BEST OF Gym Jones Tactical: Train Like a SEAL

Gym Jones

Coach
Kenny Bigbee Jr

This is our most successful phase from our Gym Jones Train Like a SEAL online team. More personal bests and milestones were achieved during this phase than any other we've run on this team, so we've decided to offer it as a standalone program for anyone who is looking to follow along at their own pace.

This is a 10 week cycle that will include a pre-test week, 8 weeks of structured strength and conditioning work, and a final test week. You can expect 3 strength days and 2 conditioning days, with room in the program to train your extracurriculars and job-specific training if necessary! Coach Bigbee is a former Navy SEAL and knows what it takes to be a successful tactical athlete, and this program is desiged to get you there.

Start the program whenever you'd like to, follow along at your own pace, and chase goals on your terms!

Proven programming
This cycle has been tested by our Gym Jones Train like a SEAL team and produced more PR's than any other cycle we've run on the team to date. Commit to a program knowing that it's been tried and tested, modified and perfected to lead you to success.
