Welcome to FSSC teams subscription!

Are you a Firefighter looking to improve your physical performance and body composition? You've come to the right place.

This program utilizes a 9 day training week, which we have found to work better with 24 hour shift work. we program 6 training days, and encourage you to take 3 rest days when you feel you need them. Late nights at work, weekends with the family, overall fatigue/burnout are all reasons to rest.

The six training days consist of upper body push/pull strength and hypertrophy, lower body push pull hypertrophy, steady state cardio, and interval training.

The variation allows for adequate cardiovascular and muscular recovery, allowing you to train harder.

Skip the mindless "metcons" and pointless volume. Come try a program that is tested by numerous firefighters before its sold. You can cancel anytime, but we have a feeling you wont. See you out there.

Week 1 test

Every 3 minutes for 15: 12-16 KB clean 15 cal ski erg/row 20 wallballs @ 17:00 as many reps as possible for 3 minutes 2-4-6-8… box jumps + front squat/ KB squat @25:00 5x 100ft heavy farmers carry + sandbag carry rest as needed The purpose of todays workout is to exert yourself at higher intensity while remaining calm and controlling your breathing. IF you aren’t in control of your breath you’re probably going too fast. Do not go too heavy, that isn’t the point. Scoring is total reps on the 3 minute AMRAP at 17:00
