Training prep for state trooper
I’m starting my NLP and I’ll have 24 weeks till I have to take my fitness test. The test is fairly easy, just a 1.5 mile run and a 500 meter row. And obviously once I start the academy my programming will be out of my hands for six months. I was planning on running the LP for 16 weeks and then adjusting to incorporate cardio to prepare for the test and the academy. Has anyone else had to do something similar or have advice on working cardio in?
And since I’m sure it’ll be asked,
6’
230lbs(roughly 27%bf)
37 yrs old
End of week 1 #’s
Squat: 155
Dead: 225
Press: 80
Bench: 135

Thanks, Ripp. That article gave me some great info. I saved the PDF so I can reference it later. Who know's, maybe I can present it to some people at the academy and get them to start at least adjusting their training.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe

Oh yes, that will work. Showing a government employee how he is wrong works every time!

Oh, I don't expect the policy to change. But the individuals I might be able to sway to the strong side.
