How to improve your weakest event
Deadlift (MDL): Heavy triples at 80-85% of 1RM. 3 sessions per week with accessory hamstring and grip work. Straps on volume days.
BUILD DEADLIFT POWER
Battle Straps
Premium lifting straps for heavy triples. Eliminates grip as the limiter on your MDL working sets so you train the legs and back, not your forearm endurance.
Shop Battle Straps →Standing Power Throw (SPT): Train triple extension. Medicine ball throws, kettlebell swings, and box jumps 2× per week.
Hand-Release Push-Ups (HRP): Accumulate high daily volume. 100+ push-ups per day, split across sets of 15-25 with perfect form. The "release" phase is what most soldiers bomb.
TRAIN PUSH-UPS
Battle Bands
3-pack resistance bands (10 to 125 lbs). Adds load to clean-rep push-up training and gives you assistance options when chasing high daily volume.
Shop Battle Bands →Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC): 40 yd suicide sprints, sled drags, and farmers carries. Condition specifically . this event punishes poor anaerobic capacity.
Plank (PLK): Weighted planks, hollow body holds, and farmers carries. Time under tension is the game.
BUILD PLANK STRENGTH
Hanging Ab Straps V2
Made in USA hanging ab straps. Build the deep core strength that holds a long PLK without shaking. Hanging knee raises and L-sits translate directly to plank score.
Shop Hanging Ab Straps V2 →2-Mile Run (2MR): 80% easy aerobic volume (Zone 2), 20% interval work (400m repeats, tempo runs). Most soldiers run their easy days too hard and their hard days too slow.
CRUSH YOUR 2MR TIME
Hybrid Vest MK2
Weighted vest for loaded Zone 2 runs and intervals. Train a few weeks loaded, take the vest off on test day, fly through the 2MR.
