This is my favorite style of training! It incorporates real-world functionality instead of the "pretty boy" workouts at commercial gyms. Keep up the good work!
This is what all “defenders of freedom” should be doing regularly. Having just one place to train like this near every city would be great. Infidel Training
One thing people don’t realize too is how different stuff like this is compared to regular weight lifting. Someone could be very strong in the gym but if they only are training their muscles in isolation and their body isn’t used to working together then they’ll suck at stuff like this. Compound movements in the gym is definitely something that should be a primary focus for soldiers, cops, and armed citizens
@@artofshadows1797 depends on what you go to the gym for. i personally don't body build. im a powerlifter. nothing like being able to carry out an overweight person (or two) out of a burning building with ease and speed, right? "endurance" training just won't cut it. as i said, as a LEO or even as a fireman, a strength program would be greatly beneficial. plus, why diss bodybuilding? and what's so bad about getting ass tf's wrong wd u AHAHAHAHAH
Sucks that 90% of LE who aren’t associated with any special task force or teams are completely satisfied with “good enough” and it shows in their attitudes, their physiques, and their performance
And bam just like that a video drops and makes my day that much better!! And your intros are still badass as ever! You guys are killing it! Awesome video!!!
I wanted to chime in that I appreciate videos like this. Not long ago I added a shot timer to my training, which changed everything. Having people like yourself post times on training lets me go back to my group and see what we're capable of. You give us goals.
For the low crawl drag, a workout that is equally exhausting on both arms at once would be a heavier sandbag and just carabining the sandbag to the plate carrier. It’s a real smoker! None the less great work
Im 300 lbs and over the last year I've been adding similar kind of drills to improve my cardio ,strength and accuracy when shooting, I run around with sinder blocks and sand bags while carrying some gear and right before I run out of breath I drop what's in my hands and start shooting at different targets at different distances. Great work out ,needless to say I go home exhausted but it feels great. I'm new to your channel and just subscribed 🤙
Thank you for the affirmation! Not only is going to the outdoor range and standing at the bench unchallenging (tryin to be nice here), but it's not how things would truly play out if something unfolded unexpectedly. I made up this drill I call "Run For Your Life!" Personally I like to use 4" and 6" paper plates as targets- they're cheap, easy to see shot placement, and adhere to the: "Aim small, shoot small" theory. I don't time this drill as this one is based on execution with exhaustion. Use 3-4 plates in varying positions and spread way out- some at 7 yds, some at 15 yds; each plate gets 3 shots. I get kitted up and then disassemble my pistol and scatter the pieces on the bench, then start the drill: 20 jumping jacks followed by a sprint to the 25yd target and back, repeat 3x or until I'm gassed (Do NOT lie. If you're not beat, do another run-you only cheat yourself!). On final run back, head to the bench, reassemble, load, and start shooting. But wait! SPOILER!! You only have 5 rds in your 1st mag so you HAVE to reload on the move to finish the drill! This is even more fun with friends who can randomize the rds in the 1st mag so you're truly blindsided by the reload and/or use snap caps to simulate a jam you have to clear as well. Another variation involves the above scenario with the addition of a carbine- instead of a reload, transition from rifle to pistol to finish the drill. This drill packs a lot of punch because it forces the shooter to manage breathing while making controlled, well-placed shots, reloading/clearing a misfire/transitioning to another weapon smoothly, all while on the move. Good luck and have fun!
Nice man that drill sounds like a challenge for sure. I'm glad to here others have a similar mindset with regards to training. I appreciate your support and comment! Alex
I'm a fitness trainer and I tried doing something similar today at home and it's excruciating, but I love it and I'll keep doing it. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Good shit brother! A lot of people don’t prioritize pt into their readiness and training. Shooting flat range is totally different from actual firefight with stress, adrenaline, obstacles and barriers, shooting behind, under, and over cover or concealment, enemy returning fire, etc
this goes far beyond normal training here in USA. Most people just go to a range and accomplish nothing at all, threfore wasting a lot of time and money. The range is for sighting in weapons and thats it. If you think static shooting off a bench is actually challenging you are not a warrior at all ! You are just a lazy Amercan wasting your time and money and likey not even healthy as well. Get off the couch and go get it !
