Too often people have unrealistic expectations for training. When setting up any program you need to establish your non-negotiables. What are your minimum commitments for time and training?
My non-negotiables are training six days a week with one day a week dedicated to recovery. I have three resistance training days and three conditioning days.
Monday - Heavy upper body and dynamic lower body training
Tuesday - 1 hr ruck
Wednesday - Heavy lower body and dynamic upper body training
Thursday - 1 hr ruck
Friday - Full-body gap/assistance training
Saturday - 1 hr ruck
Sunday - Recovery
That's my base. From there I add work related to my goal for that block. My four different areas of focus are strength, hypertrophy, conditioning, and functional/implement training.
Next week I'll outline my current conditioning block.
