Programming for law enforcement officers has spurred my creativity. It was exciting to move into this new area. None — not a single officer, took advantage of the opportunity. We did, however, link up with a small city department in California, and a committed handful of its officers and detectives are helping us lab rat the programming. I believe strongly that Law Enforcement Officers are professional athletes.

And the first requirement of a professional athlete is to take responsibility for his or her fitness. And back then I knew this was gonna be — one officer at a time. By Rob Shaul. My initial thoughts include a mid-distance shuttle sprint component, upper body strength, explosive power, and core strength.

MTI Base Fitness cycles for tactical athletes are weeks long. Each cycle trains the same attributes — strength, work capacity, chassis integrity, tactical agility, endurance — but with varying areas of emphasis, progression methodologies, exercises, and events. As well, often within each cycle are assessments and re-assessments — which help motivated athletes and clearly demonstrate improvement.

Our lab rats, including myself, do much of the same programming, and constantly assessing their and my motivation to train. While assuring the necessary fitness demands are trained appropriately takes priority, there are many ways to skin a cat and there is plenty of room to add variety without compromising the intent of the programming.

This attention to detail counts, and is one way we try to address the Tactical Athletes Burden of Constant Fitness. Standard: Men — 4.

With our firearms Range Fitness system, we learned fast that we could only improve so much doing these stress events over and over. We had to back up, and take time to purposefully practice shooting fundamentals. Then we test the cycle on ourselves and our lab rats here in Wyoming.
