Strength Training at West Point: Simple, Hard, Effective
Greg Hess is an instructor and athletic trainer at West Point. In this role, he has a host of responsibilities, including immediate treatment of injuries, overseeing mandatory physical training of all cadets during their cadet basic training, and leading an elective course on compound barbell lifts.
Really, what he is doing, in his roles, is trying to spread the benefits of simple, hard, effective training.
During basic training, he exposes cades to the deadlift and bench press, despite the limited time.
In his elective, however, he has more time to instruct technique on the four main lifts, along with the power clean and power snatch. Cadets also learn how to coach other cadets.
This is a good thing. Cadets at the United States Military Academy (West Point) are being exposed to simple, hard, effective strength training.
Learn about something exciting that is going on at West Point.
