Hello All,
I am new here. I'm a Law Enforcement Officer who will be attending a SWAT Level 1 Course in March. I have decided to use the Law Enforcement Prep plan to get ready. I will follow this plan to the letter.
My Maxes will be determined this weekend and I will begin next week. The results of each workout will be posted here.

Beusutton, welcome to the forum. PPLE is NOT for SWAT or Tier 1/2 selection. It's for
entry-level law enforcement PFT and academy fitness. I recommend using TBI & II instead.

I will take your advice but could you explain what the differences between the programs would be? I know thats a loaded question.

I just need the best ideas to get in shape for this and I have 10-12 weeks to do it.

What is the testing you need to pass? Can you do it easily or do you need to train for specific events?
What is your background?
Strength and weaknesses?
Lift totals aren't that important depending on the testing.
12 weeks isn't a long time if you are coming off the couch.
12 weeks is ok if you are a in good physical shape and have a test or two you struggle with.
Read the faq in the strength/conditioning sub forum and post your info and question using that.
TB1 and TB2 would be a good purchase if you only have the PPLE book, but in truth I have never read it.