There was a video a while back showing a local gov LEO responding to a call about a possible active shooter at a mall. The LEO had his body cam on while he was running around the mall looking for the guy. Then he run up to a highway and took a kneeling position to pop the guy across the road. You could tell he was gassed. I was impressed with his focus and stress management
Great video!! I enjoyed the mixture of fitness, shooting and overall movement. I truly think our society greatly under estimates the power of being physically fit and how it can save your life if something unexpectedly happens that you have to react to.
Wish you were closer. We just did a three day hike and patrol exercise up in the mountains, including tracking, patrols, for ops, and the most fun was fire watch.
Fitness is important for every aspect of life. Some people understand this others don’t. I haven’t done a stress shoot since the army. I kind of miss it haha.
Great stuff! Awesome content! My only issue is that at the end of round 2 after the farmers carry, you forgot to run back to the 15 and fire a shot... In my book, that means you aint done and the timer is still runnin!😂
Need a hard train for hard times, fisical condition its vital. Every channel they only seek to show you the fast and badass they are or appear to be. We need more channels like these that teach us the essentials. Nice job. I still love this channel a lot.😎👌💪
I created a stress inoculation course and started sharing it around, I was lucky to get a good amount of students for my first two classes.. but I thought I'd share it on reddit go my states gun group.. and boy was that a mistake.. I had people who clearly had no clue what they were talking about just straight up talking shit about how this type of training doesn't do anything.. they argued even further about subjects they don't know anything about such as how our bodies deal with stress.. fyi stress is stress your body can't tell the difference and your brain is only capable of telling the difference when you have experience. Anyway sick video man loved every moment of it. Hoping my stress inoculation course gets more popular and people start to see the benefits in it instead of it being shat on be keyboard warriors. Might add your drills to my system if I can! Thanks
I did train severely dehydrated before.... It sucked but definitely opens your eyes to what your body does when you don't get an adequate amount water to function. Always Hydrate.
Absolutely! The combination of solid content, fitness, martial arts, and firearms can create a well-rounded and engaging channel. Keep up the great work!
All tactical...military...firefighter...etc practical work should be trained in a stressed state! At least 60 percent of the time......it should be easy to perform at a high level or close when fresh and rested! Confrontations are not static...happen when least prepared and at times doesn't get real until after a chase or retreat to then stand ground! Great information and protocol presented.....
Love this brother! Would you have any video coming up on food you eat… I know fitness is key and knowing what fuels you would help me out brother. lol thank you
Yeah this type of training isn't the most fun, but it certainly should be implemented from time to time. Thanks for the comment, it helps us a ton! Alex
Woah now thats a fucking intro...bravo and an excellent topic point. It's more to shooting than just pointing and pulling a trigger. It's no reason to have all the equipment if you can't be mobile with it on. Time to hit the track and get into the gym.
I’ve been working nightshift at factory for two years. Really monotonous and easy work. And I’ve come to realize I got really lazy haha. I have a decent amount of strength and I’m still reasonably athletic but I have 0 stamina. I realized this when I decided to go on a reasonably easy hike the other day and was forced to come to grips with the fact that I would die first I’m the apocalypse.
👍 Most don't know how they'll preforme when fatigued. Or how to compensate/work through it. Awesome video bro. Tony from RealworldTactical is what you get when Sergeant Thomas Highway (Clint E.) and the swede has a lovechild 😉
haha agreed. At the time it felt full ROM...then I watched myself and I could have certainly went higher and lower on the pushups. Thanks for the comment and support! Alex
You are preaching to the choir with me. I try to make this point too and unfortunately some look to firearms or other weapons as an excuse NOT to be fit. They view it as a tool that does the work for you. That couldn't be farther from the truth.
Cool vid! Trying to think of what pistol drills to add to this to make the shooting difficulty match the fitness challenges... I just might make a vid based on this type of workout. 💪🏽
I came up with a drill I call the “Evil Bill Drill” Fire 1 round from 25 to start the drill, then 6 overhead bag tosses with the sandbag, 6 burpees (because everyone hates them), sprint to the 50 yard line and back to the 25, draw and fire the remaining 5 rounds, must be hits, fire more if needed. All on the shot timer for time. I run this with a buddy for some competition. It’s a quick smoker!
Thank you for the video and ideas how to improve! Could I suggest a video idea? Could you make a video of some kind of general fitness routine you are doing and/or your resistance bands routine?
