Meanwhile the Army still expects you to max out on situps as an indication of your core strength. The PFT is about as antiquated as carrying an M1 into battle instead of an M4 and the new and improved version they're planning on implementing looks more like watered down Cross Fit than anything that would actually prepare you for the battlefield. Maybe Matt can talk some sense into them. The reverse hyper and glute ham raise alone look like they'd save our backs and knees from long ruck marches.
@@CornFedMF And the new test requires a bunch of equipment most Army bases don't already have. That's why the implementation of the test has been delayed until next year. So they're already thinking about the logistics. But are they thinking about the test itself? I wonder...
@@waifuwrangler Right, it's delayed because of difficulties with logistics. The fact they're attempting to implement a new type of evaluation shows they are thinking about said test.
@@MeliorIlle is it? You can't make exact comparisons but soldiers and emergency responders do have certain cross overs in fitness requirements. Moving as fast as possible wearing or carrying heavy equipment, extracting casualties in highly stressful situations, AFTER you have just covered distances as quickly as possible wearing or carrying heavy equipment
@@sharkwolf7788 Yah yours is delusional and dishonest. Stop comparing yourself to cops and firefighters, and especially soldiers. Unless you're thinking about some POG 42A.
How similar is the Reverse Hyper and Glute Ham raises compared to say. Nordic hamstring curl? It seems like the reverse hyper has more overall back engagement included but unfortunately my gym doesn't have anything even remotely similar to half the exercises on here.
anyone else noticed that all the exercise were lower body, back and Midsection? ie what no one does and everyone remains weak at... there's probably a lesson there! ;)
Is there any variation of the reverse hyper a garage gym guy can do or rig up that would work if you don’t have a reverse hyper? I’ve tried hanging off the end of my GHD but don’t really feel the same
Hike with pack for distance, sprint and jog, swim and bike, various climbing (chin ups and pull ups) overall strong and in shape. Yoke walk, farmers carry, sled pull and push. EVERYTHING1 lol and combat training.
@@WenningStrength An example If you lift weights and walk during rest you cover long walks, add a weight vest and you have covered hiking. It does take planning. I lift 2+ hrs and stay on my feet
I really like this program idea and just started it to give it a try. My only idea is I think the extra back stuff will help with a police duty belt in the vest digging into your spine all day. But functionally, a firefighter and a cop are way different. Firefighters do train with their tanks and definitely need back/core health. As far as call volume and wearing tanks during duty, it's very rare in my area and it's 80% medical calls. Where in law enforcement you're chasing down people who don't have gear on and boots. Then you're fighting people that are high on meth / other drugs that have a crazy adrenaline level. So you need to be strong, athletic, but also very explosive. Work capacity and the endurance definitely helps when fighting someone, but you need to have that top-end strength to go with it. The quicker you can go Hands-On and stop the fight the less of a chance something bad happens. I'm just curious if there's different programming that can add to the power along with the endurance/strength in the tactical program. I definitely support all First Responders, but there is a large difference in job duties. Thanks again for all the programming, videos, and time! Very awesome training videos.
Great questions for patreon. And yes they would be vastly different if the stated population had a base of strength- conditioning already. Unfortunately this can be some of the most unfit groups you could Possibly imagine- so the first 5 or so years must be used to build a general base Your thought on job specificity is a common error seen with most people’s thought problems It should be more of a cognitive approach as to where they share common injuries and skeletal issues 💪💪
@Wenning Strength so is the patreon something you have to purchase separate if you're already on online coaching plan/program? Definitely loving the program so far because it's a change of pace and the work capacity building is definitely a plus. Got too caught up on straight powerlifting and one rep Maxes and overlooked my conditioning. I just want to make sure I keep my top and strength on this program because I know it's not individually based. My CNS apparently likes to touch the 90 percentile territory occasionally. Was kinda unsure about programs really. Where in the example online, it appears the Wenning strength conjugate seems to use the conditioning but also touches heavier weights. I really hope this doesn't come off as argumentative or not appreciative because I know in the end of the day you guys definitely have more experience and know far more than I do in this field. Just wanting to share..lol My best lifts are 485 on bench, 615 deadlift, and a squat triple with 555 parallel, all at 200 lbs naturally. Definitely nowhere near as impressive as say Mr. Wenning himself!! Very grateful for what y'all do and thank you so much for your responses, time, and patience. Unfortunately, I do have an OCD when it comes to certain things, and I will research workout stuff hours on end once I get in the mode. Lol 😆
Matt - love this video. I am reading a lot about lower back biomechanics and your comment about bracing and lower back pain threw me off. How did you come to this conclusion?

