Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of a Tactical Athlete can be physically straining. Serving their communities and country the real life situations they find themselves in do not offer warm-ups or stretching sessions before the action starts. There are no do-overs if something goes wrong. Having the ability to respond quickly and effectively, with a body and mind capable of "living to fight" another day, is of the utmost importance. Having a quality of life to share with their families during and after their careers, is of even more importance. Original Strength for the Tactical Athlete presents the basic concepts behind the Original Strength System and applies them towards the life of a Tactical Athlete with the goal of allowing them to live their lives to their fullest potential. Original Strength for the Tactical Athlete explores some of the Original Strength RESETS and how to apply the workouts geared specifically for Tactical Athletes. Author Chad Faulkner shares his personal journey about how the RESETS have benefited him as a soldier, and how they could have made an impact, earlier in his career. If you consider yourself a Tactical Athlete (police, fire, EMS, military, etc.), train them, or aspire to be one, this is the book for you.
Download or read book Tactical Barbell written by K. Black and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-18 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational athletes are a unique breed. You need to physically perform at an extraordinarily high level in stressful situations. Often in dangerous or unstable environments. As a SWAT operator, combat-arms soldier, or first responder, you have to be a Jack of All Trades. Let's take that a step further. You have to achieve some degree of mastery. You have to be strong, have incredible levels of endurance, and be capable of sustained bursts of intense activity. All while tired, hungry, cold, or worse. You can't train like a bodybuilder. You can't be sore for a week after 'leg' day. You can't afford to specialize like a powerlifter. You have other abilities you need to develop, things like cardiovascular training, work capacity, and occupational skills. Anyone that's operational knows it's a constant juggling act trying to become (and stay) superhuman. Tactical Barbell is a strength training program designed specifically for operational athletes using correct principles and best practices. The objective being to increase maximal-strength and strength-endurance, while taking into account the need to simultaneously train other fitness domains. Periodization based, with a simple progression model that allows for a great degree of customization. You won't find cables, balance boards or medicine balls in this program. What you will get is a reliable, repeatable, cutting edge system to increase your strength dramatically. In a manner that leaves you time and energy to train all those other things you need to be good at. No fluff. No frills. If you live in the arena, you know talk is cheap. The program includes a built in strength testing component. You will know whether or not your strength has increased, and by how much. Simple.
