I just trained for 2-3 months for the Tough Ruck 26.2 w/ 35# ruck in ~7hrs (it's a fundraiser).
While training, I stumbled on VooDoo and 5x5. I bought (and read) SUAR. I'm a first responder so fitness is always on my mind. I'd like to use SUAR to improve. My apology if hijacking a Green Beret forum. If there is a better place for this post LMK.
1st week is done. I'm undecided on Phase 1 or Phase 2 in my particular situation.
54, 5'4" 160lbs
PFA*: 24 HRPU*, 2:30 plank (stopped), 5 strict pull up*, 16:53 2mi (8:25,161 HR )
1 REP*: Sq 225, DL 275, BP* 165, Row 165, Shrug 220, OHP* 105 (haven't lifted in a while so I was cautious)
5mi: 45:45, (9:08, 164 HR)
12mi Ruck: 3:18 35#
90min Zone 2 should be no issue given Ruck data I have.
*Shoulders are an issue right now. So some of my numbers are artificially low. They should improve quick w/ some effort.
Thx
