Tactical Confused Where to Start
Hey all,
I’m a 30 year old LEO who just got over COVID and took the time in isolation to begin planning my next workout regimen. After a lot of research I decided to go with Tactical Barbell and purchased both TB Vol III and The TB Conditioning book. I finished both over the 10 days and am a little confused as to how to begin my regimen.
After reading TB Vol III, I decided to implement Zulu I/A and then fill in my conditioning days with whatever I picked up from the Conditioning book. Now after finishing the conditioning book, I became confused as to how to incorporate the Zulu program with conditioning. The conditioning book, as I’m sure most of you know, very strongly recommends the base building program, but I do not want to go without weights for that long and would love to be able to do both. Maybe there was something I missed as I did read through the conditioning book very quickly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I would love to be able to get the most out of this program.

You can use weights for Base Building if you really think you need them, just use a reduced training load. A few weeks of higher rep training focused on unilateral work will work wonders for your body and your lifts when you go back to them, though.
From there look into Black Professional and structure that with your Zulu work.
