PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This 6-week bodyweight training program is designed for fit athletes interested in bodyweight-focused training. You’ll train six days a week for six weeks, totaling 36 training sessions. Training sessions are scheduled for Monday through Saturday. Sundays are rest days.
This is a total body strength and conditioning training program. It includes bodyweight strength training (upper, lower, core), intense work capacity efforts, and tactical-inspired endurance (running and ruck running).
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
- Wrist watch with stopwatch and interval timer (Timex Ironman is best)
- Pull Up Bar
- 20” Plyo Box
- 24” Plyo Box
- Set of Rings or a Suspension Training System (TRX, etc.)
- Backpack or Ruck + 40 pounds of filler for Ruck Runs
- Optional – GPS Watch – this will make running and ruck running distances easy.
SESSION TYPES
Again – this is a total body strength and conditioning program, which deploys three types of session types:
(1) Strength/Work Capacity/Core – These Hybrid Sessions begin with focused strength training, followed by a 5, 10 or 15 minute hard work capacity effort, and finish with a core/mobility circuit.
(2) Work Capacity/Core – Longer work capacity effort (20-30 minutes) followed by an long core-strength grind. You’ll finish with some durability/mobility work.
(3) Endurance – We deploy two general endurance sessions. For rucking running, your focus will be improving “Speed over Ground.” Week 1, you’ll take a 3-mile ruck run assessment. Then once per week, you’ll complete, hard, fast 1-mile ruck run intervals based on you assessment completion time. For running, you’ll complete long, slow runs at an easy pace. You’ll complete long runs (8-10 miles) on Saturdays during the plan.
STRENGTH SESSION PROGRESSON
The challenge with bodyweight training is to move beyond high rep strength endurance, to actually train strength, without deploying exotic, gymnastic-inspired exercises. This plan approaches this challenge with three specific strength training approaches:
(1) Concentric Strength using suspension training to increase intensity. (Weeks 1-2)
(2) Eccentric Strength using suspension training to increase intensity. (Weeks 3-4)
(3) Explosive Strength Training (Weeks 5-6)
