Yeah they do that for a few years, having already started in excellent physical condition, and then they accumulate so many injuries from the training they get medically retired or rotate out of special forces (ruck marches for general infantry cause so many injuries it's a wonder they haven't phased them out entirely).

It's simply not sustainable for even the top 1% of people.

One of the biggest parts of a training regimen that is commonly overlooked is how to train without injuring yourself and setting yourself back in the long run. Slow and steady really does win the race with physical training. If you get an injury that keeps you from training for 4 months, you don't just lose that 4 months' worth of gains, you get set back however many more months it'll take to rehab and get back to the point where you got injured. And some injuries are just straight up permanent and put a hard cap on future gains.

The military gets around this by recruiting a new batch for the meat grinder every year and just quietly retiring all the broken fucks after their enlistments.
