So I double checked to make sure this hasn't already been posted elsewhere, if I missed it, Mods please delete...
So one of my fellow Marines and I got picked up to join 19th Groups training detachment recently
(Im waiting for a medical clearance still
) Somewhere along the way one the the guys there sent him this training plan and I figured it would make for an interesting post.
Its called the "Horsemen Training Program", and was designed by some Team Guys (Not sure if that means ODA or SEAL Team). Hopefully someone here can expand on that. I would venture to say that it was ODA rather than SEALs as it lacks any swimming, however there is also very limited rucking listed in the version I have.
The program is basically a conglomeration of Military Athlete, Gym Jones and Crossfit. Also interesting to note, is that is based on cycling, rather than randomization. (Strength, Power Endurance, Job Specific and Maintenance)
The format is basically plug and play one of the MANY workouts listed according to their programming, thus giving it some randomization. Its fairly well put together and the programming they chose to use helps them add strength without losing any endurance. I feel like although Military Athlete is a great program, it lack any solid interval training.
The stated goals for designing the program rare:
"Our goals specifically in making this program are to be able to DL 2.5x, Front Squat 1.5x, Bench 1.5x, Military Press 1x our BW and still be the cardio shape to run 3 miles easily in under 20:00. Also, we will have a score of at least 200 on the SSST. Whatever your individual goals are just tweak this program towards them in order to achieve them within 4 months."
Hopefully some BTDTs have some background information on this program, as well as opinions. I'm fairly certain if they saw the actually program and "packaging" they'd know who designed it. I can email if interested as long as its kosher with everyone here.
