So my mate who is a former specialist/PTI (still currently serving just not in that role) is going to train me for a bit. Twelve weeks of Strength/conditioning/hypertrophy/mobility to bulletproof the body before we look at really hitting it hard. Lol
You might recognise the first three weeks as I was a guinea pig for this.

Pretty nuts the drop off in aerobic power on the AB from round 1 to 5.
Round 1 peak output was 1000 units (can’t remember what it’s in…watts maybe?(
Round 5 peak was 650
Maybe more indicative of proper max effort than anything else perhaps
