Presents the training techniques of pararescuemen and combat control technicians of the U.S. Air Force. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read through all the reviews before ordering this book & came to the conclusion that either the wrong people are enlisting in the military or people are selecting the wrong Military Occupational Specialty. After about five minutes I had my personal fitness plan custom tailored to my needs. Where the confusion lies I don't know. Within half an hour all the stretches and exercises were committed to memory thanks to the excellent photgraphs and text. If anyone buys this book and gives it a one star review all I can say is, ' Put down the Krispy Kreme, close the comic book & stop living behind internet bravado'. Besides, who better to look up to than PJs. These guys are real American heroes. They get into the thick of it and save lives, not take them. PJs are way cool. People are always drooling over Navy SEALs but all it takes is a six pack and the keys to your car to be as dangerous of a threat to others. Know what I'm saying?

The Extreme Workout
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this book hoping to get information that taught me a little something about PJ's and what they go through to become one. And it full-filled my needs and exceeded my expectations. I am now on my second week of training with their workout plan and I am loving it and experiencing the change. Thanks
Excellent place to start...

During my first year of AFROTC, we worked out to the above mentioned 12 Weeks to BUDS. That was grueling in and of itself. I purchased this book to prepare for field training, and so far it's pretty decent. People have complained "where's the workout" - it says in the book that they compiled the information so you can mix and match a workout that is good for you. And you don't have to be a physical trainer to do this - the sets are there, the combinations of exercises are there - you simply have to do them. Finish this workout COMPLETELY and I guarentee the book will live up to what it says "you will be in the best shape of your life." Oh, and don't forget the running...
A tough workout for a tougher course!

I attended the PJ/CCT Indoc course and boy, do I wish that I'd had this book to prepare me for it! This really is the toughest training in the world, and this is truly a man's workout. SSgt. Alexander, former PJ of the year, is one of the demonstrators in this book. He was a member of the Air Force's Team Tier One in the Discovery Channel's Eco Challenge. These men know how to work out, and now so can you.
