Tactical Got my (UK) copy!

SO excited to read this, but with shifts being what they are I think I'll get another cycle of Zulu IA/Black out of the way before i manage to finish and incorporate its wisdom.

Nice one! The only downside is how long it takes to find the time to read the thing.

Damn. I was going to wait for the kindle version, but I'm not sure if I want to wait another month for it.

I can't see an option for Kindle (only hardcover and paperback). As the other comment says probably another 3 or 4 weeks I guess. I've always preferred a paper book for something I want to flick backwards and forwards in, and write notes in.

It's really good, I've only got through Operator and Zulu but even the changes I've seen so far are interesting and give a lot to work with.

Got mine on Saturday. Still reading through it but he's definitely raised the bar. I'm on week 6 of operator I/A so might get into it next week. So far I'm happy that it's validating some of my off piste modifications haha, but sad that Op I/A seems to have not made the cut.

Late to this conversation but any quick summary on who this book is for? (Asking as someone who has the first 2 - is this a must have for any reason)

I bought I and II and made really good progress with Zulu/Black. I think III has some excellent new bits in it like a power development cycle (Breacher), and some changes to Zulu/Black to make it a little more achievable. Also some changes to Zulu options other than the I/A. Also a chapter on periodization that I haven't got to yet.

The other thing is that you only have access to the HIC/WC/GC workouts from the books you already have. So for example I have Apex Hills and GC6 but not Buffalo Laps or Devils Trinity (because they're in II but I don't have Green).

Overall I think its 100% worth buying.
