QUESTION
I am a current LEO trying to train for the FBI SA test . Oddly enough I’m pretty solid on my pushups and situps . I’m trying to get back into the running . Is there a program that will mix well with the lifting portion of the SA testing program you all have ? I am currently in the process so there’s really no deadline as of yet . But improvement is key for me. I do want to continue lifting as well as working the SA fitness program. If you have any suggestions that would be great !

QUESTION
I hope you’re doing well. I’ve just completed the Bodyweight Foundation plan this week and I plan on starting the Apollo plan from the Greek Hero series next. I’m happy with the results of BW but I had a problem with the work capacity events because of limited available space at the gym, due to pandemic restrictions. I can see that Apollo uses runs/sprints as well and I’m wondering if there is an alternative circuit that I can complete inside of a 3x3m area with limited equipment only (pullup bar, box, kettlebells)?

I am a Civil Guard, it’s the equivalent to French Gendarmerie in Spain and I want to access to the UAR unit (Fast Action Unit). The unit is a strange special operation’s hibrid between a Law Enforcement SWAT and a military SO unit as the Rangers.
I need plans order for train for this unit and its selection.
The screening test have the following tests:
- Push-ups
- Pull-ups
- Horizontal jump
- Agility slalom
- Running -> 400m; 1000m; 8000m (all)
- 50m swimming
- 25m underwater swim test apnea (Doesn’t score)
- Balance test (It’s easy) (Doesn’t score)
The course is essentially military and only for selection (the technical preparation is in the unit) , but has four phases. One of pure selection, the central phase that is in land, one water phase for two weeks (helicopter jump, swimming with fins…) and parachute automatic jump course. And yes, has a few rucking events.
My weight and my height it’s 176cm for the height and 65Kg for the weight. I have experience with crossfit and calistenic tecniques, but I lost my physical form in the academy, that I should train for 0.

QUESTION
Former AD Marine and longtime MA fan… Scored a decent sized set of KBs last year and have really enjoyed the different focus/effects of KB training. Really enjoyed the KB TLU cycle. Wondering how to implement more of a hypertrophy focus into KB training. Is it as simple as changing the weight/rep scheme in that same TLU program, or should I look more to just modify the exercises from your exisiting hypertrophy program?
Thanks for all you guys do to keep our folks combat ready.
