    Police Academy I attended was all about PT everyday (Mon-Fri) for 6 months. I got massages, Iced up and slept as much as I could to rehab my body. I retired 29 years later it was all worth it.

      @@IronInfidel when I first got on the job, my first fto was a vietnam vet, he told me your time is going to go by quick. I did not think that and laughed to myself. He was correct all of a sudden I walked into the station house and now I was the OG cop. Just remember there is Academy life, FTO life , Probationary life then there is the real cop life. No regrets I would do it all over again even in this current political climate.

    I have a 6 month live in grueling academy coming up in January and I came here for exactly this type of content and motivation. 33 years old, working desk jobs since I graduated college and decided I wanted to be a trooper. The only real exercise I’m used to is basketball a few times a week. I’d consider myself in moderate shape but I know this academy is next level, one of the hardest military type academies in the country. I am nervous that I don’t know enough about training to get me prepared. This helped a bit, thank you!

    I just found your channel and it’s very good content. I just started teaching younger future LEO’s how to prep for academies swat tests etc. I just retired after 26 years and those wanting to enter this job right now need to be ready. It’s not a great environment but it goes through cycles. It’s still an honorable profession and one people should be admired for doing as long as they do the job right no matter what. I always stayed in fast paced units and spent a long time on the Marshal Task Force. Be fit and look fit and a lot of problems can be avoided. Also learn wrestling or BJJ or something similar. Use your head and mouth the right way and you will avoid the BS.

    I was old when I went through my academy (34). Running, push-ups/ sit-ups should be daily when prepping. I’d try to get to 150% or more of your minimum standards. Weightlifting (deadlift/ squat/ bench press/ press) and mobility in advance of the academy also help a lot. We ran 3+ miles a day plus got smoked by the cadre throughout the day. You want your body to be resilient and let the battle take place in your head. Good luck to those trying to get on.

    Best tip I got about running is skip rope to strengthen the shins and Achilles.
    Buy a road bike and go on long distance endurance rides 50-100 miles.
    Ruc runs to get used to running with gear on.
    Most important is running form. Skipping rope, cycling, swimming are all great low to non impact exercises that will help build up your running.

    Hmmm, I am a former Marine (MP, SERT, MSG, and a couple of other MOS’) and for us a FARTLEK run was not just a simple steady, fast, steady run, it included stopping every ¼ , ½ mile or so to do pushups, sit ups, bend and thrusts, mountain climbers, etc. The platoon Sgt or whomever was leading the run decided on what the run would look like. For instance, maybe the first ½ mile was a steady tempo, with the last 200 yards of the first ½ mile an all-out sprint, then go into immediate mountain climbers, the next ¼ mile was a faster tempo (no sprint), then stop for pushups, then the next 1/8 or so was an all-out sprint, stop for sit ups..and so on - I think you all get the point. Our FARTLEK runs were usually no less than 5 miles long and always in diverse terrain (mountain, flat, city streets, snow/ice, desert etc, just depended on where one was stationed at the time, or where the platoon Sgt or CO wanted to go). While I do agree with the steady, fast, steady concept, it works and I have used it to increase my run times, incorporating the HITT concepts into these runs will really get you where you want to be from a whole body endurance perspective.

      I would suggest start training with your upper body, you will be doing extensive work outs including push ups. They did not let us modify push ups. You could start running then walk for 30 seconds and then run again, keep doing that until you become comfortable without breaks. We did extreme work outs it was difficult. I would do push ups, burpees, sit ups, squats, and run just to get you prepared ahead of time. That will at least help you get prepared.

    Went through five police academies. If you are going to have a timed run I have a program I used to use with some success. I would run MWF just one lap around a standard track. Warm up first but then just run that one lap all out. Don’t hold anything back. Then on Sunday run your target distance. It trains your body to run fast. I used to run sub 9 minute mile and a half’s when I was in my 20s and still managed a 9:30 mile and a half at 34 (I was also 6’3” and 215 at the time). I never worried too much about the longer runs because they were slow they always seemed easy. Most of the academies are not overly physically difficult if you are training hard and hitting the things they usually test for (run, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups). The USMS academy was a different animal though.

But the run is the run and your time is your time, there’s no way to fudge it. Yes, I would say run, then firearms then academics in terms of people failing out. Also off duty behavior and integrity issues.

    Your video just gave me so many of the answers I’ve been looking for. I just qualified for Highway Patrol and I start the academy in 2 months. I’ve always been physically fit and workout hard (spin bike and weight training), but I’m not a runner and didn’t realize the injuries that could happen with running. During the two weeks I was prepping to qualify, I went from never running to giving myself Achilles’ tendonitis in both ankles. It’s been a month and they’re still pretty sore and aside from physical therapy, Ive been resting them. My worry is being able to heal and train within 2 months. Does that sound doable or would you go with a later academy? I’m stressed!

    • @IronInfidel
      @IronInfidel  2 года назад +1

      Hey Kellie! Sorry about the delayed response. That's a tough call. In my opinion it depends on how far away you are from your fitness goals. If you are a beginner runner and not capable of keeping up with the class at your current fitness level, it will be difficult to achieve that goal and recover at the same time (within two months).
      If you are at a fitness level that can get you through the academy, I'd monitor the injury and maybe do periodic recovery runs (soft surface) so you don't regress.

    Calisthenics. Biggest thing. I learned that the hard way. Because it’s all push-ups, pull ups, sit ups

      Yep, this is definitely an important aspect. Thanks for the comment.

    What was your diet like before during and after the academy? Thanks for your advice!!

      My diet pretty much never changes. I fast most of the day. I eat chicken, eggwhites, veggies, sweet potatoes, almond milk and other sources of healthy fats.

    Hey Iron Infidel, I am getting ready to take a PFT (couple months away) will working out like this help for that as well as the academy as you stated? I also need to shed some pounds so I was thinking of doing Tactical Lean and Bodyweight from HTK fitness. Would that work? Thank you so much

    • @IronInfidel
      @IronInfidel  2 года назад +1

      Yes I would recommend both. This type of training should help with a PFT and I highly recommend HTK programs. They are effective and a solid company (We are actually creating a program in collaboration with them).
