Happy Holidays, everyone!
I’m considering starting PTTP at the beginning of the new year, and was looking for some advice. I know some of these questions have been answered here previously, but I want to make sure the answers fit my specific situation.
A little background: 35 year old male. 178lbs. Completed simple standard in 2017. 275lb 1RM deadlift after about 4 months of training singles (Daily Deadlift Dose, Westside BB, etc.). Competed in fall 2017 TSC and embarrassingly missed my first deadlift attempt at 270. My goals for PTTP would be a 2x bodyweight deadlift (after which I plan to go back to A+A type training).
My questions start when I consider my conditioning. I have to take an APFT every six months (April, October), so I was hoping to maintain an appropriate level of aerobic fitness while progressing my DL. I usually run the 2 miles in about 14:30-15:00 after year-round kettlebell ballistics and a couple of months of running before the test. If I’m being honest, I’d also like to get faster.
Thanks!

- What would be some good anti-glycolitic options for me? (LSS twice a week? Swings after deadlifts? Hill sprints? Sprint intervals?)
- Have there been people in similar situations that have succeeded in this plan?
Thanks!
