"The infantry are the only athletes expected to do it all"

Some train to lift every known object, and forget they might need to carry it up a ridgeline

Others post great run times, and forget they have to carry half their bodyweight in gear

Others can sprint on a track or field, and forget that combat is an all-terrain event

You need to be fairly good at everything, and combat punishes the one-dimensional athlete

Concurrent Training for Operational Fitness

Improve your lifts, run, and ruck times with an emphasis on elevation gain

Sufficient volume and intensity to progress fitness for long periods of time

Emphasis on longer hikes to push job-specific endurance

Training after you've passed the beginner status and no longer seeing progress on lighter training volumes

About Deliverance

Designed to push strength, power, and endurance simultaneously

Moderate time and recovery demands, ideal for slow deployments and normal training schedules

Gym/run sessions 5-6 days/week. Average 45-60 minutes each

Every other weekend, long hike or ruck. 1-3 hours in duration.

Recommended for those who have completed the Liberation Series or accustomed to daily training sessions

Maintenance Plan For Advanced Users
Deliverance is a great option for those new to concurrent training and do not have an extensive training background. It's also a great maintenance plan if you need a break from the Absolution Series.
benefit-image-2
A Periodized System
Designed to integrate seamlessly with other programs in the Deliverance Series (Fortitude, Perseverance, Tenacity). You can change training emphasis as often as you like without adjusting to a completely different training style. This gives you great flexibility in periodizing your training to fit your needs.

Scale Your Training
Switch to Liberation when you're busy or need a break, jump to Absolution when you want a more aggressive plan. All programs are synchronized together, so you can rotate programs to match your schedule and ambition
