The SF45 Training plans contains the first four plans in MTI’s SF45 programming library: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta.
“SF45” is an acronym for “Strength and Fitness 45” and this programming is designed for older tactical and other high impact athletes in the 45-50 age range. SF45 Programming has the following general characteristics:
Below are some key programming principles for SF45 Programming:
- No 1RM (1 repetition max Strength Efforts)
- Loaded deep squatting emphasizes full range of motion overloading
- Avoids super intense, high impact work capacity efforts
- No max-effort endurance efforts. Endurance efforts are completed at a “moderate” pace
- Shorter (45-minute), efficient training sessions
- Designed to build and maintain foundational “base fitness” for older athletes.
- 5 day/week training plan
Four SF45 plans are included in this packet: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta.
Each SF45 plan is a 5x/week, 7 week training plan. Week 7 of each plan is an unload week, so the plans may be run back-to-back.
