Welcome to the Fire Service Strength & Conditioning training program. The program focuses on building functional strength and power while building work capacity with mixed modal training. This program uses a 9 day training schedule, which better suits firefighters working a 9 day week (Kelly schedule Work/Off/Work/Off/Work/Off/Off/Off/Off) Not all departments use this schedule, but the program is effective nonetheless. The Point: We are training on a 9 day week, incorporating 3 rest days that you can use whenever you need during the week. We encourage you to use the rest days when you feel physically or psychologically strained. (Sleep deprivation, soreness, dehydration) You can also strategically use your rest days to be home with your family on weekends/ special events etc. We have found that using the rest days and steady state cardio days after physically demanding shifts have:  Improved the rest of our training days during the week  Increased our confidence in abilities to perform job related tasks  Increased mental health and resiliency.
