The creator of Terminator Training Method, Kevin Smith, has been lifting weights and chasing peak performance for the past 17 years, the last 11 of which spent as a member of the US Army Special Forces. His obsession with strength and conditioning, nutrition, health improvement, and personal development have driven him to begin his own journey in the fitness industry. This podcast will include information and conversation on a wide variety of topics, including strength training, endurance training and conditioning, nutrition (for performance, body composition, and health), habit formation, and how to optimize your life. If you're sick of being misinformed or mislead, and interested in leveling up, this is the podcast for you.

Top 5 Reasons SFAS Candidates Fail (Ep. 215)
2026/06/26
In this episode, I break down the five most common reasons candidates fail SFAS selection and what you can do to avoid making the same mistakes. We cover fitness preparation, land navigation, team week, mental fortitude, and attention to detail—five areas that repeatedly separate selected candidates from those who get dropped. Need a proven SFAS preparation plan? Check out the TTM SFAS Prep Program and Development Plan Designed specifically for SFAS candidates with structured training for running, rucking, calisthenics, carries, strength, and endurance so you can show up prepared—not guessing.
