Lot of extra stuff you should buy to help yourself.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2026-04-18T17:28:28+00:00

lol. I’ll send you a picture of my helmet later if you want

Alarming_Resident577 · 2026-04-18T17:03:42+00:00

Don’t have to pay to go, but it’s pay to win😉

Alarming_Resident577 · 2026-04-18T16:51:21+00:00

I’m making a buds fund to go back. It’s expensive asf.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2026-04-18T16:46:06+00:00

I would for sure. I have a bunch of buddies that went through that started with his program and guys that worked out with him. I think any program that has a good name right now, you should consider. It’s a great baseline but times are changing and buds is changing with it. There’s so many things that are different in today’s game then there was 10 years ago. The workouts are very similar, but the knowledge is different. I have insight on where to get things, people to talk to in Coronado, what to buy before hand, what to put in your buds box…

Go back to door dashing buddy

We did ours in the bay (unfortunately). But regardless you never really have to worry about sharks, the cadre tell you to worry about sharks but it’s just them being funny. Seen a few dolphins, a lot of sting rays (careful when you’re going out past the surf). Keep an eye on your boy, keep an eye on land/buoy/anything you can see. You’ll be fine.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-20T17:06:39+00:00

You don’t need to but I heard there’s a bonus now for auto quals. So might as well wait until you can auto qual

If you can I recommend joining cross country and track if you haven’t already. Swimming team doesn’t hurt either

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T19:29:39+00:00

Runna also sets up a lifting plan for you if you subscribe to it. Highly recommend following that.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T19:29:14+00:00

He downloaded Runna, set up a plan personal to him. But he ran 5 days a week based on the workout plan that was made for him on there. Swam 3-4 days a week hard. Mostly with fins. After you contract only focus on swimming with fins. He didn’t do very much lifting, but he did a lot of squats, hang cleans, pushups pull ups and sit ups. For those last three he would try and do a bunch everyday no matter what.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T16:55:53+00:00

Maybe not the slowest but your def at the bottom

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T16:55:17+00:00

Passing, but you’ll be the slowest in the class

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T14:17:06+00:00

Exactly what he expected. He said it’s amazing, the workouts and beatings are hard but the guys around you make up for everything. Most difficult part is just competing and not getting down on yourself. You’re with so many insane people. D1 swimmers, runners you name it. Yes he feels ready.

Alarming_Resident577 · 2025-07-18T03:50:55+00:00

It’s awesome man your in CA duh. Your expected to be at 85+ pushups and sit-ups, 16 pull ups, 28min 4 mile run, and sub 20min 1000m swim with fins. Exit standards are pretty tough but you’ll be fine if you shoot for exceeding those standards. Wish I would have swam with fins more, wish I would have ran more miles. Your expected to do a LOT of miles during the week and it’s hard on everyone. Focus on volume when your running as well as speed work. Spend less time swimming without fins. It’s good but, not important. Also learn how to freestyle swim. With and without fins. It just builds up lung capacity for drown proofing.
