About the program: Mountain Tactical Institutes (MTI) Military On Ramp program is designed to bring you up to the fitness required to start their “operator” programs. The 7 week program is 5 days a week and has 2 strength days, a run day, a work capacity and chasssis integrity (core) day, and a ruck day.

It is a slow build to help get you into shape starting with bodyweight excercises for the first 2.5 weeks before switching into weight training. Running for the first 3 weeks is low intensity steady state taking you from 30-60 minutes before testing 1.5 mile run time and doing speed work. The ruck goes from 30 minutes at 45lbs (20kg) to 60 minutes at 60lbs (27kg) at a moderate effort over the 7 weeks.

About me: Former military who wants to be well rounded at everything. Have ran tactical barbell, brian alsruhe programs, and stronger by science programs. Lifetime PR’s: Squat 295 bench 235 OHP 155 deadlift 405 front squat 235x3. I had recently had a sickness that took me out for about 3 months and was detrained significantly before starting this. I had lost about 15lbs during that 3 months. I did this program to whip me back into shape

Overall I feel this program did a good job of getting me back in shape. I purchased the “Greek Hero” training packet from MTI and plan to continue on that as well as I can for the next year. I have a toddler and another kid coming soon so we’ll see how consistent I can be.

Final thoughts: I’ve always tried to just jam rucking/running while doing a regular weight program. I think doing a program designed specifically for the fitness goals I have will yield much better results in the future. I only have an hour 5 days a week at 5am so I can’t do anything too crazy. I am looking forward very much to this next year of programming. I like MTI’s variety of excercises and the “functional fitness” aspects of the program.
