Tactical Barbell II: Conditioning

You have something really valuable in your hands. A lifetime of training experience from the world’s most demanding settings. Military operators, tactical law enforcement, martial artists, and others who rely on their physical ability to survive and prosper in tough and brutal circumstances share their lessons learned and best practices. Where there’s more at risk than just a medal or a damaged ego. Bottom line, with these folks, the training must be effective. You will reduce your learning curve by decades if you use the ideas in this book. You’ll be able to push your conditioning to new heights while avoiding costly amateur blunders that lead to injury and burnout. The way has been set out in front of you like a silver platter. If you’re an older athlete, you’ll rediscover your confidence in your athletic ability. You might have forgotten how that feels. It’s fantastic to have a 600lb squat and a 400lb bench press. However, as a tactical athlete, you are unsuccessful if you cannot run, work, or operate for extended periods of time in a variety of energy-demanding scenarios. Your massive bench press and squat are both meaningless. Tactical Barbell advises you to strive to be a different type of athlete. The sort that is not only exceedingly powerful, but also exceptionally well-conditioned. If you look closely, you’ll see that these folks are all around you. That man on your Emergency Response Team with the 350-pound bench press and a 1.5-mile run in under 9 minutes. The ancient Marine Sergeant who can sprint 6 miles in less than 40 minutes, deadlift over 600 pounds, and perform 30 dead-hang pull-ups.
So, how exactly do you get there? It is not what you believe. Popular ‘bootcamp’ tactics that throw a lot of push-ups and jogging at you haphazardly don’t work. You’ll certainly break a sweat and release some endorphins. You may even drop a pound or two. However, take a close look at your progress. Are you really so far ahead after all your efforts? To achieve meaningful development, you must study the methods utilized by the professionals.
