Description
Ruger is the 1st Plan in our “Gun Maker” packet of plans for full-time LE SWAT/SRT.
Ruger is a 7-week, 5 Day/week, training cycle with a slight strength emphasis. This is a multi-modal training plan which in addition to strength, trains work capacity, endurance, tactical agility and chassis integrity (core).
This is Version 2 of the plan, updated November 2019.
FITNESS ATTRIBUTES
Strength
Ruger’s strength work deploys MTI’s “Density” strength progression methodology. Density is an efficient, percentage-based strength progression that has been deployed in MTI programming for several years. Ruger’s version of Density progression is barbell based, and built around the following four strength training exercises:
- Front Squat
- Bench Press
- Hinge Lift
- Pull Ups
Ruger trains strength two days per week, Mondays and Thursdays.
Work Capacity
Ruger deploys one 10-minute and 15-minute work capacity events, one day per week.
Chassis Integrity
Ruger deploys ART (Anti-Rotation, Rotation, and Total core exercises) and Low Back core circuits (3x low back/extension exercises). You’ll chassis integrity circuits 2 times per week on Tuesdays and Fridays. These circuits are 10-15 minutes long.
Tactical Agility
Ruger deploys two of MTI’s tactical agility drills to train this fitness attribute. You’ll train these drills once per week.
Endurance
Ruger deploys a 3-mile Run Assessment and follow on, 1-mile interval repeats.
