Special Operator Training is designed for those who will see combat often. The physical demands required of our special operators is unrelenting.
TeamReach has built this program specifically for those who are deploying into a hot bed. Traditional strength and conditioning is simply not enough to prepare our bravest for combat. This program is designed to be supplemental strength training. There is no running programmed. Feel free program your own running, as needed.
This training is difficult and practical. Operators will find direct crossover to the demands of their job.
With that said, you don't have to be military personnel to train like one. If you are looking for a program to test yourself, give this one a go.
The program is comprised of 5 unique workouts on an A/B week, repeated over a 4 week block.
