Description
Vodka represents the most recent evolution of our day to day programming for Law Enforcement Patrol Officers and Detectives.
This is a balanced, 7-Week, 5 day/week training plan which concurrently trains strength, work capacity, tactical agility, upper body hypertrophy, and chassis integrity (functional core), and short-distance endurance. This is a balanced training plan and each of these fitness attributes are training in relatively equal amounts.
Week 7 in the plan is a taper/unload week.
The training sessions are designed to last 45-50 minutes.
This is Version 2 of Vodka, Updated June 2019.
FITNESS ATTRIBUTES
Strength
Vodka deploys barbell strength training and deploys a modified version MTI’s proven and intense, “Big 24” progression. The strength exercises trained are MTI’s Barbell Complex, Power Clean and Push Press and the Hang Squat Clean. You’ll train strength two times per week.
Work Capacity
Vodka deploys two work capacity events, a shuttle sprint (300m shuttle) and a gym-based multi-mode event. Each event “progresses” or gets harder throughout the training plan. You’ll train work capacity two times per week.
Chassis Integrity
Vodka trains chassis integrity 2 days/week, on the strength days. One day you’ll complete ARE Circuits which deploy an Anti-Rotation, Rotation, and Extension core strength exercise. One day/week you’ll train a Low Back Circuit which trains 3 extension exercises in the same circuit.
