Performance is strength applied repeatedly.
I also have two other programs in my system of training that may suit you better!
2. Tactical Performance Training: Best for Military, Fire, and Law Enforcement.
3. Run Strong: Best for Runners.
- This Performance Strength Training Program is my signature strength system that I have found so successful with hundreds of elite tactical athletes and civilian endurance athletes.
- It builds strength with cluster methodologies and explosiveness with clean pulls, snatch pulls, and jumps.
- It builds muscular endurance for running and uphill performance.
- Main strength movement = SQUAT, Main Accessory = HIP HINGE, Endurance = LUNGE.
- This program is all about strength and performance improvement outside of the weightroom, with minimal emphasis on muscle mass gain.
- It is an intermediate to advanced lifting program, with access to a good gym or a nice home gym necessary.
- 18 weeks
- 4x days per week (also available in 2x and 3x days per week versions)
- 2x Upper Body, 1x Lower Body, 1x Core and Hips
- Average length of each session: around 1 hours
- Pairs with all Transcend Endurance Half Marathon Programs
- $50 on Training Peaks
- $40 as an excel file on Transcend-Endurance.com
The Performance Strength Training Program is my signature training system that I used most frequently during my 4 years as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Coach to train soldiers for elite events, including Special Forces Assessment and Selection, RASP, and Ranger School. I found it incredibly effective in both the tactical and civilain setting to build strength that carries over to performance. Access to a commercial gym or a good home gym is necessary to do all the exercises in the program, with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, bands, etc.
Training Peaks is an amazing software that allows you to sync the workouts to your Garmin. You will be led through the endurance workouts from your watch in real time and through the strength workouts (if you pair it with one of the Transcend Endurance Hybrid Strength Program) from the app on your phone with the ability to log your completed weight/reps/etc.
The Transcend Endurance Course will also be sent to you with this program. That educational guide will help you get to know me and what I believe in, gain a better understanding of the programming concepts, it will help you individualize and adjust the program to flexibly meet your specific needs, and it provides numerous practical application tips to implement the program well and get the most out of your recovery. There are 3.5 hours of audio recordings on all the slides that you can reference at your own pace. I was advised to sell this course for $500, but I wanted to help the most people possible and believe that everyone that buys one of my programs should have access to this information, not just my private coaching clients.
Transcend Endurance, founded by a former Green Beret, specializes in offering comprehensive training programs for runners and tactical athletes, effectively combining endurance and strength training. Dave worked as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning coach with the Army for 4 years and also has a Masters Degree in Exercise Science.
