Description

BIG 24 STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM

This 5-week training program is designed to add significant strength to athletes without significant weight gain. It is our most intense and successful program for building strength. Big 24 has been improved and updated multiple times.

This is Version 5, updated October 2024.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Big 24 is a progressive, intense, 5-week, 5 days/week gym-based training program.

This training program can be completed in a commercial gym with basic free weight equipment.

The program is built around these exercises:

  • Back Squat – One of the key lifts to build strength. High bar or low bar doesn’t matter, pick one and be consistent.
  • Hinge Lift – MTI’s version of the classic Dead Lift.
  • Thurster – Simple, Total Body Strength Movement with a Power Component.
  • Military Press -Classic upper body vertical pressing strength exercise.
  • Bench Press – Classic upper body horizongal pressing strength exercise.
  • Weighted Pull Ups (men) – Builds upper body pulling strength.

The power of Big 24 comes through these exercises and a simple but aggressive progression. The name “Big 24” is derived from the number of total reps you will perform for most of these exercises during the training sessions, except for Thruster and Pull Ups

During the Lower/Total Body Big 24 training sessions, you will do 8 sets of 3 reps (24 reps total) of Back Squat and Hinge Lift, and 8 sets of 2 reps of the Thruster.

During the Upper Body Big 24 training sessions, you will do 8 sets of 3 reps (24 reps total) of and Bench Press and Military Press, and MTI’s proven density programming for the pull ups.

As you work through the program, be sure not to push the loading progression. Be patient, not greedy, and complete the training sessions as prescribed. By the end of the second week, you’ll find working through  Big 24 is like going to battle with the barbell. It is very intense.

Also, don’t skip ahead. Complete the training sessions in order.

Finally, the training plan also includes a mid-week, short, 30-minute, recovery run or spin.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE

  • Monday – Back Squat, Dead Lift, Thruster
  • Tuesday – Bench Press, Weighted Pull Up (men), Military Press
  • Wednesday – 30-Minute Recovery Run or Spin
  • Thursday – Back Squat, Dead Lift, Thruster
  • Friday – Bench Press, Weighted Pull Up (men), Military Press

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

This plan can be completed in any commercial gym with barbells, a rack, bench and pull up bar.  You’ll also need a backpack and 15# of plates for the weighted pull ups (men only, – women perform pull ups unloaded).

COMMON QUESTIONS

How long should the training sessions take?
40-75 minutes.

What if I can’t keep up the Monday to Friday Training Schedule?
If for any reason you cannot keep this Monday-Friday training schedule, do not skip a training session. Rather, complete all the training sessions in succession. Whatever the schedule, always take two days a week, ideally together, as total rest.

What if I’m a rookie at barbell strength training?
The exercises deployed in Big 24 are technically simple. You’ll be fine.

What about unfamiliar exercises?
Learn them or brush up here: http://mtntactical.com/category/exercises/

What about my diet?
Eating well does not take rocket science. It takes discipline. Here are our recommended diet guidelines:

6 days/week – eat as much meat, vegetables, fruit, seeds and nuts as you want – no restriction. Drink only water, coffee or tea. Do not eat bread, pasta, or grain of any kind, no potatoes, corn or other starchy vegetables. No sugar, candy, soda or alcohol.

1 day/week – cheat like a mother. Eat/drink anything you want.

What about supplements?
We don’t take them. If you, we’d recommend only drinking a 20-30 gram, low carb, whey protein shake after training.

Good luck!

Testimonials




I wanted to start off by thanking you for your Big 24 plan; it has been the most successful training I’ve ever done. I ran it in August, and now I’m halfway through it a second time.

Some of my progress from August to this halfway point:
Back squat 3rm: 180lbs->235. 1rm 185->245
Hang squat clean 2rm: 125lbs->160
Bench press 3rm: 120lbs->145. 1rm 130lbs->155
Push press 2rm: 110lbs->135

"I transitioned to your plans around the time that COVID hit because as a combat arms officer, they strike the right balance of strength, work capacity, and endurance. I find your plans much more relatable to my job requirements than any other CrossFit based plans such as CompTrain or Brute Body. I think a lot of these plans try to achieve other goals. I have had very positive results and experiences with your Big 24 based plans and your Bodyweight Foundation Plan.

