I have slacked off a little on the running, to bring my swimming up to speed. Never thought I would be able to swim 1500yds but now completing 2600yds with little effort, ready for more punishment. I am aiming to start increasing the pushup/situp routines to three to four times a day however probably difficult concerning I work in a lab 48 hours a week. Speaking of which I just successful created a transgenic mouse, woohoo immortalized in science journals.

3/2/09 Well in pursuit of "SEAL fitness" I decided to keep track of all my routines. I have actually been keeping logs of my workouts for several years now, however I was in the pursuit of massive strength during those times. I always considered myself physically fit, then the day came to try the SEAL PST. I deadlift 505lbs but when it came to the PST, well I made the minimum requirements but was no where near competitive. Yep, that was a bummer plus some. Well I started training to become a SEAL, not a massive mountain unable to wipe his own a$$. So begins my blogging. I am hoping maybe I can guide some poor soul in the right direction by example or if at the least provide some motivation. Hopefully in return I will get some tips, ect from those more experienced. I'll warn you I spend countless hours reading publications (scientific journals, not some men's health column) and have extensive knowledge in the biological sciences. Thanks in advance.
Morning run: temp 22F (brrr), 4 miles (last 100yds sprint), not for time Evening swim: 500yds for time (css, difficulties going prone so remained on side)- right at 10 mins; 45 min continous swim Evening routine: 250 pushups (few sets as possible) 300 situps (few sets as possible) 100 bulgarian split squats (bodyweight)
