Ranger Workout of the Week

I had the privilege this past week of training 2 of the Rangers finest, Danny McMillian, LTC and Nick Barringer,CPT. They visited Pro Performance for a day to discuss our system of training and to exchange ideas and methods. They also got to experience our training first hand. The Friday workout is the workout they conquered. I want to thank them for taking time out of their schedule to visit us and I hope they learned as much from me as I learned from them. Rangers Lead the Way!

We are in week 2 of a 4 week strength phase. We are adding a speed and agility component to our Tuesday and Thursday workouts. We will train on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the weight room and or with weighted implements.
