Effective Fitness Training

Effective Fitness
  • Get stronger, build muscle, fill out your uniform, and become a better Tactical Athlete.
  • This is a program built for tactical athletes to pack on muscle.
  • Train with the most up to date scientific principles
  • Follow our 12-week training cycles that are built using 4-week training blocks
  • During the first 3 weeks of each block, the number of hard sets will increase as well as the sets will be taken closer and closer to failure.
  • After that 3rd week, we will take a small deload and then switch up the exercises for the next block. 

Example:

Week 1 - 3 sets of 10 reps (stay ~3 reps away from failure)

Week 2 - 4 sets of 10 reps (stay ~2 reps away from failure)

Week 3 - 4-5 sets of 10 reps (stay ~1 reps away from failure)

Week 4 - Deload

  • The best part is, you don't have to think about any of that.
  • We will tell you everything you need to know for every workout.
