Welcome back, scholars. Let's get you prepped the same way I got prepped for ranger school. Quick summary Goal: arrive to Ranger School with peak ruck readiness, tactical stamina, strength for obstacle/ruck tasks, solid land-nav, casualty care competence, and mental resilience. Duration: 12 weeks progressive (Base → Intensify → Peak). Key areas: ruck capacity, repeated high-output under sleep loss, strength & power, obstacle/agility, land navigation (day/night), casualty care, leadership under stress. Supplements: practical, legally available, evidence-backed options only (creatine, caffeine, beetroot, omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, B-complex, Lion’s Mane). Avoid unapproved peptides (IGF-1, TB-500, CJC, etc.) and prescription hormones without medical supervision. Phase structure (12 weeks) Weeks 1–4 — Base (build aerobic base, mobility, technique) Weeks 5–8 — Build (heavier rucks, strength emphasis, night nav) Weeks 9–11 — Peak (multi-day simulations, sleep re...
