Operational athletes are a unique breed. You need to physically perform at an extraordinarily high level in stressful situations. Often in dangerous or unstable environments. As a SWAT operator, combat-arms soldier, or first responder, you have to be a Jack of All Trades. Let’s take that a step further. You have to achieve some degree of mastery. You have to be strong, have incredible levels of endurance, and be capable of sustained bursts of intense activity. All while tired, hungry, cold, or worse. You can’t train like a bodybuilder. You can't be sore for a week after 'leg' day. You can’t afford to specialize like a powerlifter. You have other abilities you need to develop, things like cardiovascular training, work capacity, and occupational skills. Anyone that’s operational knows it’s a constant juggling act trying to become (and stay) superhuman.Tactical Barbell is a strength training program designed specifically for operational athletes using correct principles and best practices. The objective being to increase maximal-strength and strength-endurance, while taking into account the need to simultaneously train other fitness domains. Periodization based, with a simple progression model that allows for a great degree of customization. You won’t find cables, balance boards or medicine balls in this program. What you will get is a reliable, repeatable, cutting edge system to increase your strength dramatically. In a manner that leaves you time and energy to train all those other things you need to be good at. No fluff. No frills. If you live in the arena, you know talk is cheap. The program includes a built in strength testing component. You will know whether or not your strength has increased, and by how much. Simple.

You have something very valuable in your hands. A lifetime’s worth of training knowledge, drawn from the world’s most extreme arenas. Lessons learned and best practices from military operators, tactical law enforcement, combat athletes, and others that rely on their physical abilities to survive and thrive in very harsh and unforgiving environments. Where there’s more at stake than winning a medal, or getting a bruised ego. It’s great having a 600lb squat and 400lb bench press. However, as an operational athlete, if you can’t move, work, or thrive for long periods of time in a multitude of energy demanding environments, you are ineffective. Your big bench is useless; your big squat is useless. Tactical Barbell proposes you work towards being a different kind of athlete. The kind that’s not only extremely strong, but also highly conditioned. If you look carefully, you’ll see these people all around you. That guy on your Emergency Response Team with the 350lb bench press and a sub 9 minute 1.5 mile run. The old Marine Sergeant that can run 6 miles in under 40 minutes followed by 30 dead-hang pull-ups. So how do you get there? It's not what you think. Popular 'bootcamp' style approaches that throw a lot of push-ups and running at you in a haphazard fashion don't work for long. Sure, you'll break a sweat and release some endorphins. You might even lose a pound or two. But take a good hard look at your progress. For all your effort, are you really that far ahead? To make real progress, you have to look to the approaches used by professionals. Train each attribute you're trying to improve in a progressive manner, using the most effective tools for that particular fitness domain. In TB2, you'll find the structured, three-pronged approach to conditioning we take with tactical athletes. It consists of Base Building, followed by a transition to a more specific continuation protocol. Periodic maintenance of lower-priority domains complete the model. TB2 is the premier training manual for tactical law enforcement candidates, soldiers, and other operational athletes. You will be hard pressed to find a more thorough and effective conditioning program. If you’re a results-oriented individual looking for concrete, actionable programming based on cutting edge practices, this book is for you.

Tactical Barbell 2: Conditioning

Tactical Barbell I and II were initially written with a unique population in mind; tactical law enforcement and military special operations/combat-arms. Excessive mass can potentially be detrimental to this group. Every ounce of weight that isn’t contributing to performance is felt tenfold in the field. A high strength-to-weight ratio is key in that arena. That said, Tier 1 &amp; 2 players are a minority in the tactical world. The majority; patrol officers, paramedics, firefighters, corrections and others – can get away with having greater amounts of muscle mass. In most cases it’s an occupational benefit. On the street having a capable-looking physique can be a major psychological advantage. A bad guy’s perception of your abilities can shape his behaviour. As some of you already know, officer presence can affect subject response during any given interaction. Same thing goes for Corrections. Even among inmates, physical presence has an impact on prison hierarchy. The benefits don’t stop there. Muscle mass is functional. It enhances strength through greater leverage and increased force generation. Just ask any weight-class combat athlete. Or take firefighters. Having extra muscle can offset all that heavy gear. Would you rather be 140lbs wearing 75lbs of kit, or a muscled 185? Enter Mass Protocol. This program was developed and refined for the operational professional looking to build muscle and improve function, whatever the reason. Whether you’re a recruit beefing up for that first patrol assignment, or a seasoned UC trying to develop a certain look, Mass Protocol will get you there. Gaining quality muscle mass is a systematic repeatable process that works regardless of who you are or your perceived shortcomings. Mass Protocol is a blueprint. Exercises, loads, reps, sets, calories, macros, – everything is provided. No guess-work required on your part. You trusted us with your strength and conditioning – and we delivered. Now you have the same professional option when it comes to building mass. As always, our mantra is ‘Results Speak’. Regardless of objective, Mass Protocol will be an invaluable addition to your toolbox.
