Tactical Barbell: Definitive Strength Training for the Operational Athlete

THOU SHALT REST A MINIMUM OF TWO MINUTES BETWEEN SETS

You need to do some form of muscular-endurance work to help express some of that max-strength as SE.

Some trainees use the minimum doses for certain exercises, and max sets/reps to target problem areas.

A general rule of thumb is the longer the rest interval, the more strength without the mass.

If you’re running this template long term, I recommend you take a few weeks off every 3-6 months or so to allow your CNS some recovery time. Good time to go on leave.

In the TB world, strength training is the skeleton over which we drape things like work capacity, endurance, speed and power. Focus on getting extremely strong in a small handful of balanced compound lifts.

The average gym rat trains on emotion and feel.

Muscular endurance is derived from maximal-strength.

Consistency and persistence can move mountains. Don’t break the chain.
