Welcome to the First Responder (Support Unit) programme, this is focussed on more strength than conditioning, perfect if you're wanting to build more muscle.

If you are looking for a more rounded/balanced programme of strength, conditioning and endurance than try out my FIrst Responder (Front Line) programme, or if you are wanting to build a bigger engine and a solid aerobic base check out my First Responder (Tactical Athlete) programme.

Enjoy!

FAQs
What if I work a roster that isn't Monday - Friday?
I completely understand, think of every workout as in succession, do them in order, don't skip any workouts. If you can't do a workout on a given day, don't stress just come back the next day and attack it! In the world of First Responders there is no typical Monday -Friday.
Do I need to be a First Responder or Military to do these programmes?
Absolutely not, if you enjoy working out then these programmes are for you!
What kind of equipment do I need to do this programme?
To get the most out of this programme, you will need access to basic equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, pull up rig, cardio equipment. If you don't have access to the specific equipment don't stress! feel free to use alternative equipment, check the sample week for an idea of equipment needed.
