Zulu HT is done! I like this block! Peaking week got me tired, though. I had to drop secondary exercises some days. Doing 6 reps for 75% weeks felt challenging for some reasons.. And 10 reps for both squat and DL?? Ouch... ;) Into deload week now. Holidays deload. ..I am going to binge food and dri...

Thanks for the above advice on measuring distance for some of my sprints.


Just finished BB. I'm feeling really good and looking forward to a much deserved cheat meal this evening. Will be running Operator/Black. I'll try to check in periodically but can't make any promises.

From a purely athletic standpoint, I would say flat bench press is very low on the priority. In terms of ''pushing'' movements, I'd probably rate it as follow (YMVR): Press > Dips > Incline > Flat. I think a good way to progress could be to cycle through it, say your Flat 1 RM is 300, then you woul...

Has anybody ever ran a block with incline bench press instead of traditional flat bench press? I think this could be an interesting approach for those torn between flat bench and OHP.... although there is only a small amount of overlap between the two exercises. The idea came to me today when I was ...

Why not both? Activities from "Green" are similar to E sessions while those from "Black" are similar to HIC. So if you're running black do something from Green on your E day and use something from Black on most of the days when doing HIC. If you are LEO or military I'd suggest do...

Regarding time in the weight room, this morning's workout (which was operator week 1) took only 23 minutes. I like it. That's real fast....but I bet you got a lot of good quality work in. A tid bit for Knollkopp : I've found that most of my "wasted time" in the gym comes down to doing too...

Week 6 Day 2 (of BB) Started to do Connaught 10 to 1's and after 10 burpees and a sprint decided that the easy version 5 to 1's was a better idea. Took me about 6 minutes 30 seconds. I really want to get better at these and was glad nobody was around to see me struggling. I don't have access to a tr...

Are you military or LEO? One of the BIGGEST things I see when it comes to first aid is officers/Marines/soldiers/sailors etc. NOT being super familiar with everything inside of the IFAK. As a matter of fact, I'm sort of guilty of this myself and will double check my stuff after posting this. So mayb...

Week 5 Finished Week 6 Day 1 (MS with Fighter) Completed 4 sets and all 5 reps for my cluster of BO, Squat, and WPU (just bodyweight now at 75% of my max). I did feel a slight pain in my left knee while squatting. Not bad enough to stop me or make me feel like I was in trouble...but enough for me to...
