I actually like his programs for the most part but he fucked himself with a terrible naming structure.

isn't this book highly specialized or something
do i need to read his first and second book, or do i jump straight to this one

I think this is basically some very very simple 3x5 or 5x5 with some percentages slapped on to it. You do not need to read anything other, its very simple plug and play.

Finally a "let me guess you need more" thread that is not a faggoty attempt at trolling. OP must be a tourist and a newfag. A tourist and a newfag who came in with the knowledge of a good program that is kind of obscure in these dyel circles
I like your book Mr Black. Sign the cover for me.

shitty dead board

A SOCIETY THAT SEPARATES ITS WARRIORS FROM ITS SCHOLARS WILL HAVE ITS FIGHTING DONE BY FOOLS AND ITS THINKING DONE BY COWARDS
- Thucydides

audiobooks truly are a great way to pass the time during cardio and even can be done while lifting (but usually i'm more of an audiobook during the cardio, pavarotti during the lifting guy)
anyone else reading some books/listening to some audiobooks recently? recently finished evola's ride the tiger and think it's a good book for putting a man in the right spiritual mindset to be /fit/ in an increasingly r*ddit world. i'm probably going to be starting something by carlyle or chesterton during my daily cardio but i'm open to any suggestions

this is a concept that transcends the usa's current situation and predates the creation of the united states by literal millennia
it is a universal concept
read books
listen to audiobooks if you're too lazy/busy to read books

not seeing my vampire system on this list sir.

post more literature niggers

Professional American soldiers can be some of the coolest dudes but said dudes would just call their lifting book a lifting book and then be like yeah I also kill brown kids for Israel and the lifting helps with that. The ones who would litter it with military speak are the worlds biggest jackasses. I fully expect this book to be retarded.

>>76367850
It's a good book, but it's nothing special. The non-green protocol book too, TB1 and TB2. They're just very basic solid workout programs with a focus on periodisation. They also require very little thinking, which is good for people that want to just be told what to do, makes it easier to stick with the program. The idea is that you're focusing on few core exercises, but make them solid (e.g. bench, WPU, squat, deadlift only). Then you do them 2-3 times a day, around 3-5 sets with the prescribed % of your ORM. Retest ORM every ~6 weeks. Mix that with some conditioning, which the book stresses and programs similarly, and you're done. The green protocol book (OP posted) focuses more on the conditioning/endurance side (so cardio is a focus, either aerobic or anaerobic), but the TB1&2 books are more strength-focused.

I feel like the military speak and names in the book are just a marketing gimmick. Annoying one, in my opinion, but it does probably sell better. The programs are still solid though, just very basic. I tried it and I liked it, specially if you live a busy life, but you do have to ignore the militarisms.

>>76368594
2-3 times a week, not a day, obviously.

>>76368594
his books are king exactly because of the simplicity to be honest
complicated and complex routines are for people who wants to make the gym their entire personality and existence
but the other 99% will have no issue hitting their natty limit on a simple no bullshit program like his books

Okay I'm reading the one called mass protocol and idk..
This guys wants me to do 3 compounds a day 3 days a week with no more than 30% of my 1rm. For six weeks.
On top of steady state cardio for 30 minutes 3 days a week. There's no way in hell I'm gonna do 3 sets of 10 with 15% of my max. Is he joking? Is he paid to get soldiers and police mogged to death?

>>76371930
>There's no way in hell I'm gonna do 3 sets of 10 with 15% of my max
Sorry if this is stupid question. Why not? Is it to light?

>>76371948
Uh, yeah. To put it lightly. You should be able to get half your max for 30 (real) reps (once). But even on the 30 rep days you only go up to 30%. Yeah okay, you're going it with 3 different compounds with no rest and repeating it times but that's still decidedly light work. And that's the heaviest day. What is the actual point of the other days where it's fewer reps and less weight than THAT? I don't care how much you love periodization (the greatest trick the devil ever pulled) I'm not finding and benching a 37.5lb barbell for 3 sets of 10.
>hurr durr get your bench number higher
With this? And so I can bench a 45lb barbell forb3 sets of 10?

>>76371978
That seems a bit strange. Is there any explanation behind that in the book?

>>76371999
He says it's just the base building program to prepare you for the real program. He says it's optional too. And I've obviously got a distaste for periodization anyway. Just to be impartial. Like I said idk.. maybe.. I'm not trying it personally.

>>76372022
In that case it can make sense. When you start out with something new then going really light lets your body get familiar with the activity/stimulus/stressor and that really helps in getting the body accustomed to it. For example if you jump in to a training routine you never done before it can overwork you and you end up overtrained or injured but if you ease in to it your body can handle it.

>>76372031
Yeah maybe. Someone else can try it and let me know if repping out the barbell for six weeks fully prepared them to start doing *reads further into the book* 12-20 sets per week at 60-80%. Working up over the course of an eternity to that 80% of course.
When I was a young soldier we just did bodyweight stuff and ruck marches to failure all the time. No periodization in the jungle.

>>76372070
>When I was a young soldier we just did bodyweight stuff and ruck marches to failure all the time. No periodization in the jungle.
That's pretty much the Green Protocol book, you're doing a few sets of 60-80% on average for compounds and endurance movements, but you're expected to be doing all sorts of (ideally off-road/on trails) conditioning 6 times a week, especially in the form of running
It does make sense, police and firemen don't need to train for maximum strength (unless they are into that, which is fine) at all, they just need a solid strength base to make their own job smoother, everything else is endurance and conditioning

>>76371764
WPU = Weighted pullup.

>>76371930
Honestly I didn't read that mass protocol book, because it's not really made for me. It's not meant for people aiming to be "strong", it's made for people that want to merely look strong (i.e. not soldiers or police. But like bouncers and fuckboys). And it's aiming to do that via increasing sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, instead of myofibrilar hypertrophy. And low intensity, high volume exercises should be great for that, if you subscribe to the science between the two types of hypertrophy at least.

Picrel is the protocol I used, which is his "operator" template from TB1 book (and I also tried the programs from the green protocol book). This one is much less autistic, the loads are 70% up to 95% of your 1RM. The lifts being WPU, bench press, squat and (once a week) deadlifts. This is the one I used, had success with and read enough about to know that it's not nonsense. Don't care about the goals of the mass protocol book, so I mostly ignored it, nor will I endorse it.

Whether you like the high amount of conditioning (e.g. steady state cardio, though it does switch up after base building) is up to you. I personally loved it, specially since I was a bit of a chublord before. It helps with my recovery times and it feels cool to be able to run a decent half-marathon on demand at any point. And I guess if some soldier wants to train with the "military training book", running should probably be the #1 exercise... So it makes sense - but I don't care about that, I benefited from it independently.

I was in SOF and am a program nerd. Several times throughout the years, I've tried to go on this subreddit and am completely walloped by all of the acronyms lol. It really is like a civilian listening to a few soldiers talk shop.

>>76372529
That makes sense and this template looks a lot better.
