Overcome Pain. Build Strength. Forge Resilience.

Anaerobic endurance drives performance when intensity is high and recovery is limited.
It comes down to:
-How fast you can produce energy
-How well you tolerate fatigue
-How efficiently you recycle byproducts
This is trainable, but it needs to be done with intent.

Groin pain during fast lateral movement isn’t random. It’s usually a load problem.
In exits and entries, the adductors are doing two key things:
• Producing force to drive you laterally
• Controlling and reversing motion from a stretched position
That combination puts them under high demand, especially as speed increases.
For mild cases, you don’t need to shut everything down. You need to build capacity where the stress actually occurs.
This progression does that:
Short lever Copenhagen → establish baseline strength
Long lever Copenhagen → increase load/torque
Pulsing reps → introduce control under movement
But strength is only one piece of the equation.
You still need to layer lateral speed and agility work back in so the tissue can handle the actual demands of movement.
Build the capacity. Then apply it.

We built this for the cops, practical shooters, and prepared citizens who want to build:

• Strength
• Power
• Speed / Agility
• Endurance / Capacity
&
• Practical Shooting Skills

… but haven’t found the right plan

…found it hard to put into practice what they learned at trainings

…and wanted do it right this time.

We built this so that you can experience what quality training looks like and feel confident to keep it up after you’ve finished the program.

If you are not getting enough sleep but you are spending your money and time to figure out…

- What supplements will make me perform/recover better
- What peptides am I going to experiment with to improve an injury
- I think I need T-replacement
- Why am I getting hurt so often

You are stepping over bricks of gold to pick up nickels and dimes.

Sleep is the low hanging fruit that will help the performance and recovery problems you are trying to solve.

It is essential. It is cheap. It is safe.

For my sleep deprived first responders, I will often recommend a nap over their workouts or PT when it is bad.

If you do not have the capacity to recover, why add more stress?

Can you be strategic in work/working out when you don’t have a choice, yes. But the long term solution is being prepared with consistent sleep schedules so that you are not destroyed when the demand comes.

Practical Performance and Recovery

Today I joined the Delaware Tactical Unit to discuss effective training and recovery principles. We broke down practical strategies to improve performance, readiness, and durability for the SWAT/Law Enforcement Officer.

Endurance is the capacity to sustain work over time. It is often measured by VO₂ max, our ability to transport and utilize oxygen. While important, performance is also strongly influenced by lactate threshold, which reflects how well energy demands can be supported aerobically before metabolic balance can no longer be maintained.

Training for aerobic endurance should not be viewed as a cost to speed or high-intensity capability. The oxidative system being trained is the same system that improves recovery between high-intensity bouts, increases capacity for tissue recovery, and helps preserve cognitive performance under physiologically stressed conditions.

Beyond performance, endurance training matters for cardiovascular health. In male law enforcement officers, the average age of a cardiac event is approximately 45 years old. Aerobic capacity is not just a performance variable. It is a health and career-longevity variable.

If you want endurance training integrated into strength, high-intensity work, and skill development without compromising any of them, that is the intent behind the Practical Performance Project (P3).

DM or comment “Practical” to learn more about the project.

*As always, this is a simplified version that works for social media. If you want to talk the nuance and specifics, I am happy to discuss it. This is not exhaustive coverage of the topic*

Consistency is your limiting factor.

This program is evidence backed to keep you consistent:

1. Have a plan. We plan, modify, and teach you how to adjust in the moment to be most effective right now.
2. Social Accountability. We connect you with a group on the same journey and instructors who will keep you on track.
3. Enjoyment. Whether finding enjoyment in the process or the outcomes, if you show up, the results will come.

These 3 external factors are what helps you stay consistent day after day. You can check it out for yourself:

Speed: Excellence Lives In The Fundamentals

The approach can be simple. There are other methods and they too can get you faster. But we also know the fundamentals work.

Simply, do it faster. The sprints. Some lifts. And plyometrics. Be strong. Do it consistently. Keep it simple.

You can get into the complexities and break down specific adaptations but the fundamentals done correctly will achieve it whether you want to know the biomechanics and exercise physiology of it or not.

A sprint in full kit will look different from a track sprinter which looks different than a field athlete. Train the tissue , nervous system and just do the tasks. Train the habit of efficiency you can see in stance, acceleration, brakes. It takes consistent reps.

Sooner or Faster? ¿Porque no los dos?

This post leaves plenty of nuance out. If you want to chat it out, I am happy to do so.

Self-talk is the inner dialogue humans have all day long with themselves and it has the ability to enhance or inhibit human performance depending on how it is used.

Self-talk helps humans understand the events that unfold in front of them, explain why things occur the way they do, enhance motivation when the right words and phrases are said, and can be highly impactful in making or breaking confidence. Foundations of Psychology have shown that patterned thinking over time tends to shape beliefs about ourselves and the world. If a high performing individual wants to have high self-concept and develop productive beliefs about their ability to perform, they need to think in certain ways to maximize their potential.

Dr. Robin Vealey of Miami University recommends three criteria to maximize self-talk to meet task demands:

-Purposeful
-Productive
-Present
