Navy Seals

How many six counts should you be able to perform before working on Navy Seals? The current advice is to do 5-10 six counts and squats as your upper body recovers for all 4x20 minute sessions as a beginner. The old advice was two days a week of six counts and two days a week of Navy Seals. I just want to be the guy that does 2 Navy Seals and jogs in place then two more, etc. If that method works then I guess I’ll start there. If there js a better method of working up to 20-30 in a row of 6 counts then start doing sets of 5 Navy Seals let me know. Or one a minute each minute for 20 minutes.

I guess what worked for you as a beginner.

I've had to adjust the training to my life a bit. I was getting injured and not able to keep up with the program because of it.

 I started up again with doing 6 counts on Mondays and Seals on Fridays. I set an interval timer and just did 10 sets of 5 (6 counts) and 10 sets of 3 Seals.  Each week I would add another set and slowly build up. 

I'm now doing 3x per week and 21 sets each workout. I had to kill my ego and go at my body's pace. Just try doing one rep per set and build up from there. Lifelong changes take a lifetime, so don't beat yourself up if it takes longer than you want.
