Improve your job performance and build lean muscle mass with a program specifically designed to increase muscular endurance. Don’t overlook this key and essential quality that will give you the ability to maintain optimal functional fitness and sustained performance.
A tactical athlete is a first responder – law officers, firefighters and those in the military – that needs to possess the athletic prowess to perform optimally day in and day out within their job description. No matter what the first responder’s current assignment is, training as a tactical athlete will contribute to optimal performance and career longevity.
Whether you’re a tactical athlete, planning to become one or just want to train like one, we have the right program for you.
The program design included here is for the individual to work on their muscular endurance which is a key component for optimal performance and career longevity. Additionally, muscular endurance is crucial for the tactical athlete who finds themselves lifting and moving external loads or resistive forces repeated times throughout their daily jobs. Muscular endurance is the body’s ability to exert sub-maximal contractions and repetitions with a certain force or object. An example would be to conduct a bench press, squat or bicep curl for generally 12+ repetitions and more. This repetition count correlates to an intensity of less than 67 % of your One Repetition Maximum (1RM).
Furthermore, the exact rest periods are programmed into this four week program which will keep you focused on building the physiological adaptations of muscular endurance. This stresses the glycolytic energy system by limiting the time your muscles energy stores are able to replenish. Therefore, the body then begins to handle and adapt better to stress.
By building muscular endurance through this program, you will make physiological adaptations that will improve both your anaerobic and aerobic capacity.

Now that the job description and role of a ‘tactical athlete” is clearly defined, and why muscular endurance is needed for the tactical athlete, then how does an individual train like a “tactical athlete?”
Conducting training based upon a tactical athlete’s job description entails devising a program design for what they do through utilizing the three anatomical planes of human movement. Training this way makes the tactical operator better equipped to successfully conquer any physically demanding task they encounter. Not only does this accomplish these objectives but equally important, assists the operator in aiding them in preventing Musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. The three anatomical planes of human movement are the following:
(A) Sagittal plane which separates the left and right sides of the body
(B) Frontal plane which separates the anterior and posterior of the body.
(C) Transverse plane which separates the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) halves of the body
A “tactical athlete” should center their training and take into account all three anatomical planes of movement. This is not an all-inclusive list but rather a representative sample of the desired movement patterns in order to elicit optimal physical performance.
Resistance Training Exercise Techniques
Bench press, deadlift, squat, Romanian Deadlift and several more with the purchase of the program.
Bodyweight Exercises
Pull/Chin-ups, push-ups, planks and several more with the purchase of this program.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE PROGRAM • $39
Our program is comprised of four workouts devised into a two-day upper and two-day lower body split to be conducted for anaerobic conditioning through resistance training. This routine will add a fifth day of muscular endurance training (as a bonus feature) that can be programmed in giving the athlete an excellent option to progress their training even more tactically by taxing the body with entire workouts that only use unconventional methods such as bodyweight and sandbags.
If muscle endurance is paramount, this program is for you.
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.
