In addition to Mr. Wendler’s advise, especially the “shut your mouth” part, my 02.
I am from a SOF background, so, take this from that perspective:
I see a lot of these threads pop up, especially on the Combat Forum, where I hang out. What training program works best, because,I am joining the Seals, Rangers, Marine SOG, etc, and “I dont want to lose mass” or “will my arms shrink” or “my deadlift PR will go down”. WTF??? Your job, if you succeed, is to kill all enemies of the United States, both foreign and domestic, with a big emphasis on KILL. As an Officer, you will be leading troops into COMBAT, not to the nearest gym.
The biggest challenge ahead of you is your COMBAT MENTAL MINDSET, not your deadlift or squat total. Get your head right, survive the training. Without deciding to win at all costs, no training in the world is going to help you pass.
I wish you success and if do, then worry about your weight totals.
