Principles of Military Training
The two components of good military training are: its toughness and its effectiveness. This type of preparation must be considered functional. A soldier should not be a beautiful envelope, a fashion plate tailored for Mr. Muscle competitions.
A good soldier must have a functional physique : resilient, enduring, and hardy. Soldiers must then seek to develop other skills such as their endurance in running, their stamina in swimming, their strength through climbing and weight training, for example.
This military bodybuilding routine is therefore not to be favored over any other. It should simply be used to work on certain specific physical skills. We advise you not to neglect your preparation before starting this program.
Training should be done for 4 to 6 weeks, three days a week. Ideally, we should be able to do our workouts every other day.
Here is the military training routine :
- Pronated Pull-Ups (4x10)
- Squats (10x5)
- Diamond pumps (4x10)
- Dips (10x5)
- Supine Pull-Ups (10x5)
- Bench press (4x10)
- Squats (again) (2x5)
- Military presses with bar (5x5)
- Curls biceps (4x10)
You can add variations to the first day and do diamond or pine tree push-ups (3 sets of 10 reps), knee-to-elbow sit-ups (3 sets of 15 reps) or CrossFit sit-ups (one set of 100 reps).
Military Training: Day 2
Second day of training :

As with the previous workout plan, you can add or replace exercises with jump strides (3 sets of 20 reps) or floor-wipers (3 sets of 10 reps).
Military Training: Day 3
Third day of training :
- Circuit (maximum laps in 15 minutes running) or race (5 minutes running at high intensity).
