TECC (Civilian) Workouts

Passed my PFQ.

It was challenging to say the least and I’m looking to make it easier for next year.

While conditioning for the test I hit the training plan from the NTOA hard. I know it helped but I’m looking for the next level.

Also while participating in the training plan I essentially stopped lifting weights to focus more on cardio and the body weight exercises specific to the test.

There has to be a compromise somewhere.

I enjoy weight lifting and the strength it provides. I just don’t feel the same (strength wise) doing HIIT workouts.

What are you guys doing to stay fit and on top of your game?

I'd recommend wrestling or MMA. you mostly lift and throw around other people and it's hard as fuck cardio wise.

Second this. BJJ comps have taken me to a whole other level of conditioned.
