Navy SEAL Athletic Training
January 6, 2009 by Stew Smith
The following email is from a rower seeking Navy SEAL prep info and wondering if the program would help his athletic performance.
Here is his question:
Stew, I'm a high school rower and am looking for a strength training program to bring my rowing performance to the next level. I was wondering if a program like your Navy SEALs book is condusive to these types of results.
STEW: Nathan - Yes any of my Navy SEAL books are great for you - most are pullup focused which will help you the most as well as endurance and leg strength with running and swimming with fins...all work well for rowing. In fact many SEALs were former rowers. In fact, the maker of the Perfect Pushup (Alden Mills) was Navy Team Captain of Crew.
