I enjoy reading about this type of all-around training.
They all read a bit like the Easy Strength/Original Strength version of Tactical Barbell (Conditioning).
Do some of you follow this kind of "rolling" approach that seems popular with certain "seasoned tactical atheletes"? Or do you know of more articles in that direction?

Victor said:I am very unstructured in how I plan my training, however on average, I try to get at least the following:
- 3 kettlebell or calisthenics workouts per week. Some weeks I do two kettlebell workouts and one calisthenics. Some weeks I do the reverse. When I travel or go on vacation, I do almost exclusively calisthenics. Last week I did 30 minutes of The Quick and the Dead with a 48kg and fingertip pushups for one workout. The second workout was 30 minutes of: one minute crawling (forward and reverse), one minute jump rope, one minute farmer carries with two 36kg kettlebells. The third workout was Scott Sonnon’s Flowfit done for twenty minutes. For calisthenics, my favorite workout is doing five burpees every 30 seconds for time. (I switched from ten every minute based on Pavel’s recommendation.) If I want more intensity, I do six burpees every 30 seconds and keep the workouts between ten and fifteen minutes in duration. I also will do longer workouts that are 15-30 minutes with 5 burpees every 30 seconds. For the longer workouts, I usually eliminate the jump at the end of the burpee. These burpee workouts can be boring for some people, but I find the consistency and pace to be quite meditative. And if I want to do more work, I just add time.
- 2 medium endurance workouts per week. Last week I did a 90-minute easy mountain bike ride, and a 90-minute hike with a 60-pound backpack.
- Once per week. I make an effort to do a sport or activity such as a long mountain hike or scramble, two to three-hour dirt bike ride, two-plus hour mountain bike ride, etc.
