Comments:
The above session is one we had an infantry platoon do today during our squad pt seminar in Fort Richardson Alaska.
Squat Pt is basically a simplified version of the typical Operator / Atomic sessions. The exercises require less equipment and are simpler to perform than some of the more complex barbell movements. You'd be amazed at how bad an 80lb sandbag can fuck up your day.
Training strength is not rocket science. Dan John says to get strong you need to do 3 things.
1) Pick up something heavy
2) Pick up something heavy then walk with it
3) Pick up somehting heavy then put it over your head
What is heavy? 85% of your 1rm is a good start for training 2-3 reps per round. If you don't know your 1rm or are using unconventional equipment then use loads that are difficult but doable.
