Seal Workout - Weights in Schedule I/II

[madh]

I am presently doing the Seal Workout according to The U.S. Navy Seals Workout Guide by Command Master Chief Dennis C. Chalker and U.S.N.(Ret) Kevin Dockery. I plan to, in the future, enlist in the forces and hope to try out for BUD/S someday. Before I began this workout, I had been lifting weights consistently for a few years. In schedule I and II, there is no weight-training workout listed. Weight-training shows up in Schedule III. My question is should I do the workout exactly how it is printed in Schedule I and II, without weight-training, for optimum results? Or should I lift weights along with Schedule I and II? Which would be more beneficial for me in terms of strength and endurance?

Schedule I/II - Mainly pushups, pull-ups, dips , sit-ups, running, swimming (18 weeks combined)

Thanks,

Madhavan

Since you will not lift weights in BUDs - you should only focus on the PT,run and swim parts of the workout. Otherwise you run the risk of overtraining and injuring yourself. Weight training is valuable but can wait until you are in the teams (or not!) so I would not try to do it all.
