Modern Athlete Strength

Always feel like your training is missing something?

Lots of strength...but conditioning is lacking? Or maybe you're running a ton of miles but you feel weak and exhausted? Maybe it's CrossFit 2.0 rebranded as "tactical" with tons of junk volume?

Warfighter is the only program in the world built by Special Forces veterans and Division 1 strength and conditioning coaches - designed to blend a deep understanding of tactical professional demands with the expertise of professional strength coaches and dietitians.

If you want elite results...results that leave you brutally strong, faster over longer distances, and performing like an athlete in your kit - this is your solution.

Here's what you can expect:

1.) Immediately after starting your free trial you'll receive a copy of our meal prep guide. 41 pages of recipes and strategies to fuel your training. We are here to turn you into a machine - and if we are going to put some extra horsepower under the hood then we need you to eat right.

2.) When you login to the app you will see all of your training for the week. Each training session comes with demo videos for every exercise and detailed coaching instruction. You will also see a limited equipment version of each workout. We know that sometimes you'll be traveling, going to the field, or limited on time - the limited equipment option provides you with the flexibility to stay consistent.

3.) Every Monday night you'll have the option of joining a coaching call focused on either fitness or nutrition. This is your chance to enhance your knowledge and get your specific questions answered. You will never have a doubt about exactly what you need to be doing to perform at your best.

4.) You'll have unlimited access to the coaches and a community of 600+ athletes driven to set their own standard. If you want to be a high performer then you need to surround yourself with others who are cut from the same cloth.

Want results like these?

"Big PR day. I never got past 420 on my Back Squat until today. I hit 470 on my top set! Hit a PR on the 5k on Saturday with a sub 21 minutes. I'd say the Warfighter program has definitely go me lifting heavy and running fast!"

Start your free trial right now and step into the last program you'll ever need. If it's not for you, no sweat, cancel anytime.

Your next PR is waiting.

Move Faster & Further
Warfighter athletes have a gas tank that doesn't quit. You need to move fast and far for however long is required - when there's not a game clock. On Warfighter you'll build both your running and ruck while having options for low impact alternatives. Be an endurance monster without sacrificing your strength.

Jacked, Lean, and Athletic
A huge deadlift isn't very useful if you can't walk up a flight of stairs. We train our athletes to hit big lifts and new PRs but at a jacked and athletic bodyweight and composition. You can get strong AF without gaining a muffin top. Never underestimate the power of physical presence.
benefit-image-2
Be an Athlete with your Gun & Gear.
Warfighter is used by some of the best shooters in the world. That's because we don't worry about bro splits, we focus on building athleticism for real world application. You'll sprint, change direction, drag and carry heavy objects, and move efficiently in gear. We build you to perform in the real world, not just in a gym.
benefit-image-3
Get Ready to PR
Being lean and fast is no excuse to be weak. The expectation of our athletes is to hit new PRs with an either leaner or more athletic body composition. Take Brandon (pictured) for instance, who hit a 675 lb deadlift while weighing 70 pounds less. Whether your goal is to pack on more muscle and get jacked or build strength while losing body fat - we've got you.

This isn't regurgitating some textbook - we know what works because we've lived it.

FAQs
Do I start at the beginning of the cyle or start where the team is?
We prefer you pick up where the team is. Your coaches are able to help you scale the volume, so you acclimate appropriately to the team. In the long run, you will have more success and fun staying on the same page as your teammates, and it helps us provide better coaching.
What if I don't have the equipment for some of the exercises?
Your coaches are standing by to assist. Just reach out in the forum and we will get you set up with a substitution that works with what you have on hand.
Modern Athlete Liability Statement
Consult a medical professional prior to beginning any fitness program. By signing up, the user is voluntarily participating in fitness training entirely at their own risk and waives any right to bring legal action against Modern Athlete Strength Systems, LLC, or associated trainers.
Can I add Zone 2 conditioning to the program?
Absolutely. I recommend that you set a weekly goal (say, 150 minutes) and accumulate time under Zone 2 throughout the week. Add it wherever you'd like. If you are truly staying in the zone, then it won't affect recovering from training.
Can I add additional push-ups and calisthenics?
Sure - if you're getting ready for a Physical Fitness Assessment and need to add some test specific movements, you can do that. Just use our chat function and the coach will help you incorporate them in the program where it makes sense.
Disclaimer of Purchase and Use
It is your obligation and responsibility if you are a SOCOM employee, or applying for a job in SOCOM (reservist, AD, GS, or contractor) to not purchase services from Modern Athlete. We cannot provide product or services due to potential violations of the POTFF contract.
Is this designed to prepare me for any selection or specific event?
No. This is a general physical preparedness program and designed for anyone who wants to get faster, stronger, and more athletic.

"MASS programming is by far the best programming I have ever utilized. Coing off a significant back injury, I thought I'd never lift again. The programing has me squatting and deadlifting very near the weights I was at prior to injury. I'm looking forward to continuing programming through MASS!"

"Working with the team has kept me progressing not just in overall strength, but durability. The programming is challenging, adaptable, and most importantly, effective. Thanks to Brian and Ben, I'm not only able to keep up, but outperform folks half my age."
