It’s amazing to me how little time it takes for that to just completely and 100% SUCK.
It’s why I love to hate sled work!

I confess that every time I see someone wearing one of those heart rate monitors, I just wonder how fat someone has to be before it doesn’t work anymore.
….I also wonder if I am at that point lol.

Tons of very impressive work happening in here.
Question: how do you plan/ structure your training? It all looks awesome and savage as hell, but I can’t make heads or tails of the overall structure. Let’s say someone wanted to start training like you – what would you tell them to do?

Well right now I’m follow a program by Grizz Phys which are a bunch of Royal Marines who write programs based for those in military/leo type roles or who want to work in that capacity. They’ve got an Instagram page if you want to check them out.
They focus mostly on conditioning but right now I’m doing a strength block.
Some sessions run long, or have an AM/PM component so I either break it up over two days or fit it in where I can. I’m not too strict on the old “Monday needs to be squat day” schtick.
This program is 5/6 days PW but sometimes I’ll train for 7-14 days straight, other times I’ll take rest days. I just pick up where I left off and look at it more as workouts 1-

- workouts 1 - 42 etc. And go in order. There’s no magic to only lifting on the same day.
I’ve done almost every program and style under the sun.
The “key” is consistency AND intensity, and finding YOUR balance.
No good training every day if it’s horseshit effort.
No good training hard for a week and quitting.
But you train with both? Results.

I will say that depending on your experience/strength/fitness level then something simple is the way to go.
Something measurable to track improvement and competency
Like a 5/3/1 for example could be
Day 1
OHP 5/3/1
Assistance dips and rows/pull ups
Then a short conditioning piece like 1-5 rounds tabbata anything (rope/bike/ski/burpees/backflips who cares)
Day 2
Squat 5/3/1
Assistance kb swings and abs
- Optional upper body low impact like bis/tris
Day 3
Bench 5/3/1
Assistance incline press/lat pulldown
Another short conditioning piece, maybe a ladder of reps like 1 up to 10 KB swings and burpees, back down to 1 rep if you feel good
Day 4
Deadlift 5/3/1
Assistance goblet squats and abs
- Optional upper body stuff
Day 5
Longer slower cardio, think HR 140ish bpm and not something that will fuck up your training.
That’d be a basic intro to my “style” of training.
Depending on your recovery, conditioning, goals etc you can ramp up the conditioning portion and skip the assistance work or vice versa.
You can add in Olympic lifts like Cleans to start overhead pressing, in fact I’ve found I feel ‘stronger’ when I start my overhead stuff from the ground on every rep.
I would recommend getting some sort of coaching for Olympic lifts though as they are technical, if you want to do them right.
Some programs I’ve done are
Westside for skinny bastards
5/3/1
Ryan Fishers HIIB 100 variations
Grizz Phys - various
If you’re looking to really get into conditioning I would HIGH RECOMMEND getting a copy of Tactical Barbell 2. Awesome, awesome value for money.
Sorry for the long winded response haha, more a complex answer than I intended
