Jailhouse Strong's Josh Bryant brings you a 12-week Tactical Powerlifting program designed to build ABSOLUTE STRENGTH so you peak for a powerlifting meeting while increasing your work capacity so that you're ready at a moment's notice.

Your training will deliver 12 weeks of progressive overload while incorporating 3 deload/reload weeks to make sure you're not over-training along the way.

You'll build strength and power in the Squat, bench and deadlift and we'll add in meaningful accessory movements that'll make a difference in your training and performance.

If you're willing to put in the 60 minutes of work 4 days per week, you'll make incredible strength gains over the next 12 weeks without sacrificing your conditioning.

In typical Josh Bryant fashion, this is no frills training with nothing fancy outside of good old fashioned hard work, sweat, persistence, and sacrifice.

If you're willing to put in the work, you'll be pleasantly surprised with what you become throughout the process of adding this to your training regimen.

Real Bang for Your Buck

There's not a wasted movement or rep in this 12-week program. We'll get you in the weight room, get to work, and get you back to your life. You'll make incredible gains and some of the most efficient you've ever made in your training.

Meaningful Movements

We'll focus almost exclusively on ground-based functional movements like the Back Squat and Bench Press, adding in pulls, carries, sled drags, and rucks. Not a single movement, set, or even rep was wasted when we put this training plan together.

Ready at a Moment's Notice

We understand how training can impact performance and how performance (for some) can mean life or death in certain situations. This training plan was put together to ensure that you're ready at a moment's notice, for whatever comes your way in work and in life.

Tech-Enabled for You

We're delivering this Tactical Powerlifting program with our partners at TrainHeroic so that we can get the training plan in your hands immediately. Used by our nation's special operators and tactical community, you'll be able to track your progress, record your numbers, see movement videos, and so much more with the app. Leverage offline mode when you're down range so you're always ready to go.

4 days of powerlifting and tactical training with 1 day of rucking each week. We've built in 2 de/re-load weeks so you can train hard throughout.

Exercise Video Guidance

Each movement is attached to a video demo so that you're not guessing what to do or how to do it.

I've written tips that go beyond exercise instruction. You'll know rest times, tempos, and what I'm looking for specifically in each movement.

FAQs

Who is this program for?

This program is for intermediate and advance lifters. An intermediate lifter is someone who has six months to a year of consistent, intelligent training. An advanced lifter is someone who has two years or more of consistent, intelligent training.

Can you explain the Squat/Bench Press/Deadlift Execution?

If you want to move big weights, you need to move the barbell as fast as possible with these exercises. I call this “movement intention”. The idea is to move lighter weights fast to build your explosive strength. This will cause your body to adapt to the intent of your central nervous system (CNS).

What are the program's priorities?

For this program, core lifts are the most important piece of the puzzle, followed by supplementary movements, and finally followed by assistance lifts. If you must cut anything, cut in order from least important to most important.

What is RPE?

RPE is the acronym for rate of perceived exertion and is a way to self-regulate intensity. The following is the RPE scale used for the program. REMEMBER that RPEs are not emotional or a challenge, they are a pragmatic way to modulate intensity to the day’s strength levels. RPE is a measuring tool.
