Wednesday and Friday

Wednesday's training would have been Deadlift for 3x5 and Friday would have been bench for 3x5 with accessory work done the same as the past.

A word now on programs that claim to prepare the athlete for "anything". No one can write a exercise regimen to prepare people for anything that life throws at them, it's actually starting to get irritating to claim they can. For one its rather meaningless to try to train that way because what would you do, mix workouts with skills like repairing a car and pull-ups? Baking biscuits and running? See where this is going, there's no point. However by following this blog a very strong base of general strength and conditioning will be built and this can be applied to work, play and life. We have won wars, police and firefighters have effectively done their jobs by training generally and then practicing the skills for their jobs to prepare for the worst. Other trainers have said that by separating strength and conditioning we are building a segmented capacity for each i.e. our bodies won't be able to combine the two if a situation arises that the two would be needed at the same time. This is completely wrong, our bodies are not dumb and will do whats necessary to survive and win.



Being in excellent shape is the support system for these agents. Their core skills of shooting, moving and effectively working as a team is what's going to bring these boys home.
