Skool Rules/Guidelines
This community has really grown over the last couple months, and I just want to throw a couple things out there, so this stays a beneficial place for everyone. This is Your Community - feel free to ask anything you'd like. We'll answer questions about anything strength and conditioning, preparing for military schools or events, managing a fitness business, or really whatever is on your mind. This page is Modern Athlete managed, but it belongs to you, and our vision is that it's a top resource for you to increase your training knowledge. Agree to Disagree - professionals are capable of offering a differing viewpoint or presenting a counternarrative without making things personal or making it an attack. We learn and grow through discussion and debate but keep it professional. Be a good dude. Strength Coaches, this is not your sales page - we value the opinions of other strength and conditioning coaches here and welcome you to take part in the discussion. However, this is not a place to advertise your services. We'll talk about our training teams on here because most people here are on one and frankly, we built the page, but the intent of this community is not to sell services, it's to build knowledge. I don't think we need any more government than that. Get as much as you can out of this page. We're still learning all about Skool, so be on the lookout for more stuff we'll offer here. We'll continue building out the classroom with helpful products and getting some virtual gathers on the calendar where we can answer questions and have some discussions live.
Low bar or high bar squats
Which type would you guys recommend? Ive always stuck with high bar, because it feels good and i get a real good range of motion without significant butt wink. Recently ive tried low bar, i definitely felt it more in my posterior chain. If there are benefits to the different bar placement, i would love to hear about it.
Police academy
Hey guys I know there’s a good amount of law enforcement officers here and I wanted some input. I’m in the final stages of hiring for PD and may have an academy coming up. Wanted opinions on running Warfighter while going through daily academy PT. It’s definitely not the most intense and I do not want to go six months with random exercising daily as my only training, but at the same time don’t know if it may be too much. I’m gonna assume I’ll have to just adjust the program depending on what I’m doing that day.
Getting Lean While Staying Performance Focused
This is something I notice a lot of people struggle with. Wanting to reduce body fat percentage but also being concerned about under fueling and sacrificing some of their performance outcomes. I just wrote a substack on this with a pretty simple strategy for getting better body comp and keeping the intensity high in your workouts. Getting Lean Without Sacrificing Performance Goals I think that reducing unwanted body fat is actually necessary at times for athletes who are performance focused. Unwanted body mass is still mass that we have to move when performing athletic movement, so we want to manage reducing it but doing it in a way that's sustainable and still allows us to fuel our training properly. What are some strategies you guys use?
Programming Question
What programs does Modern Athlete currently have available? Is Warfighter the main track, or are there other options specifically geared toward military service members? Also curious — do you have any programs focused more on athletic development, GPP, or hybrid performance for those not necessarily preparing for deployment but still wanting to train like a tactical athlete? Looking forward to learning more. Appreciate the direction! — Matt
