The Best Training Program for Men

Just don't ego lift and you will be fine, i got injured with the deadlift and squat still do them with dumbells but get insane benefits even with the lighter weight.

5x5 workout…🤔

As long as you use peds, any amount of training will give you results

Thank you for your advice
I like i try
Un gars de France 🇫🇷 qui te dis merci !

All very solid advice. I always try to tell my guys that consistency is key to all things fitness.

They tend to hear my crazy workout schedule and then get discouraged from working out. So I have to remind them that my goals are significantly different from theirs, so to not use my workout plan as an excuse to not workout.

For context im tyocually working out 3 to 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. But, bear in mind that I'm not going 100% the entire time. Im following a vety strict workout rotuine for my career

Yep, Bill Starr's Beginner 5X5, Rippetoe's Starting Strength, Wendler 5/3/1, Strong Lifts, they are all about strength training, no frills, just effective with minimal equipment and time.

This is awesome advice. I do strength training 2x week, ruck on Sundays, and MMA the other three days. I just have to be honest with myself about when I’m feeling tired and give myself the flexibility to rest as long as I don’t rest more than 1-2 days in a row.

Why are pull-ups never included in strength training alongside deadlifts, squats, and bench press? How will you grow your lats and biceps?

Wow I can’t believe I’m hearing good advice for training from a military guy. Most Army training that I’ve been a part of has been so dumb

Good stuff mate 👍

Excellent information, caught your interview with Rip on his podcast 👍💪

100% brother SS is great for incredible functional strength and bonus ain't no age cut off!!

That some good advice, great video!

SS does work, even if you're over 50 years old, got my BSD to 1080 in about 9 months

Brother let me help you improve the deadlift if you don’t mind. I want to help protect your low back. If you watch them, you start locking out your knees with high hips and finish the move with mostly low back. Again I am just looking out for your health

Hey i love your videos keep up the great work i love this knowledge your spreading. Stay blessed!

Absolutely agree. Superb commentary.

Old school 11B2P Recondo here. I was also in the 10th MTN DIV. I ruck. Run. Train jiujitsu. Before watching this video my "strength" training was usually 2-3 days a week. Usually, light to medium load. My non "Strength" days were and still are a hybrid workout to enhance my grappling and Muay Thai. I never really trained for true strength or power. So, I decided to take your advice. I purchased a copy of Starting Strength and read it in a few days. At the moment I am on week 9 of week one. My run time has improved. My grappling strength and endurance have improved. I want to increase and improve my power as well. I will move on to week two after completing 10 weeks of week one. The workouts are simple and effective. Thank you for the great info! Keep Grind'n!!

Devil horns eh? Rock on, dude…

I need to get cracking. I’m tired of being a bot overweight

I agree general strength is important in military contexts. That being said, "Starting Strength" is not good for mass building and many youngsters nowadays would need to bulk up, if only to have a better/bigger "platform" to serve as foundation of their strength. In addition, I suggest taking part in mil-sim events. It ill show you how much your gear impacts your athleticism. I spent 32h (-5 total sleep) in my 28lbs plate carrier; 1st time I was genuinely worried I may faint and, eventually, my sweat ceased to be salty...

Best wishes from Poland to my American friends!

"Performance in all sports can be increased through improving your squat, deadlift, benchpress, and pullups" - Charles Poliquin.

Mike Mentzer and his HIT heavy duty program is pretty fantastic for a program just sprinkle in rucking.

Look straight ahead not up

You gotta gun. No need to worry about strength.

Starting strength is the best. Preach!

It’s been almost a year since I’ve had my L4/L5 fused. Just turned 24, rucking has been fine but I have been wanting to get back into the gym to get into more decent shape. With my current situation, do you think it would be smart to substitute the deadlifts and squats with half rack deadlifts and squats or just try them to see? And do you think it would be necessary to add in one or two specific things to strengthen my back (back extension, etc.) or is rucking/lifting like this sufficient? I just don’t want to mess something up in my back again, this was my 2nd surgery within 3 years…thanks for any input

What about fat loss?
That’s what I’m really needing.

But I just can’t seem to do it.
I put on 9 Lbs in a week.
Is it fat or water retention?

I have been eating clean, no sugar.
Working out 4 days a week, mostly body exercises and jogging.

My meals are just eggs, chicken, rice, veg, fruit, protein bars.
Coffee, water.
The odd bit of bread.
(Any other meal options?.)
And I’m eating about 1100-1200 calories a day.
And my maintenance calculator says 1715 calories a day for extreme weight loss.
But I honestly get full fast with all the protein and my stomach hurts so I really can’t eat more.

What can I do drop them fat?

Great advice thank you so much as a busy parent i need a no bs program like this im going to try this i tried something similar to this in the past and got great results. Just subscribed and am looking forward to more of your content. God bless you sir keep up the great work 💪

15 minutes is almost impossible for me just walking, especially under load. At 5’ 6” I have to jog a bit to make that time.

Thank you

Mark Rippetoe absolute legend, follow him or 5x5 if your want to powerlift, however, if you want to be fit for combat follow the inmate regimine, if you've never served time, you can find all the burpee and muscle up drills online

damn right sir, i do this since 2 years, i swear i gained about 5-10 kg of muscle

Great Class!
My Wife and I ruck three times a week to the range. We eat a packed lunch shoot rest and ruck back. It is just under two miles one way. I’m 68 and my Wife is 59 we are both retired Army. Trust me anyone can get and stay in shape the older you are the longer it will take. Listen to your body! And take your time training it is not a race!
Most importantly
TRAIN DON’T COMPLAIN

So progressive overload gets you strong?

Very helpful! Thank you!

Appreciate the info. About to start back on the weights this week and will incorporate rucking. Thanks!

GOD bless you, Brother !! Patriots, too !!

my workouts are somewhere between this and Goggins

Sounds good, all long as I don't have to hump ruck AND the Pig again. 🥸

Thanks for sharing sir

You said a 15 min mile is standar, what would be a pace you would consider elite at 20% of your bodyweight?

This is the first program I ever did.

Whaaaaat?? Are you saying the Richard Simons workout I learned in the Corps won't work? But seriously, being healthy and physically fit is arguably the best thing you can possibly do for yourself and your family. If you can't walk, run, hump (ruck), you can't fight.

I’ve done bodybuilding, powerlifting, and football workouts forever but been on a break. I’m trying this style of training now and buying guns. Thanks

Your back must be toast.

Deadlifts are a bad idea. Squats too. Pretend back surgery isn’t an option (because 50% of back surgeries fail and end up causing incredible pain).

Nobody would squat, run, ruck, and deadlift if surgery wasn’t an option.
