Wendler 5/3/1 Program

What's happening, what's up? Not much for us just getting deeper into training. After a 2 month hiatus we decided to keep it very basic & not get too complex. Our base fitness & strength had diminished when traveling through Canada. I think they have some bullshit in their water, although what kept us alive was "Tim Horton's". They are a mixed of a fast-food coffee, pastry & sandwich soup shop. Pretty tasty & impressive for Canadians. Anyway, the Wendler 5/3/1 Program is a 3 week progressive strength program raising the Back Squat, Press, Deadlift & you guessed it Bench Press. Along with some basic assistance work to bring up weaknesses in the lifts. It's very simple percentages off your perceived 1 Rep Max. Week 1 uses 3 sets of 5 reps with the last set a rep out. Week 2 & 3 are the same fashion but 3 reps & the final with a 95% rep out. No frills, no gimmicks just hit your weights for the week & break records. I think it's a good intro strength program for all beginners, as well as anyone trying to get back into the swing of things & BeastMode status. Here are some highlight clips of us leading up to Week 3...enjoy!

Continuing Education

Take some notes from this man, Matt Wichlinski from the eastcoast. He's straight beastin over in Virginia! I like his style of training using strongman, kettlebells, bodyweight, sleds & O-Lifting. Very similar to our style of training. Keep it simple, basic & appropriate to your training needs. My man will explain the rest, enjoy!

Sniper Performance 2nd Annuall Re-Grand Opening Arms & Back Extravaganza!

Yeeeeeaaaah, aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Kids we are back in full effect now that we are finally settling into AK territory. Watch out haters & all my lovers! But seriously the SP blog will be a conscience daily "Max Effort" with no rest in between days. We will blog till we have calluses on our finger tips. Especially when we get deeper, deeper into training prowess! We have some upcoming contests around the way...October 22nd in Reilly's hood, there will be a Strength Extravaganza put on by some folks. NAS strongman comp, USAW weightlifting, USAPL powerlifting meet, USMC Ironman challenge & a CrossFit event comp. We all want to do the strongman comp as well as the other lifting disciplines. We are still deciding if one of us will do the 3 comp challenge...we will see. Oh yeah, NAS nationals is around the corner on November 4-5 in Tunica, Mississippi. I'm currently getting back into BeastMode after a long 2 month layoff after the WA strongest apple. I felt pretty burnt out after that comp & life got hectic. But now I'm back in business & business is good. See you guys in the weightroom...

Finally the crew is back in the same state ALASKA! Ready to start tearing it up. Benji and Jer recently moved up to Fairbanks to work at Fort Wainwright. Reilly is down @ Joint base Elmendorf-Richardson. Will hopefully start posting workouts daily and possibly some video footage. Stay tuned!!!
