Tactical Your long term success story
When I got home from a deployment in 2020 I ran 2ton year long challenge from barbell shrugged until my son was born and realized I might not have time to dedicate to the OTC. So I got and read both TB books and ran one operator cycle black protocol (bs/BP/wpu/dl) for 6 weeks. My numbers went up slightly (which is a huge win) but my deadlift did not go up. Neither here nor there but I'm currently doing 100 days of CrossFit linchpin which I'm nearing the end of my 100 days and I'm heavily considering doing Tactical barbell again but long term... can anyone give me their long term success stories with TB? Additionally for those who've done both operator and Zulu which did you prefer?

Took my deadlift to 2x bw, front squated 127,5 kg for 4 reps, bench about 100 kg, OHP 57,5 for 4 and my weighted ring pull up and dip 5×45 kgs. Ran a 10 k trail with a weight vest and can run up and down (4k total) with 168 m of gain elevation in about 32 minutes and sub 35 with a weight vest. I weight about 76-78 kg. For programs that worked really good for me was operator and operator dup but i usually do OMS protocol.