Nice, thanks for viewing our content. Agreed, I don't believe its necessary for every firearms training session (in fact I think it would be counter productive), but it is certainly that should be done periodically.
Just found your channel. Watching in random order for some reason. Videos are outstanding. From content to the cinematography. BZ. ❤️🇺🇸 P.s. RULE #1 - CARDIO
Thanks for viewing our video Jacob. Unfortunately the brand that makes that carrier has not yet released it to the public, so I am not permitted to reveal yet. Once it drops, I'll add it to the description. Wish I could help man. Best regards
@@IronInfidel all good man! I couldn’t figure it out so I assumed it was either a prototype/ sponsored or discontinued. Will there be a review when it’s released?
This video literally kicked my ass and I love it and it got me thinking since I just turned 50. Why not? I shattered my left radial head and have had a prosthetic since 2014. Most sports I loved have been difficult if not painful since. In 2020 the bad news that my prosthetic is coming loose, it will need replacement, so it's not "if", but "when". Mysterious headaches come and go for months at a time and it's uncomfortable enough to not want to do anything after work or so that's been my excuse. But as I watched this video it made me think of all the benefits I'd gain if I'd just MOVE. Sure, maybe the headaches would still be there and my left arm isn't fully functional like I want it to be, but that's the only drawback I can think of. All I have is excuses. I'm starting tomorrow. I've ordered the Iron Infidel band set, a rogue bag and I have all the other gear. I just need the ass kicking or someone to yell at me. That's something I lack is accountability to someone. Thanks for the motivation!! I appreciate you.
I've often thought of doing something like this at my local range, but realized very quickly that I'd be escorted out not only by the rangemaster, but also the local sheriff! It is a great concept nonetheless, and having watched high schoolers stand in line interminably at the archery range, surely something could be instituted (safely) within that gym class/curriculum. Oh well, for now, I'll just get a good workout in first and then shoot! Thanks for the presentation. "- Teach them, PROPERLY, Major Forbes!" - Colonel Robert Gould Shaw.
It is definitely something that I recommend. Even if it is only a couple times a year. It is a great way to gauge progress and give you a realistic idea of how you may perform in a high stress environment.
Excellemt perspective on fitness and shooting or reacting under physical stres. Most Amercans today are not fit at all and quite lazy. They think if you have all the bells and whistles you are good to go, and that is a huge mistake in every realm of events. How many people under 40 or 50 do you know that can run a mile or even run two wind sprints back to back and fire accurately ? Most cannot run a mile or even one WS without a heart attack or total depletion of their physicality. Thanks for pointing out the obvious as I have done the same many times for years now and been greatly villified for telling the simple truth of these matters. Never stop training at all levels and this is a perfect example of functional fitness and cross training I have been teaching for years. Most will never go there. I have a lot of fun with all of it,, why not ?
Thanks Dwayne! Unfortunately the brand has not yet released the carrier, so I am not permitted to reveal who makes it. I believe it releases in July though, so hit me up then. Best regards, Alex
Oh my godness that's f*cking awesome. Good job man. That's the spirit. By the way, incredible video. The song is motivating! What's its name ? Good continuation. +1 sub
@@IronInfidel I love your videos! However for a new shooter this would not be a great idea. And, this is not my idea, its from experienced shooters making the recommendation to stop shooting when you are tired. Dry fire would be a great alternative to train while exhausted. That is what I have been doing with Mantis X systems.
Nothing like training hard to improve all aspects of being able to put rounds on target. It would be nice if we could find a way to get that adrenalin dump when under fire to train with!
Hey Alex based on your experience why is it more of a preference to wear Ceramic plates over Anti-Spall Steel Plates? From my understanding, both level 3+ ceramic and steel plates weigh the same
I don't have experience with those steel plates, but if memory serves me correctly, I've heard they don't completely eliminate spall (or maybe not always?) T-Rex arms has a good livestream about plates and I think they tackle that topic.
Thanks man! Unfortunately the carrier has not been released yet, so I am not permitted to reveal the brand. It should drop soon though. Sorry I can't help you brother.
Fitness in general is probably the most underrated aspect of preparedness. Fitness is hard. Buying guns and gear is easy.

Thank you for the affirmation! Not only is going to the outdoor range and standing at the bench unchallenging (tryin to be nice here), but it's not how things would truly play out if something unfolded unexpectedly. I made up this drill I call "Run For Your Life!"

