Resistance training is incorporated to improve muscular endurance, sprint capacity, and aerobic conditioning, while maintaining focus on PTA performance.
DOMEX Tactical Training supports DEA and federal law enforcement candidates nationwide, with a clear understanding of DEA physical task standards and the demands placed on Special Agent applicants.
Built to support independent training, this program reflects the realities of Southwest training conditions and prepares candidates who may not have access to in-person coaching. The focus is disciplined, test-specific preparation — not shortcuts — aligned with official DEA Physical Task Assessment expectations.
The Training Foundation phase sets you up for DEA PTA success. You’ll learn proper form, understand the key energy systems, and establish your baseline fitness through an initial self-assessment, while strategically managing recovery to prevent injury. The program also includes optional resistance training guidance to build strength safely. Each subsequent mesocycle builds on this foundation, progressively preparing you for test day

Dan has always eagerly provided us with the answers. Dan has always provided the scientific backed evidence to corroborate the information that he has given to us. He passionately loves educating and coaching strength and conditioning to tactical athletes and furthermore, he is extremely devoted to the law enforcement community because he personally knows the requirements which produces targeted results based upon his several years as a tactical athlete himself.
Training by my own design without Coach Dan, I would have run myself into the ground. Coach Dan was able to alter my workouts on the spot with no advanced notice so that I stayed healthy and conditioned. Other times, he identified problems I was not aware of and then helped me to fix those problems.
This program has opened my eyes to the importance of conditioning and body weight exercises which are critical to the PT Test. I have seen an improvement in my overall strength and an increase in my endurance.
