Here are some resources for those who like reading about PT (My background is in Kine so that's me. ).
NSCA's Tactical Athlete Strength & Conditoning: http://www.nsca-lift.org/tsac/
This one comes from the National Strength & Conditioning Association, a credible, science-based organization. Slightly conservative since they actually use science. They have a nice newsletter. Nothing groundbreaking but a good resource. Also one of the sites in the US has posted the "Training for the Tactical Athlete: Assessment & Selection (SFAS)" book: http://www.uscg.mil/worklife/docs/SFAS%20prep%20book.pdf
Fatal Fitness http://www.fatalfitness.com/
Like CrossFit? But do you also like science (as opposed to Glassman's anti-science attitude, pseudo-scientific experts in the message boards and don't even get me started on Zone/Paleo. Just don't)? Well, here's a site with a similar idea (hey, CrossFit isn't original. I had training like that but they called it the "House of Pain".). In fact it is so similar to CrossFit they have an article about that: "In the Shadow of CrossFit". http://www.fatalfitness.com/node/1476 Good points? Similar to the CFP (from what I've noticed anyway) no high-rep oly, no kipping pull-ups (unless mentioned), and no diet being forced on you. They embrace science. The names for things are rather silly (WOD = DC (Death Certificate)). But it's another resource that didn't show up in a search.