Cool vid! Trying to think of what pistol drills to add to this to make the shooting difficulty match the fitness challenges... I just might make a vid based on this type of workout. 💪🏽
For sure. Next round i'm going to make the shooting portion more challenging. Thanks for the comment and support!
I love your stuff man.
I'm glad to hear that. Comments like that keep us motivated to keep making videos. Thank you!
Alex
I came up with a drill I call the “Evil Bill Drill”
Fire 1 round from 25 to start the drill, then 6 overhead bag tosses with the sandbag, 6 burpees (because everyone hates them), sprint to the 50 yard line and back to the 25, draw and fire the remaining 5 rounds, must be hits, fire more if needed. All on the shot timer for time. I run this with a buddy for some competition. It’s a quick smoker!
Nice man, sounds like I need to try that out. It sounds challenging
good stuff soldier.
Thank you for the comment Rafael!
Alex
That actually looks fun. I'd like to do this workout followed by trying to shoot rifle targets at various distances.
It's a good time and it can be an eye opening experience.
Outstanding training!
Glad you think so!
Thanks for share, very good material
Thank you sir, your comment helps us alot!
Alex
Bought one of your shirts man. Great videos
NICE! Thank you for supporting our brand Tate! I appreciate ya
Alex
This a good drill. Ive seen some Miami swat team drills that tax the body too. It would be cool to see more drills or two ppl buddy system drills
I love that buddy team drill idea. That is 100% going to happen in the near future.
THIS is proper training.
Thanks Tom! We will produce more content just like this in the future. I really appreciate the comment.
Alex
WATCH YOU ALWAYS !!!!! GOOD JOB !!!!! FROM RUSSIAN COUNTRY I DID MYSELF 19 YEARS IN ARMY NOW RETIRED BUT MY SOUL STILL STAY THERE ))))
Thanks for the support and comment Igor!
Alex
awesome video. might try an iceplate from Qore Performance to keep you cool in training and its same as your plates.
That is actually a great idea. Ive been looking into them. Thank you
Really loving the content🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the support! Comments help us a ton, so I seriously appreciate it!
Alex
@@IronInfidel anytime bro looking forward to future content💯💯
Thank you for the video and ideas how to improve!
Could I suggest a video idea? Could you make a video of some kind of general fitness routine you are doing and/or your resistance bands routine?
Thank you I appreciate you watching .
I actually like this approach. Like you said I wouldn't make it a regular thing; but every now and then. Why not. Thanks for the content.
Nice, thanks for viewing our content. Agreed, I don't believe its necessary for every firearms training session (in fact I think it would be counter productive), but it is certainly that should be done periodically.
Great video
Thanks for the comment Mike! I appreciate it!
Alex
The shake weight reference! 😂
Always shake weight
Definitely love the minimalist plate carrier… Can you share the brand and model?
That is the Core plate carrier, by High Speed Gear.
Just found your channel. Watching in random order for some reason. Videos are outstanding. From content to the cinematography. BZ. ❤️🇺🇸
P.s. RULE #1 - CARDIO
Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it.
Love the video. Endurance and stress shoots are a must. What is the plate carrier??
Thanks for viewing our video Jacob. Unfortunately the brand that makes that carrier has not yet released it to the public, so I am not permitted to reveal yet. Once it drops, I'll add it to the description. Wish I could help man. Best regards
@@IronInfidel all good man! I couldn’t figure it out so I assumed it was either a prototype/ sponsored or discontinued. Will there be a review when it’s released?
Shake weight? Lol you’re kidding right?? Great video btw. Loving your channel!!
Would have Been great if he put an Amazon link for them lol
haha yeah I'm kidding. Thank you for the comment Stephen!

This video literally kicked my ass and I love it and it got me thinking since I just turned 50. Why not?
I shattered my left radial head and have had a prosthetic since 2014. Most sports I loved have been difficult if not painful since. In 2020 the bad news that my prosthetic is coming loose, it will need replacement, so it's not "if", but "when". Mysterious headaches come and go for months at a time and it's uncomfortable enough to not want to do anything after work or so that's been my excuse. But as I watched this video it made me think of all the benefits I'd gain if I'd just MOVE. Sure, maybe the headaches would still be there and my left arm isn't fully functional like I want it to be, but that's the only drawback I can think of. All I have is excuses.
