We’re kicking off a brand new 8-week TrainFTW training cycle designed to start 2026 with structure, consistency, and long-term progress.

📅 January 5 – March 1, 2026

This cycle introduces something new for TrainFTW: a five-day predictable training template across seven days, based directly on member feedback.

Weekly structure

• 3 Strength days per week Back squat, bench press, and deadlift using foundational compound lifts Each day includes targeted accessory work for strength, hypertrophy, and stamina

• 2 Conditioning days per week One high-intensity day focused on VO2 max and anaerobic capacity. One low-intensity Zone 2 day for aerobic development and longevity.

• Active recovery day - Run day Optional run-focused aerobic day, ideal for keeping up capacity in the winter.

This cycle is designed as a slow roll into 2026, building foundational strength and conditioning that carries forward into future training cycles without burning you out early in the year.

Built with real feedback from our members and structured for consistency, this cycle sets the tone for sustainable training all year long.

Conditioning

B

3 Rounds: 7:00 Ruck (30lbs/20lbs) 10 Turkish get-up sit-ups, right (light) 10 Turkish get-up sit-ups, left (light) 10 Half kneeling bottoms up kettlebell press, right (light) 10 Half kneeling bottoms up kettlebell press, right (light) This is a Zone 2 ruck-based conditioning session that blends steady aerobic work with controlled, light-load strength. The goal is to move smoothly for all 3 rounds while keeping breathing relaxed and posture solid. The ruck should be paced at ~3.5 mph. Adjust the load as needed to maintain that pace without heavy breathing or breaking form. RPE 2–3 (easy, repeatable effort) Heart rate ≈ 180 – age (±5 bpm) Nasal breathing should be possible throughout The Turkish get-up sit-ups and bottoms-up presses are meant to be slow and controlled, reinforcing core stability and shoulder control without spiking heart rate. Use light kettlebells and break reps early if needed. ♦️ Keep the ruck smooth and consistent ♦️ Strength work should feel supportive, not fatiguing Goal: Build aerobic endurance with stability and control under light load

Cardio Ramp Up - Shoulder and Back Focus

Complete 5 intervals of: 0:50 Air bike @ easy pace 0:10 Air bike @ hard pace Then, complete 3 rounds NOT for time of: 5/5 Windmills 5/5 Cross-body dumbbell muscle snatch 🔸Choose any cardio equipment you have available.

Wall Ball Progression (A)

With a medicine ball: 5 Wall ball front squat 5 Wall ball push press 5 Wall ball Wall ball shots ➜If no medicine ball, use a barbell or dumbbells for thrusters.

Conditioning

C

EMOM for 10:00 (5 sets each): Even: 15cal/10cal Row Odd: 15 Wall ball shots (20lbs/14lbs, 10ft/9ft) Taking two movements that require dynamic leg drive and pairing them together for 10:00 of consistent work is asking a lot. Try to move at a pace on the rower that allows you to finish with 0:05-0:10 to transition to wall ball shots. The wall ball shots will be completed in ~0:35, so gather yourself and get settled on the rower in time to start the next interval. Try hard, but stop the workout entirely if you're unable to complete 15 wall ball shots in a row fairly easily (be honest with yourself). Reps ➜ Decrease to be able to complete in 0:50 or less. Row ➜ Use an air bike(15/10cal), skiErg (15/10cal), or treadmill (0:50) as needed. ➜ If unable to complete the 15/10cal, row at a hard effort for 0:50. Wall ball shots ➜ If no medicine ball, perform barbell (20kg/15kg) or dumbbell (20lbs/15lbs each) thrusters for same reps. ➜ If you can't complete the 15 reps easily - STOP... you're risking severe soreness.

"A sense of community. This is very important for us because we have young kids and a garage gym. Getting to a box means more logistics and less working out so having an “instant” community in TFW is fantastic. It helps me push and encourages me to do my best every day."

"Thought out programming. Don’t have to rely on a box membership or time traveling to a gym. Direct interaction from the coaching staff."
