All in all, while you do need to be very physically prepared, as others have said, it's mostly mental and the absolute toughest parts of it are not something that you can train or really even prepare for. Another thing to keep in mind is that the SEALs have around an 80% washout rate, so you may want to have a backup MOS in mind just in case (not saying you're going to fail, but it's always wise to be prepared for all conceivable scenarios). As long as you're mentally and physically tough enough and you are doing it for the right reasons, you stand a good chance. Good Luck.

I actually have still incorporated OHP in my workouts with a large log. One of the biggest training tools are these large telephone poles which numerous guys will lift, walk with, press, sit ups with. I have a 95 pound log i do drills with. Deadlifts are a different story i dont have any weights but if you have any suggestions im sure i could modify something. And about the backup MOS im looking into intel or working into the legal field JAG assistant, paralegal until i get my education then transfer out go to law school and come back as a JAG officer. But id much rather become a seal.
