Chop Wood Carry Water Strength

Dan Clemons, MS, CSCS

Following the success of our original Chop Wood Carry Water training program, we present to you the Tactical Strength and Mass plan. Our lifters and athletes were looking for something a bit more specific when it comes to putting on muscle mass and crushing records in the weightroom and this 12 week cycle is the direct result of those requests and the reviews have been tremendous.

This program places a heavy emphasis on building up the upper back, traps, and arms while bringing up full body strength and overall aesthetics. The user can expect noticeable size gains and strength increases.

This program has been used on our tactical athletes for well over a decade and the results speak for themselves. It is long overdue to be released to the public and we proudly present to you Tactical Strength and Mass.
