QUESTION
I’m a male federal law enforcement officer and AF reserve EOD tech who fell off the fitness bandwagon over the last year and a half and have started with the LE on ramp program. I’ve had to scale push-ups and pull-ups back because I was really struggling with the volume. I ended up repeating week 1 and week 2 twice each but I am still having a hard time with pull-up progression. Do I keep repeating while trying to get back into the prescribed rep scheme, continue moving forward while scaling pull ups, or stop the upper body portion and sub it for the push/pull improvement plan?

QUESTION
Sorry to bother you. So I’m a police officer & I train BJJ. I’ve been doing the spirits pack. I’m thinking if switching to the action hero pack. Do you think this would be more conducive to a guide me that trains BJJ but also wants to work out in addition? I’m trying to decide if I should just stick with the spirits or if the action hero would be a better fit for me. Thanks a lot!
