Hey guys welcome to episode number 268 of the Industrial Strength Show on today's episode I will be going in depth on three different topics,

starting with the very timely topic of how to,

the best way to train after a layoff.

A lot of us, hopefully most of you haven't done nothing for the past two and a half months, but for a lot of us you might consider it a long deload. We've been away from a fully equipped gym and

now that gyms are starting to open back up I've been getting a lot of questions on what's the best way

to safely get back into training, progress

without injuring myself and setting myself back another one to two months.

So that's the first topic discussed on today's show.

Then the second topic, this is one that's been coming up a lot over the last six to eight

months and that is how to prepare for the new Army Combat Fitness Test. The Army changed their testing after what feels like a hundred years

But I think it's been for 40 to 50 years close to, they finally changed their fitness testing.

So I give my thoughts on that.

Also, how to prepare for that fitness test.

So if you, even if you're not in the military you're not you're not trying to go and get ready and

You're not you're not training to become a soldier if you are a trainer, I think you will find

that portion of today's podcast,

very interesting, because I kind of just think

it through in real time. I didn't prepare ahead of time. I just went through the tests and put together a weekly template

How I feel would be the best way to train for the new tests.

So for the trainers, I think you'll enjoy the programming aspect of it.

And if you're just like a washed up meathead a fitness fanatic and I mentioned this in the

podcast I think you training for those tests might just be a fun way for you to train because it covers all different aspects of strength and fitness.
