I wanted to create this post for those who are in healthcare looking specifically for fitness programs that can accommodate our insane schedules, stress, and needs. Hopefully it pops up when people search similar terms. Tactical barbell might be the answer. Although this program was originally created for our tactical community, the operational need for fitness in healthcare can be paramount for long term success in medicine. Physicians, nurses, and anyone with clinical contact knows how important it is to stay in shape for our patients and ourselves. This starts with a foundation in strength and conditioning while navigating the strict time demands of our profession. Funny how much cross over there is from tactical populations. As someone who has been in the medical community, tactical community, and tactical barbell community, this program absolutely meets those demands. The stress and time that typical programs incur often alienate people in our profession from working out at all. I wholeheartedly recommend using this program as a basis for any student, resident, attending, etc, who want to gain strength, build size, or become a fit version of themselves. This program is achievable during even the most time-limited periods of medical training, and is highly adaptable to our schedules. The ability to grind out a quick TB workout after a 24-hour shift on call is something I have not seen replicated by any other program. Please, search the wiki in progress and this subreddit for specifics about the program and read the books to learn more.
