Thanks K.B.! And yes during base I definitely noticed that I was lacking in my aerobic capacity and don't regret the short break from the weights one bit. My running has been taken to the next level actually, just from the added structure of E work and running during base. Forgot to log yesterday, w...

80% 3x5 FSQ OHP WPUs. Weights felt pretty heavy, definitely lost some strength. Not a big deal compared to how conditioned I am right now, and barbell training isn't a high priority for me anyways. After hitting the weights I got in the pool and did a hypoxic swim ladder, and 200 meters sidestroke. ...

4 mile ruck today with the girlfriend and dog. Nice weather.

A.M. Training: 70% 3x5 FSQ OHP, and two work sets of DL in place of WPUs today. Weights felt good, things are starting to feel right again in the weight room. P.M. Training: Little evening swim session, nothing too challenging. Did half of a hypoxic swim ladder. Practiced the sidestroke and breastst...

Thanks grouchy!

Today has been super busy. I'm a senior in high school and tonight I'm graduating. Actually, in about 3 hours the ceremony starts. Anyway, I managed to get in a little 2 mile ruck at 40#. Planned on a 4 miler but not all always goes as planned. Rucked in the rain on hilly and sandy terrain in new bo...

Nice 400m swim for today's training. Immediately after the swim did a 15 minute tread alternating hands out of the water. Finished the session off with some bobs and underwater swimming.

Today's training consisted of two sessions. A.M. 4 mile run. First mile was way to fast, but felt damn good, ran a 6:45. Second mile was around 8 minutes and I kept that 8-9 minute pace throughout. Pretty okay conditioning session. P.M. Training consisted of my first session back on the weights in a...

Glad you started a log. Good cluster. Not many people here do TB exactly as written lol. That's the beauty of it, you can adapt it to your goals. Thanks G2B, and you're right. That is the beauty of the system. I always wondered how I could balance strength work with conditioning to be good at both....

So, I've just completed base building and have exactly 7 weeks before I ship out to boot camp for the Marine Corps with an infantry contract. Previously before finding tactical barbell, the majority of my training was military athlete. However, I had always wanted to learn how to program for myself ...
