Training Methods: Triple Progressions for the Recovering Tactical Athlete
-
The Tactical Athlete is NOT a Bodybuilder. Plain and simple. Lean body mass is a great predictor of success in the selection process but not to the extent that aesthetics, maximum hypertrophy or even max force production are primary physical qualities that determine how efficient a Warfighter can, “Move, Shoot and Communicate.”
-
A Warfighter needs to not get tired. Endurance is key. Work capacity and the ability to do strenuous, sub-maximal efforts under fatigue is fundamental to Warfighter fitness. Sprint to cover under load and then pull open the hatch of a rolled vehicle with buddies trapped inside is a personal experience that comes to mind. All after hours of patrolling in 100+ degrees with over 100lbs of gear on you oh, and by the way, it’s been a day or 2 since you’ve slept a full night and you last ate a crappy MRE maybe 6 hours ago.
-
Can we develop the capacity to KNOW that, under these circumstances, under extreme fatigue, we can bust out sets of 3-5 of “X” load or the equivalent effort at the drop of a hat with minimal risk of injury? I say we can, because I’ve done it and so have many hundreds of other Tactical Athletes.
-
More importantly, once we get injured, in combat or otherwise, how can we gradually rebuild to these higher capacities?
-
One way is a form of “triple progression” which I’ll explain in this video using my current recovery from an earlier pec tear using incline dumbbell press as an example.
