That shit was rough! Killer sprint/leg day after a heavy back and deadlift workout the day before!! Rise and Grind!!!!

Donovan

I love the military build program, but some of the sprint workouts seem unrealistic. It would be helpful to have guidance on how hard I should run for the 400m sprint on the amrap workout without dying lol. All I am able to do is jog around the track after doing the previous movements. Trying to full out sprint seems impossible.

Skip

Slow, controlled, smooth. Focus on you planting and stride.

Similar to a skip, but kick out one leg as you go. Switch legs halfway through the prescribed distance.

Gallop

Skipping while simultaneously swinging out and crossing your arms.

Skip with Arm Cross

90 degree walking bends at the knee, focus on using the hamstrings to push up as you walk forward.

Walking Lunges

Stepping over the opposite foot while rotating your waist as you move sideways. Switch directions and lead with the other foot halfway through the prescribed distance.

I hit failure so many times today I laughed. I'm smoked

W1/D2 - Chest Day

I've hit total failure everday during the supersets. Huge pump today!

Will

Great workout!  Just challenging enough without being too much.

W1/D3 - Back & Biceps

I was going to try to put this as my cardio before my lifting session to be an alpha chad but I just couldn’t do it, kudos if you can try this

Feels like I want pushing hard enough but the 400’s got me

Gabe

Thank God for my Garmin. I wish I had a track I could hop on to do these work outs but running around my local park hills and all will just help. Good cold wet run in the rain today

Reached muscle failure and a sick pump 😎

Sean

W1/D6 - Arms

W1/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

I feel my lower back now.  Good workout!  I definitely challenged myself on that one, especially with the squat and deadlift.

Mark

I pushed it harder here in week 2. This program has totally changed my repscheme and weights. Felt good to push hard, may not be able to run hard later but I think a good recovery run will do me well or I may not be able to walk tomorrow!

W2/D1 - Leg Day

It's was a good burn.  I could barely do any of the last superset by the end.

I recommend changing the close grip chest press to another exercise. Perhaps cable pulls for chest

W2/D2 - Chest Day

W2/D3 - Back & Biceps

Great workout. Swapped machine fly for cables since my gym lacks that machine.

W2/D5 - Shoulders

Love the pump arms are toasted and shaking

W2/D6 - Arms

W2/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

W3/D1 - Leg Day

Ive hit total failure on this work out every week. I end up having to go to my knees for the decline pushups after the dip at the end

W3/D2 - Chest Day

Arms are shaking as I type this. Great feeling!

W3/D3 - Back & Biceps

W3/D4 - Sprints Pyramid

Fantastic! Sticking with the build programme till the end...

W3/D5 - Shoulders

Great programme. Happy to get phase 1 done!

W3/D6 - Arms (**END PHASE 1)

W3/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

New super set was hard but I made it through my 4th round of dips before hitting failure on them!

W4/D1 - Chest (**BEGIN PHASE 2)

My legs were cooked afterwards, great workout 🔥

Carlos

King of the Yard baby. That left me feeling King of the Yard

W4/D2 - Lower Body

The cable raises roasted me right off the bat, felt the burn all the way through

W4/D3 - Shoulders

Solid trusted super value!
Like the shorter session format!

W4/D4 - Back & Biceps

Starting to feel a big difference. 🔥💯

Joseph

W4/D5 - Arms Day

Tried to hold race pace for the intervals and just jogged the rest periods

W4/D6 - 400m, 800m, 100m Sprints

The first super set makes me contemplate life choices, hard. But I love it

W5/D2 - Lower Body

W5/D3 - Shoulders

Amazing as ever. Working my way through every single rep of the Build programme. It'll take as long as it takes but I'm getting it done 👊
