Annie “Gunshow” Dohack of Complete Human Performance has successfully trained over 140 individuals for military selection in several branches of the armed forces. Here, she shares her expertise on how to program for members of this special population, addressing their hybrid strength and endurance needs intelligently so they can pass tests and excel in the field.

In this episode, we discuss:

How did you come to start training military personnel?

What are the most common goals that your military clients have?

How do you start after someone has signed up?

What are the primary principles for training military personnel?

How do you assess client’s progress?

Are there any differences in training between service branches?
