Customer Reviews

Eh.
This book is worth buying only for Stew Smith's workouts. I personally liked the Army stuff the most of anyting he's done(which isn't available in the other books). It's basic, simple bodyweight exercise for the most part. Running, rucking, swimming, rope climbing, and lots of cals.

My complaint was with Mejia's "SOCOM" workouts. They're the kind of trendy stuff that Smith wisely eschews in all of his other books. The pictures are...unmotivational. (If I wanted to look like that guy, I'd buy a cookbook instead of a workout book)

Better than expected...
This book contains a wealth of information that any hopeful for SOCOM would be a fool to miss out on. The men that wrote this book know what they are talking about. Stew Smith has not only completed BUD/S himself, he has helped countless others do the same thing. If you really want to be an "operator" then buy the book, and DO WHAT IT SAYS. It can't do the work for you, but it will show you what you need to do.

LIke the other books in teh series, a harcore workout
This book was just as good of a workout as the other books in the series. I did not get it for the advice, or even for the verbatim workouts. The workouts make a nice base for creating your own. But, the workouts are great just as they are. The four different six week workouts are nice for the variety.
