I know this isn't a 'training' forum but I wasn't sure where else to ask this question.
-relevant demographics: My name is Brett. I'm a 35 y/o male @ 5'11" 190-195# with around 10% BF
I'm a former Pararescue Jumper for the US Air Force (2004-2013). Became active in fitness during high school athletics but took it to a new level when I passed the PJ pipeline. I now train at least 5 x's per week with weights and typically throw in some cardio like running, swimming or bike work.
- injury history: While serving on active duty I ruptured a disc in my back (2009) and had 2 surgeries before medically separating from service in 2013. I still have some discomfort in my lower back, right side when I squat heavy but nothing outside of that. I tend to use pistol squats, lunges and machines more often than heavy barbell squats because of this.
- movement history: During my rehabilitation I attended Athletes Performance (now EXOS). FMS showed great flexibility and my VO2 max was in the mid 60's. Probably still similar to that screen now.
While I was there I learned many drills that are in line with Strong First and really enjoyed it but never stayed with the program after I separated from service. This is why I bought Beyond Bodybuilding, I want to get back to a program like that or one in line with Strong First.
- sports/competition history: No desire to compete at the moment. I just want to be a weekend warrior, increase strength and perhaps run some obstacle races in the future.
-where do you want to go from here? This leads me to my question.
I recently read through Beyond Bodybuilding and loved the Strong as You Look Series but can find any exact info that speaks to what the entire program would look like. Is there any info out there that would help me build a program like this or is there program that is the same?
Thanks,
Brett