I had taken a break due to training requirements from heavy barbell work and through the Big 24 based plan (canvas I think?) I was able to get back a good 30lbs per lift.

In November I deployed and went through a 33-day quarantine, which initially was thought to be only 14 days. I transitioned to the Bodyweight Foundation Plan and I have to say that despite no control over what the army was feeding me, I maintained good muscular endurance and was able to get back some mileage that I had not done in a while. I maybe lost a little bit of top end strength once I had a barbell but not as much as if I would’ve done another program.

I have recommended your Athlete's Subscription to several members of my unit and a few have become new subscribers. Your constant tweaking of the plans and mini studies are great and I can’t wait to start another plan now that I have more access to equipment.


Thank you Rob and team for providing a great variety of plans that fit my varying equipment availability."








*****************************




Pretty great program.
I started with Bench: 245X3 Press: 145X3 Squat: 300X3 and Squat Clean: 185X3

I ended up with 270 bench, 165 press, and 215 squat clean. I was a little interested in why the deadlifts were not incorporated but other than that the Big 24 program really helps increase strength.






*****************************





This programming is the best and most encompassing I have ever done. My numbers have skyrocketed across the board. I was most impressed by my large strength gains in Big24 particularly on my pull-ups. I ended the program being able to do as many with a 25lb plate as I could do strict/raw before. Humility was great too but very challenging. Definitely helped get rid of unnecessary weight and drastically increased my work capacity. Thank you for the great programming, timely answers to my questions, easy to use website and I will definitely continue to use your site and programming in the future. Thank you.

*****************************





I just finished the Big 24 today.  I must say that it was the most intense strength training I've ever done.  Around week 4 it was becoming a little boring and redundant but I stuck with it lol.  There was a definite difference in how my body responded during the first half vs. the last half.  I found that I had to adjust the weight in order to make the reps for some of the lifts, specifically squats and bench.  After the second assessment I had to adjust weight on bench and push press.  My lower body seemed to adapt much better to the regimen than my upper.  As such I made the biggest gains in my lower body, 35 pound increase with squats, 45 pound with lunges, and 30 pounds with hang squat cleans.  My upper body showed smaller increases but I did get stronger.  I gained 15 pounds in bench, 20 pounds with push press, and I don't really know how to measure it but I got 12 pull ups with 15 pounds on the first assessment and 15 pull ups with 25 pounds today.  Speaking of pull ups, 30-40% was way too easy for me and so I went up in reps, as much as 65% of my max during the workouts.  I'm 42 years old, 5'7", around 170 and I need to lose a few pounds around my middle, however, I'm pleased with my results.  My partner is 29, 6'00", around 180, and not an ounce of fat on him.  Interestingly enough, although he's stronger than me his average gains were the same as mine, around 30 pounds, give or take.  The shuttle runs and core work were fine and broke up the week.  I'm definitely interested in more of that kind of work.


My results are as follows:


squat: 295 lbs increase to 330 lbs
lunges: 85 lb dumbbell to 100 lb dumbbell with 15 pound sandbag across shoulders (100 is the heaviest dumbbells we have)
hang squat cleans: 175 lbs to 205 lbs
bench: 235 lbs to 250 lbs
pull ups: see above
push press: 180 lbs to 200 lbs


By the way the hang squat clean and push press are hellacious lifts that I've only rarely done but I'm very interested in them now.  After resting for the remainder of this week I want to do the relative strength assessment and see where I'm at and later try Operator Ugly.  My partner and I are Deputy U.S. Marshals and practical, functional training is very important to us.  I'd like to come by your gym one of these days but in the mean time I think I will be working on the "Spirits" package.  I'd hate to lose the strength gains I've made but I know my anaerobic capacity and endurance needs beefing up.  You had recommended that package to accomplish this and after my success with the Big 24 I am much more open to structured programming.  Thanks and take care.





*****************************



I've seen awesome improvement under big 24. Below are the improvements I have seen, I can't speak more highly about this program.


Hang squat clean

Original: 160# New: 225#

Back squat

Original: 250# New: 295#

Bench press:

Original: 215# New: 285#


I will recommend this to all of my friends, thanks for the great workouts.

