I am doing the [I][I]Training the Tactical Athlete:
Special Forces Assessment and Selection[/I] workouts. I did change (lessen) the actual weight training workouts a little bit, but everything else (runs, rucks, everything) I am following to the T.
I lessened the weight training because I don't need it as much (I have been very active in competitive Oly lifting for years now) and know exactly how much I can recover from in regards to weight training. Plus I train weights VERY intensely (that comes with experience and balls with a barbell) so less is more warranted to me. Still 3 days/wk full body routines, though. When I say less, I am referring to the amount of SETS, nothing else. If I trained the way I know now with the exact protocol (sets/reps/intensity) they're asking for, I know that I WILL lose strength. So I have it down to one hard set per exercise.

Probably not a good idea. You don't wanna get to SFAS, fail, and say 'oh hell, had I only listened to what the experts said instead of my own thing, maybe I would have done better...
At least that's how I feel about it. I would rather prepare how instructed and fail and say 'well, at least I did my best' instead of doing my own thing and later saying 'maybe I should have followed instructions'.
Just me, though..
