A Complete Plan to Create the Complete Soldier

Build Your Base, Then Peak for the Test

3-4 workouts per week / 45-60 min. per workout

Across two four-week training phases, you'll build a base of strength and conditioning, then hone it to a peak with practice testing. Phase 1 can be repeated as necessary to help anyone get closer to testing shape, no matter their fitness level. Phase 2 is a perfect "peaking" protocol for test day, and Army personnel can also follow it to pass the test again in the future!