I just finished your Big 24. I haven't trained since last Christmas! So needless to say, it was an awful 4 weeks. I started completely out of shape! I warmed up on the lower body days with the barbell complex, the 36 reps, and replaced walking lunges with Hinge Lifts (I pulled my groin in the past doing lunges), and did Hang Cleans second before Hinge Lifts, and did them on the minute, so a total of 9 minutes.
I started with my 3 RM as follows: BP 205, Squat 205, DL 295, Hang cleans 165, push press 165 (that was very hard, not very doable). I dropped 20 at 1st week, and went up 10 each week (because I messed up the math!).


Here's my 1 RM test yesterday: Squats 315, BP 265 (always been my weakest, and currently the least improvement), Hinge Lifts 405 ( highest ever in my life), pull up was BW+35 @ 7 reps. I also leaned up greatly using your recommended diet. I'm trying to lose weight, but it was hard while I added so much muscles, still lost about 6 Lb. I'm sitting at 190Lb, 5'7.5". Thank you so much for the Big24. I put in the effort, you put in the brains and experience, and I say it was a success. Looking forward to a long and fruitfull struggle with your operator sessions.

*****************************

 

From this passing strength cycle I got 285# HSC at a body weight of 185# for the 10-09-13 session. I exceeded my PR Squat Clean of 275#. I can honestly feel comfortable saying from the ground I can get 295#-305#. This Big 24 was a no shitter. Love it. Thanks.  -- S

 

*****************************

I recently finished up the Big 24 Strength Plan and it was dead on. I made substatial gains in all the lifts involved, and the weighted calistenics always challenged me. I doubled up the Big 24 with the Core Strength 1 plan and the two really seemed to work well with each other. I have done the Core Strength plan twice now and have always enjoyed it. Each time I complete it, I can definitely feel the strength carry over to everything else that I do.

I am currently heading into the second week of the 369 plan, and I’m finding it to be a real smoker. Its reminded me how much my work capacity has taken a hit in the last few months. Its turning out to be exactly what I need. I would also like to state, that the transition from Big 24 into 369 has been very smooth. The two programs are terrific complements to each other.

Thanks for all the programming and always answering my questions,

1)  Mission Direct

Gym numbers mean nothing. All that matters is mission performance. 

To this end, MTI’s fitness solutions and programming are not boxed in by convention, tradition, orthodoxy, public opinion or any other artificial constraint driven by inside or outside forces.

We begin with the raw fitness demands of the mission and build a fitness solution which directly prepares the athlete for those demands.

 

2) Fitness Solutions Built from the Ground Up

MTI’s programming is not “re-tread” bodybuilding, football, CrossFit, kettlebell, strength or general fitness programming. We’ve built our fitness programming for mountain and tactical athletes from the ground up.

The Fluid Periodization methodology we deploy to concurrently train multiple fitness attributes is completely original and has continued to evolve and improve over the years.

Our mid-section training methodology, Chassis Integrity, is also original, as is our endurance programming, 7 strength training progressions, tactical agility, and work capacity programming.

Our mountain sports pre-season training plans, tactical PFT, selection, school, course, and fitness improvement training plans across military, LE and Fire Rescue are MTI-developed, tested and athlete-proven.

Over the years hundreds of athletes and coaches have taken our advanced programming and unit fitness leader programming courses and MTI is widely recognized within the mountain and tactical professions and fitness media as a thought leader in fitness programming for military and tactical athletes.

 

3) The MTI Method

→ Research: MTI begins program design with extensive research of the fitness demands of the mission, sport or event, identifies the exercises and progressions which sport-specifically meet those demands, chose end-of-cycle goals, and program backward to design the training plan.

→ Deploy & Assess: We deploy the training plan “Lab Rats” at our Wyoming facility. Training session and cycle issues are identified and fixed as we work through the training plan. Post cycle we assess the programming’s effectiveness and efficiency. We keep the stuff that works, and fix or toss the stuff that doesn’t.

→ Publish & Assess Again: Plan is published for purchase as an individual training plan and made available to our subscribers. Feedback/results are assessed.

→ Iterate: We take what we learn from lab rats and athletes, re-visit, update and improve already published training plans. Several of our individual training plans are on their 4th or 5th version.

