    Expanded, updated second edition

    The second edition of the book includes 125 pages of new content, including expanded chapters on running, rucking, swimming, water confidence, strength training, work capacity, breathing, and building workouts. 

    For the past 10 years, Craig Weller and Jonathan Pope have trained people for the toughest SOF selection courses in the world. They've trained candidates for courses in every branch of the U.S. military, as well as five other countries, including British SAS selection.

    Their clients have a 90% success rate, which means 9 of 10 people make it through. (BUD/S and SFAS have drop-out rates ranging from 60-90%, FYI.)

    In Building the Elite, they give a detailed look at their SOF training system - from big-picture principles to practical exercises and programming guidelines.

      Unlike anything I’ve ever read

      I’m not in the military or striving for any SOF position, but some of the best humans I know were in those positions. I wanted to understand the training that helped to guide them and learn how to implement those skill sets in my life. This book is so much more than an understanding. It is an in-depth guide far better than any text I’ve read about strength and conditioning. They break complex topics into relatable situations (and are pretty funny.) It’s enjoyable to read and more than that it’s applicable. You feel confident in applying the concepts they’re writing about in your life - in and outside the gym. Pair the book with the app and it’s the best coaching out there.

      I’m also in school for psychology and I’ve been reading this text along with my other books… I wish everyone wrote their textbooks like these guys do. I know I’ll end up citing this book in a paper.

      And lastly, anyone who is a coach or fighter in the martial arts world - 1000% should read this.

      Just buy it.