I'm starting tomorrow. I've ordered the Iron Infidel band set, a rogue bag and I have all the other gear. I just need the ass kicking or someone to yell at me. That's something I lack is accountability to someone. Thanks for the motivation!! I appreciate you.
Man that was awesome to read. Having that effect on just one person makes it worthwhile. Thank you for everything brother. I appreciate ya.
Alex
I've often thought of doing something like this at my local range, but realized very quickly that I'd be escorted out not only by the rangemaster, but also the local sheriff! It is a great concept nonetheless, and having watched high schoolers stand in line interminably at the archery range, surely something could be instituted (safely) within that gym class/curriculum. Oh well, for now, I'll just get a good workout in first and then shoot! Thanks for the presentation.

It is definitely something that I recommend. Even if it is only a couple times a year. It is a great way to gauge progress and give you a realistic idea of how you may perform in a high stress environment.
Excellemt perspective on fitness and shooting or reacting under physical stres.
Most Amercans today are not fit at all and quite lazy. They think if you have all the bells and whistles you are good to go, and that is a huge mistake in every realm of events. How many people under 40 or 50 do you know that can run a mile or even run two wind sprints back to back and fire accurately ? Most cannot run a mile or even one WS without a heart attack or total depletion of their physicality.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious as I have done the same many times for years now and been greatly villified for telling the simple truth of these matters. Never stop training at all levels and this is a perfect example of functional fitness and cross training I have been teaching for years. Most will never go there. I have a lot of fun with all of it,, why not ?
Thanks for the comment and support man. Fitness is a lifelong journey and it can never be neglected. Sorry about the delayed reply.
Hello, great video !! And your plate looks really great! ! May I ask you the brand and model ??
Thanks Dwayne! Unfortunately the brand has not yet released the carrier, so I am not permitted to reveal who makes it. I believe it releases in July though, so hit me up then.
Best regards,
Alex
awesome combination
Thank you for the support and comment!
Alex
Oh my godness that's f*cking awesome. Good job man. That's the spirit. By the way, incredible video. The song is motivating! What's its name ?
Good continuation. +1 sub
Thank you Tristan! I appreciate your support and comment! More content coming soon. Best regards,
Alex
YOU AND TONY NEED TO DO A VIDEO TOGETHER!!!! That would be epic!!!! 💪🏼
I second this 👍
haha I would definitely be down for something like that! DANIEL you are a solid supporter! We appreciate you!
Alex
For those that don't have access to this type of range:
Do this with DRY FIRE! You get the same principles and practice down.
yesssss. I completely agree man.
@@IronInfidel I love your videos! However for a new shooter this would not be a great idea. And, this is not my idea, its from experienced shooters making the recommendation to stop shooting when you are tired. Dry fire would be a great alternative to train while exhausted. That is what I have been doing with Mantis X systems.
I probably need to do this. I can't even hold a replica of a 6-pound AR for a long time without my wrist aching.
Yeah man, definitely incorporate some weight training into your routine.
This great man! (South Africa )
Thank you Lucky! I appreciate it!
You’re a badass! Well done! 🤙🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Ricardo! I appreciate you viewing our content and leaving a comment.
Alex
Nothing like training hard to improve all aspects of being able to put rounds on target. It would be nice if we could find a way to get that adrenalin dump when under fire to train with!
That is the missing link. Force on force does a decent job...especially with an audience haha.
Alex
Awesome video, may be easy for you but most of us would have been out after the first round.
oh I was gassed aswell haha. We all have work to do 🤜🤛
Alex
Hell yeah!!! This is the way!!!
SPAAAAARRRRTAAAAAN. You are the man
Hey Alex based on your experience why is it more of a preference to wear Ceramic plates over Anti-Spall Steel Plates? From my understanding, both level 3+ ceramic and steel plates weigh the same
I don't have experience with those steel plates, but if memory serves me correctly, I've heard they don't completely eliminate spall (or maybe not always?) T-Rex arms has a good livestream about plates and I think they tackle that topic.
@@IronInfidel nice thanks for replying, good content
Like the camera work... to the "Gun Show"!!!
haha thanks for the comment man!
Great content as usual. Who makes that plate carrier? Thanks
Thanks man! Unfortunately the carrier has not been released yet, so I am not permitted to reveal the brand. It should drop soon though. Sorry I can't help you brother.
