I know its alot of work but I enjoy slightly higher volume. I also am eating and drinking a butt load of food. I have access to three meals buffet style everyday and all the milk I can drink so food and supplements are in check. Also have access to some of the recovery equipment available such as hot tubs right next ice bath. Foam rollers. And much more gotta love the army.

Also all pressing is done with Fat Grips or Fat Bar and about 80% of pulling as well.

Did I ask a stupid question or something... just wanted a few thought on the program.

If you're following a program that someone else wrote that probably means you're not confident in putting your own plan together. If you were confident and knew what you were doing, you'd just create your own.

My point? Follow Tom's program to the letter for at least 1-2 years before you start making changes.

Fort Benning? Ranger School? You need to work on your CrossFit style strength more than true weightlifting as an operator.

No I am coming out of the military only have 1 month left that's why I am not training for that style I am done with the 10 mile runs. I only was wandering about adding a extra day of training as I prefer to be in the gym atleast 4 days a week. But thanks for the opinion that's what I was trying to get.

If you're coming out then I recommend 5/3/1. Simple to set-up and follow and you can adapt it for whatever your goals are.

Thanks for your service, by the way.
