LE ATHLETE ON-RAMP TRAINING PROGRAM, JUNE 2014
ON-RAMP TRAINING
PROGRAM
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The following 8-week, 40-session training plan is designed to lay a base fitness level of Strength, Work Capacity,
Endurance, and Durability for unfit athletes, in order to prepare them for the volume and intensity of our officer
sessions and other training programs.
The program is progressive - it increases in difficulty as you work through it. It begins with 4 weeks of bodyweight-
only work, then finishes with 4 weeks of gym-based strength training and work capacity.
Weeks 1-6 you’ll train 4 days/week. Weeks 7 and 8 you’ll train 5 days/week.
In addition to the extra day/week training, the volume and intensity of the sessions themselves increase in difficulty
as the program develops.

4 Rounds 15# Dumbbell and males holding a 25# Dumbbell, then 8x Pushups, then 8x
8x Goblet Squat @ 15/25# Situps, then the Instep Stretch. That equals one round. All movements will be

4x Front Squat - increase load is achievable, then increase load so that by the 4th round you are at a load that
each round until 4x is hard, but is hard but doable for that round and round 5 - 7. Hip Flexor Stretch time will be
doable, then immediately .... considered your rest. Usually hold stretches for about 3-5 breaths a side. After

300m Shuttle every 2:30 between them for 6 round trips or 12 lengths. This is 300m. Typically 300m
shuttle will take around 1 min, 15 seconds. The clock will be continuously
running so every 2:30 seconds you will perform 1 300m Shuttle - the faster you
