Sex & Zombies
Alec Blenis
Endurance, General Fitness, Strength & Conditioning, Tactical, Law Enforcement, First Responders, Custom Programming, Functional Fitness"Sex & Zombies" combines the physique training you want to look good naked with the tactical fitness you need to survive the zombie apocalypse, now with 3 "paths" to choose from within each training session: Run, Fight, and Grow.
This general physical preparedness (GPP) program leaves nothing behind, with attention given to low intensity aerobic conditioning, high intensity anaerobic work & metcons, maximal strength, explosive power & plyometrics, hypertrophy, and even mobility. All 3 paths (Run, Fight, Grow) include a variety of GPP work, but you can expect the following emphasis on each path:
Run = A "speed," "tempo", and "long" run workout each week, ideal for someone training for a half-marathon or similar distance, along with more plyo work and lower leg training.
Fight = A short/intense metcon and a "grinder" metcon each week, along with more "anti-fragile" exercises for the neck, core, forearms, etc.
Grow = Additional bodybuilding volume
You can ask in the group chat for advice on how to tailor the program to your individual needs!

Low intensity aerobic conditioning day. Pick a single modality that you can sustain comfortably for at least 15 minutes at a time. Could be running, incline walking, cycling, airdyne, elliptical, stairmaster, rucking, swimming, skiing, etc - doesn't really matter. Just aim to keep your heart rate around 65-75% of your max for at least 15 minutes. If you don't monitor heart rate, that's fine too; it should be a pace that feels like work but still allows you to speak in full sentences without sounding winded. Don't overthink it, just put in the time. If you're training for an endurance event or want to prioritize your conditioning, I'd encourage you to go for at least 30 minutes today.

Circuit
B
[Rx Version] 1 mile run or 2k row + 300 steps overhead plate lunges @ 45/35# * every time you take a break / drop the plate below your head, you must complete a 5 burpee to plate penalty. You may not rest the plate on your head. + 1 mile run or 2k row Intent: start conservatively on mile 1 so you have energy going into the lunges, otherwise you'll take a lot of penalties. On lunges, push to about RPE 7 each time before setting the plate down and doing your burpees. If you rest too often, that's a lot of burpees, but if you try to push too far before taking a break, you could run out of gas and pay for it later. Go ahead and send it on the last mile run! This should be very hard.

No planned conditioning for today, but if you've fallen behind on any conditioning work for the week or want/need additional zone 2 work, this would be a good place to do it!

As a lifelong athlete, I’ve competed in a very wide range of events, including ultra-marathons, OCR (Spartan Pro Team 2012-2014), CrossFit (Murph World Record), and more. My diverse experience has allowed me to coach a correspondingly wide variety of individuals, distilling my wealth of knowledge and practical experience into each and every one of my programs.
When you join a team you’re getting more than programming, you’re joining an online community.
