Q & A 6.27.25

Q: I’m a National Guard soldier out of Montana. Currently forward deployed with 19th SFG (A). Looking at making the jump to become a Green Beret. I have a tentative SFRE date in Utah on November 7. That’s 20 weeks. I am looking at your SFAS Training Program, and want to know if I were to purchase it, what would the order of workouts be? Looking for guidance on how to order it correctly to get the best bang for my buck. Thank you much, I look forward to hearing back from you.

A: We have a specific SFRE Plan. I’d recommend it for SFRE, then doing the SFAS plan prior to SFAS when you get that date. With 20 weeks, here’s specifically what I recommend. I’m assuming you’re fit now.

Weeks.      Plan
1-7             Valor
8-13           Fortitude (first 6 weeks of this 7 week plan)
14-20         SFRE Training Plan
Post SFRE take a full week’s rest, then either drop into the Plans/Order in the Greek Hero training packet or subscribe to and complete the Daily Operator programming.
8 weeks out from SFAS, drop out of the Greek Hero Plans or Daily Operator and complete the Ruck Based Selection Training Plan the 8 weeks directly before SFAS.
You can also complete the Ruck Based Selection Training Plan before SFRE if you want to …. it will just overprepare you, which is okay. In that case, shorten Fortitude to 5 weeks so you can complete the full 8 weeks prior to SFRE.

Q: Why is in the KSK Program no Squat Benchpress or any BB and DB Work?

A: Our selection training plans are not general fitness training. They are designed specifically for the fitness demands of selection and are laser focused on the fitness demands at selection.

Selections are endurance events, not power lifting competitions.
MTI’s tactical “base fitness) programming, overall, has extensive free-weight based strength training. “Base Fitness” is our day to day fitness for tactical athletes. Training for a selection isn’t day to day training – it’s event specific.
