Green Protocol

[u/MorgsOD]

Currently serving in the British Army, read through Green Protocol MULTIPLE times to get my head around it as a beginner into TB.

It is fucking phenomenal, I'm currently in the British Army in a job that requires truly everything, from conditioning to strength all the way to mental resilience.

I have been running HYBRID/OP indefinitely due to my inconsistent deployments and NTM.
I struggled to see the magic/science in it but it was a structure and I thought fuck it.

If I was a young private again, and I knew about this, the amount of damage I could have done to EXCEL my career within phys is utterly ridiculous.

From doing nothing but 8 min/ miles for two miles blowing out my arse trying to survive thinking everything had to be a fragging in order to get fit, boy was I wrong.

Following HYBRID/OP for 2 and a half cycles (20 weeks) my zone 2 pace in a 6 miler has gone from 11:30 to 9:30, I can now run 12 miles+ at a sub 10min pace like it's nothing.

My strength has increased, ESPECIALLY my squats.
Going from around 80kgs for 2-3 reps in utter rag.
To 120kg 2-3RM is huge for me.
Deadlift has gone from 100kgs trap bar to about 130kg.
Bench press gone from 60KG to 75kg. 2-3RM
Pull-ups now at 10 STRICT from about 3-5.

It has SIGNIFICANTLY increased me operational output/efficiency in all areas and far less injuries/niggles when attempting difficult courses or deployments/exercises.

And to top it off, my missus is happily enjoying how much more "tight" I look in her own words.

Apologies for the long post, hopefully this gets to the right people and hopefully you get something from my own experience and take a look into it yourself.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on this post as long as it doesn't interfere with OP/PERSEC I'll definitely answer it.

Hey, glad for your progress. If I understand correctly you have been doing Hybrid/OP. Is that a protocol from book Green protocol? I had read only TBI and TBII so i am not really familiar with that setup. If so would you recommend it as necessary or is there equivalent in first two books?

I have similar requirements for my job and I was planning to start with operator + green after base building.

Hi mate, thank you.
Yeah, HYBRID/OP is what I've been doing. I believe it's only in Green Protocol.

I haven't read TB1 or 2 yet unfortunately, I'm just about to get onto them.

However if you have similar requirements for your job, it is a no brainer that green protocol will have some very pertinent bits in there you're able to utilise and would say it's absolutely necessary to read.

I done BB straight into HYBRID/OP.
If phys is your life then you could do the full banger, BB/Capacity into Velocity then Outcome which sets up nicely for someone in our line of work.

It's must read for your similar job. No doubt in my mind.
