I like to run your training as close to what you will experience in BUD/S, so I post workouts 6 days a week. That allows you to take a day off (Sunday in my case), and if needed another day sometime during the week. I personally like to rotate that day each week (i.e. monday the first week, tuesday the second, wednesday the third, thursday the fourth, friday the fifth, saturday the sixth, and on the seventh week do a full 6 day rotation of workouts).

Of course, if you feel that you are getting sick or are overtraining, then you need to take the time needed to get healthy. I know how hard that can be. For most of us it takes more discipline to take a day off then it does to motivate to go work out.

Let me know if that answers your question.

Sorry that I did not get to your first question prior to you doing the workout. I worked with a few guys in Eugene today and then headed down to Grants Pass, so it’s been a long one.

You can mix up the push ups and pull ups as you see fit. In fact it’s best to do so, because in mixing it up you use different muscles and therefore get a better result in the end.

There’s nothing like the functional movement of actually working (digging holes and chopping roots or for that matter moving couches and book shelves) to round out the effect of your training.

The weekend after next I’ll bring my fins to the Portland YMCA to do some work in the pool with you. I’m sure that you will pick it up quickly.

I finished the workout in a time of 1 hour and 8 minutes. That included an 8 minute break and a 6 minute break for me to get from the pool to the gym upstairs, and getting back down and into the pool. I also got a good arm workout from my work today. I spent about 6 hours digging holes with an auger and chopping roots with axes. Haha so my arms are pretty dead tonight from the workouts. I also think that I need work on my swimming with fins. So maybe sometime when we do another workout at the Portland YMCA I could get some help from you with that.

I’m still working right now, but today after work I’m going to do the workout. Anyways, I just had a question about pull ups and push-ups in our workouts. Is it alright to mix in different kinds of push ups (like diamond push ups and wide angle) or pull ups (like close grip, wide grip, or even chin ups) when it says to do push ups or pull ups in the workout? or should we just stick to doing regular push ups and pull ups?
