Alright, fellas I just wrapped up my 4 year degree and I have to decided to become...wait for it....a cop. I just feel this overwhelming feeling that this is what I am suppose to do.
I wanted to pick the brains of people that have been down this path before me. I have done some reading about the process and it differs from city to city. I have reviewed some practice written exams, and I feel I am more than prepared for those. The reason I am starting this thread is to dial my training into a different direction. I have laid out a new routine to focus on strength and endurance.
It will basically look like this...
M-Full body (Major compound lifts) followed by some long distance running.
T- Swimming, not sure how long, just long enough to get exhausted.
W-Full body (Major compound lifts)
TH-Stair work
F-Full body (Major compound lifts) followed by some long distance running.
S-off
SU-off
So once again the purpose of this thread is two-fold. One, I need advice on my routine. I want to make sure that I am doing the right things to prepare for the P.A.T. Two, I need advice on how to get the ball rolling. I am not sure what the first steps I need to be taking are.
-Should I wait to apply until I feel my conditioning is where it needs to be?
