T-850 Tactical Athlete Rebuilt Program

Terminator Training Method

Tactical / Military, Strength & Conditioning

Coach

Kevin Smith

Built to Outlast. Engineered for Tactical Performance.

This program is designed to make you stronger, faster, and harder to break—without the junk volume.

Most tactical athletes break down because their training is smoke sessions or bodybuilding fluff that doesn’t carry over to the job. That’s not this.

I developed this program after 12 years as a Green Beret, where I earned the nickname “The Terminator” for one reason: while other guys were spinning out, I kept going. Why? Because I trained smarter—building real-world strength, power, and an efficient aerobic engine while managing recovery so I could perform when it mattered.

This program is built for the tactical athlete who needs it all:

-Strength & power to handle the job under load

-Endurance & durability to keep going

-Muscle & resilience that carry over to the field, not just the mirror

-Smart intensity that builds you up instead of breaking you down

If you’re a military professional, SOF candidate, first responder, or hybrid athlete who wants training that translates to the real world, this is your blueprint.

Build Strength

Each lifting day will include main lifts designed to build strength and muscle in a joint friendly way. Each day will have a main movement pattern or body part (push/pull/legs/upper) as the focus, with additional volume spread through the week to ensure proper frequency.

Power & Speed

You'll see jumps, throws, and power based movements in every session to allow you to maintain your ability to fire fast twitch muscles, something that naturally declines with age and high mileage. Sprints will also occur weekly throughout the program.

Conditioning & Engine Building

A tactical program isn't complete without heavy emphasis on conditioning. The conditioning is specifically programmed to manage the intensity of your training and allow for the ability to recover. Look for long distance aerobic work, short sprints, Vo2 max/longer repeat work, and reasonable metcons/AMRAPs throughout the training week. You can choose any modality you prefer/want to improve.

Hypertrophy

A well structured hypertrophy program is the most longevity friendly way to train. Bodybuilding for muscle gain and health is different than professional bodybuilding, and this program boasts the former. The program includes hard, high effort training on well selected exercises that pose little risk of injury or nagging pain. Expect to push sets harder than you ever have before.

Longevity

The sequencing, selection, intensity and execution of exercise is paramount for a lifelong relationship with fitness. This program accounts for all of this, ensuring you won't show up to your day job already smoked and sore. Soreness, fatigue and sweat are often BYPRODUCTS of good training, but they're NOT the goal. The goal is continued progress.

Train with Purpose

If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels with outrageously high volume programs that leave you smoked and unable to think straight for your day job, look no further. This will challenge you & get you fit, but not detract from the rest of your life.

FAQs

Can I follow this program with a basic garage gym?

Yes - Some exercises will be programmed on gym equipment, but each one will have a basic garage gym substitution.

Can I follow this program to prepare for SOF selection?

This is not a selection prep program, and therefore I wouldn't recommend following it for selection prep. I do have other options for selection prep candidates, though (send me a DM on IG).

Is this a 1 time program or a continuous program?

This is a subscription based, continuous program. You can follow it for as long as you want, or cancel your subscription at any time.

Will the program change or stay the same?

The program will change periodically to ensure continued interest and lack of monotony. But for a program to be effective, it needs to stay the same for certain periods. Expect subtle changes every month in the training split, exercises, conditioning sessions, rep ranges, & intensity prescriptions.

Can I follow this program if I'm not in a tactical profession?

Yes. There's nothing special about the program that makes it more "tactical" than another well-rounded program. The focus/emphasis of the program is geared towards the attributes tactical athletes (Mil, LEO, Firefighter etc.) should build/maintain, but anyone who wants better fitness can follow

Can I follow this as a young tactical athlete just starting out?

Absolutely. The sooner you start to consider training in a longevity friendly manner in a job that is as longevity unfriendly as any job in existence, the better your staying power will be. Just because you can get away with training haphazardly, doesn't mean you should.

Will I get 1:1 coaching with this training team?

No, this is separate from TTM's 1:1 coaching service. However, you can ask questions, post form check videos, and reach out to Kevin as you go through and he'll provide you with feedback and instructions as needed.

Why do a lot of exercises only have 2 sets?

A good program can't be high volume AND high intensity. I believe in hard, focused training rather than less hard, lots of junk volume training. You can get more than enough stimulus with 2-3 hard sets of an exercise. If it doesn't feel like enough for you, you can always push sets harder.

What if I don't have access to the proper equipment?

Each exercise that requires equipment that's typically found in a well stocked gym will have an option for an exercise substitution (barbell, dumbbell, bands). Certain gym equipment is more optimal than free weights, in my opinion, but free weights can still work well!
