[Marianne Weber]

Pretty great book over old-school basics to getting in shape. Smith has a lot of great advice on nutrition and getting ready for a test day or an event, and also has various plans to prepare you for the test dates. If you can accomplish any of his plans, you will be in KILLER shape! Even if you cant, it's a great tool for figuring out goals and pushing you in a general direction of workouts. If you want a very specific plan and you are a beginner, this probably isn't the best book for you since it is focusing on preparing people for SEAL school and assumes a decent level of fitness to start.

[Jamie Burton]

Slightly underwhelming, I think this book could be 25-30 pages long and cut out many extra details. A counterargument could be that this is "The Complete" guide, however, I still think it's superfluous.

Destruction mode back in the Summer of 2008 - lean, mean, angry, and crushing triathlon training - good times.

Have never followed a harder or more intense workout program ever!! Be prepared to spend multiple hours daily in the gym... Best for single guys truly trying to get into BUD/S, there's no doubt this will take care of any physical prep you need!! If you finish this program you can finish BUD/S, as long as your mentally tough enough, there is no training for that

[David]

The book is detailed and a good resource. The issue really is if you can do the workouts due to physical ability and time commitment. That is not the author's fault, this is just the nature and requirement to be at this level of physical fitness.

Excellent book.
After working with this book for most of a year, I found that it had transformed my idea and attitude of what a workout can be. Now I have complete flexibility to adapt my workouts to the changes in my schedule, equipment, and fitness. I now carry many routines in my head; the time-saver workout, varieties of pyramids, running and swimming.
