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 built by Special Forces veterans and D1 strength coaches who know what it takes to perform under pressure. We've trained thousands of tactical professionals. This is what works.

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.) You'll get our 41-page Meal Prep Guide immediately - because you can't out-train a shit diet. Fuel like a pro or stay average.

2.) Weekly mental performance lessons. Your body can be ready, but if your mind isn't, you'll fold under pressure. We train both.

3.) Every Monday night, join a live coaching call. Ask questions. Get answers. No more guessing what you should be doing.

4.) You'll have unlimited access to the coaches and a community of 700+ 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.

5.) Every workout includes demo videos, coaching notes, and a limited-equipment version. Travel, field time, or minimal gym? You can still train.

Want results like these?

Brandon came to Warfighter already strong - deadlift in the upper 600s.

But he was carrying 70+ pounds he didn't need.

A few years later: 670 lb deadlift at 220 lbs bodyweight.

Stronger pound-for-pound. Better conditioning. More athletic.

That's what training with a real system does.

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.

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.

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.

Coaches Who've Been Where You Are

We've been Best Ranger competitors, served in elite organization, and coached D1 athletes. With years of experience with a ruck on our back and sharpening our own blades - we're here to equip you with the decades of knowledge we've gained through our own experiences. This isn't regurgitating some textbook - we know what works because we've lived it.

Breathe in on a 4 count, hold for a 4 count, exhale 4-8 seconds, pause for about 4 seconds before your next breath. You can elevate your feet on a bench while you do this or go outside for a walk. Our intent with the cool-down is to simply down-regulate from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state. This helps us begin the recovery process.

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.

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.

The Proof

"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!"

Matt Beasley

"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."
