The more I ponder the Tactical Strength Challenge the more I believe that most people training to get "in shape" would benefit by simply training for the TSC. Even if they don't compete, would this not be the way to go? Individuals that don't compete could simply test the 3 events twice a year to track progress and I have to imagine that progress in the DL, Pullup and Snatch will have a carryover effect leading to better body comp, increased muscle mass, better endurance, etc. As it is stated:
"Preparing for a max deadlift, a maximum number of pullups and maximum repetitions of a kettlebell snatch places a demand and requires your focus on all three types of strength training; maximal strength, bodyweight strength and cardio-vascular endurance."
By hitting all three types of strength, we are leaving nothing behind and minimizing weak links in the chain. We have seen great articles by top performers in the TSC. Perhaps an entire book dedicated to training for the TSC is in order? Now that would be something...
