exercise I will tell you how to do it. On the website I will post an exercise dictionary and link it to the workouts.

I will also post a list of must have equipment. For instance you will need a Dura Ball, some Power Rings, a 20 lb Medicine ball, a Foam Roller, parallets (Instructions on how to make them), and a jump rope.