 

4) Mission-Direct Research

MTI exists to “Improve Mountain and Tactical Athletes mission performance and keep them safe.” To that end, we have developed a unique research methodology aimed at identifying real world areas of improvement and identifying immediately deployable mission-direct solutions. Click HERE to learn more about MTI’s Mission-Direct Research methodology, and Here to read about just few of our research efforts.

5) Field Proven

Our stuff works. Weekly we receive unsolicited reviews of our programming and testimonials to its effectiveness.

 

6) Programming Breadth

MTI’s library of 200+ sport-specific fitness plans for mountain and tactical athletes is unmatched. Resources range from specific programming for tactical special forces selections, to specific plans for climbing Rainier and Denali, to general fitness solutions such as running improvement, to post-rehab from injury.

Over the past decade, MTI has partnered with hundreds of athletes throughout their individual mountain and tactical careers, and provided fitness solutions as they face new mountain objectives, tactical schools, selections, PFTs and deployments, and came back from injury.

 

7) Worldwide Influence

Our work is not limited to US Athletes.

We’ve developed selection-specific training plans for Canadian, UK, Australian and German Special Forces Selections and worked with individual military personnel from Scandinavia, South, and Central America.

Canadian, Australian, UK and western European law enforcement and fire/rescue athletes have used MTI programming for mission-direct fitness.

On the mountain side, Alpinists from Japan to Slovakia have consulted with MTI and used MTI’s programming to prepare for mountain objectives.

 

8) Mission Performance beyond Fitness

MTI’s exists is to improve Mission Performance for mountain and tactical athletes and keep them safe. 

This focus on “mission direct” solutions, enhancements and improvements drives our work and research and extends beyond fitness solutions to include training, leadership, gear, team culture, and safety. 

Fitness is just one area of our work.

Our non-fitness research has included tactical cultures, combat uniforms, and gore-tex performance, and effect of stress on marksmanship.

Our work on defining what it means to be a Quiet Professional has had penetrating influence and driven healthy conversations with both mountain and tactical professionals.

 

9) Direct, Honest, Clear Answers

Since 2007 we’ve taken and answered dozens of questions weekly from mountain and tactical athletes. We’ve saved these individual Q&A’s and now thousands are archived on our site.

We’re not salesmen, and our answers are noted for their directness, honesty, and clarity. Our stuff isn’t for everyone. If we can help, we’ll let you know. If we can’t, we’ll let you know that, too.

All of the Above is Backed Up By Our Promise: Our Stuff Works. Guaranteed.

Our Stuff Works. Guaranteed.

By Rob Shaul

I received notes frequently from athletes hesitant to purchase a subscription or training plans asking me to sell them on why they should make the purchase.

While I understand the question, I’m not a salesman – so I can’t put a hard sale on anyone for our programming.

I can tell them the process we go through to design our programming.

We begin with extensive research on the fitness demands of the event, identify the exercises and progressions which sport specifically meet those demands, chose end-of-cycle goals, and program backward to design the plan.

Then we test the cycle on ourselves and our lab rats here in Wyoming. We document, note what works and doesn’t work, re-assess, and make changes and modifications.

Then we publish the programming in the form of one of our plans or as part of our subscription daily training sessions for tactical and mountain athletes.
We don’t stop there – our daily programming is the “tip of the spear” for our programming evolution. We use these sessions to learn and make continuous improvement.

As we learn more and improve, we go back, and update the sport-specific training plans on the website. For example, we’re currently on Version 5 of our Ruck Based Selection Training Plan and Version 3 of our Dryland Ski Training Plan and Version 4 of our Big Game Back Country Hunting Training Plan.

We understand our programing isn’t cheap, but we believe it’s a great value. The $79 for the Ruck Based Selection Training Plan, and $39 for the Dryland Ski Training Plan reflect the, research, work, innovative theory, iteration, testing and feedback we’ve put in and received to make these plans effective.

All that matters for us is outside performance, and we feel strongly that Our Stuff Works in the real world.

Here’s our guarantee:

1) Individual Training Plan Purchase:
If you purchase an individual training plan, follow it as prescribed before your season/event/pft/selection, and if you don’t feel you were physically ready for your season/event/pft/selection, and/or didn’t see dramatic improvements in your early season performance, we’ll refund your money, no questions asked.
