crash Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 military workouts such as the seals are more body weight oriented, but they also include 2-5 mile runs on a daily basis, 1/2 mile swims, rope climbs, repelling,obstacle courses and so forth, not to mention what you gain during regular daily training from 5-10 mile recons while carring 120 lb rucks, or constant swimming from waterborne op's. I was in the military for 5 years with an airborne infantry, and a l.r.s ranger unit and we still hit the gym/weights on a daily basis unless we were in the field. the calisthenics are good for keeping toned and keeping up strength but for building mass, weights are the best way.
