Question I found your information online after speaking with my commander.  He recommended that I check out your Ranger School Training Plan, which looks promising.  My only concern is that I wouldn’t be able to follow it strictly because I would be either (a) doing collective PT in the morning (probably focused on running) or […]

Kudos I wanted to thank you for the free holiday workouts.  Between my core duty requirements combined with some K9 training of a very busy Belgian Malinois, coupled with a very costly club volleyball season for my daughter, the “Free” and the no gym required part were an awesome way to actively get through the holidays with no excuses.  […]

Kudos I previously completed On-ramp twice (second time with more running), 357 Strength+Run Improvement (alternating days), then your chassis integrity sessions from the subscription, before moving onto Fortitude.  For someone as unfit as I was, I strongly recommend this or a similar progression of programs for true beginners.  It built everything nicely to begin Fortitude.

Question We had spoken recently about the Ruck Based Selection Plan and how to best implement it for me. Recently I have changed gears because my unit has floated out the idea of sending me to Ranger School, so I purchased the APFT Improvement Plan to try and get the best score possible and “convince” […]

I’m a skier and have been training at a Crossfit gym in VT; after reading the article, I’ve integrated the LB regimen into my weekly training. I can feel that it is a positive addition to my […]