You have to think about the logistics of administering a test requiring equipment. The Army is already utilizing a new test.
@@CornFedMF And the new test requires a bunch of equipment most Army bases don't already have. That's why the implementation of the test has been delayed until next year. So they're already thinking about the logistics. But are they thinking about the test itself? I wonder...
@The Last Operator you got out because the Army is behind on exercise? I'm interested how that had such a negative impact on your life.
@@waifuwrangler Right, it's delayed because of difficulties with logistics. The fact they're attempting to implement a new type of evaluation shows they are thinking about said test.
In the RMC we still do Press ups, sit ups, pull ups and the mile and a half for our PFT.
I'm a personal care attendant, and my job involves lifting and transferring people, and I think you may have spared me a lifetime of injury. Thanks
Yep!! Please help us by supporting patreon 💪
@@WenningStrength I think I will do that. I appreciate your work.
Please Add EMS to your audience with Fire, Law Enforcement and Military. We also need to have the same capabilities.
No you don't lol. Comparing cops to military and firefighters to police is already wrong.
@@MeliorIlle is it? You can't make exact comparisons but soldiers and emergency responders do have certain cross overs in fitness requirements.

@@sharkwolf7788 "Do have certain"
Yah like two. EMT personnel don't move "fast as possible" for anything except a big mac.
@@MeliorIlle we have vastly different experiences of EMT
@@sharkwolf7788 Yah yours is delusional and dishonest. Stop comparing yourself to cops and firefighters, and especially soldiers. Unless you're thinking about some POG 42A.

Belt squat was needed at my dept.
How similar is the Reverse Hyper and Glute Ham raises compared to say. Nordic hamstring curl? It seems like the reverse hyper has more overall back engagement included but unfortunately my gym doesn't have anything even remotely similar to half the exercises on here.
That’s why we do online coaching 💪💪💪
Would be great if you could go back to the 75th 3rd batt and train them on camera one more time.
Yep for sure
“Awww he’s just a boy!” 😂
Great info as always. Are there any alternatives for the glute ham raise?

Yup
damn they have the best weightroom set up!

I like how you low key were tellinv them to get your belt squat machine. But hey, when you're right, you're right
💪💪💪

seen it done over a bar on a rack
Yup!!! On patreon
Great stuff ......more fire stuff ..shoulder and neck exercise .....our shoulders and neck get beat up from pulling hose pulling ceilings 👍
Check out the tactical manual on the site brother 💪💪💪

Thanks for doing these videos Matt. As a FF myself, these are great reminders on what to refocus on.
💪💪💪💪
Should Kettlebell swings be in here as well? Can you make a video on how you implement those?
Join patreon!!! Glad to help there

Well lots of those can be high mileage - careful w ur selections
@@WenningStrength
An example
If you lift weights and walk during rest you cover long walks, add a weight vest and you have covered hiking. It does take planning.
I lift 2+ hrs and stay on my feet
What can I do If at my gym this belt squat machine isnt available?
Can you recommend some alternative exercise? 😅
Came up with some easy alternatives on my patreon 💯💯💯
wenningstrength.com/matt-wenning-patreon/
What exercises can I do to substitute the first two exercises? I don't have access to those machines.
Ask on our patreon brother - this supports our efforts here on TH-cam

I'm hooked on Matt's videos. I'm considering becoming a patreon
I sure could use the help 🙏
Gotta love how paramedics always get forgotten about 👍
EMS is just included in fire service. Anyway who cares, it’s not like paramedics aren’t allowed to follow his advice.
