Physical Training Guidelines


The Naval Special Warfare Physical Training Guide (NSW PTG)
exists to provide guidance regarding physical preparation for
NSW-NSO programs such as BUD/S or BCT. The PTG provides a
specific program for preparing for the Physical Screening Test
(PST) along with more general fitness advice to promote
endurance, strength, and resistance to injury once a candidate
has received a contract. This Physical Training Guide
Supplement provides additional guidance for developing a
strength program. Key points:
• Keep it simple
• Use proper technique (get coaching from qualified sources
if necessary)
• Develop the whole body, especially the parts known to be
vulnerable to injury
This illustrated guide provides details regarding which areas of
the body should be targeted for training. There are examples of
exercises that target these areas, but recognize this is not meant
to be a definitive list and many other exercises may be used if
they target the proper areas. For more detailed discussion of
concepts such as sets, reps, frequency of training, split routines,
etc. – please consult SEALSWCC.com:

Another excellent resource that includes a wide variety of


exercises appropriate for this program is the Navy Operational
Fueling & Fitness System (NOFFS):
