Al, I couldn't agree more. Along with the individual testing and developing a new testing procedure for my unit, Poliquin will also be working with the members to develop training regimens to address the needs of tactical police work. Also being in the infantry, I suspect this will also have a...

I realize that this is an old thread, however it is very relevant to what is happening at my unit. Over the next month or so, Charles will be conducting physical testing at my unit. This is in an effort to revamp our fitness testing to better prepare members for the job we do and to prevent the...

Even better .... use it at the gym! It makes doing weighted chins, pushups, dips etc. much more comfortable than wearing a weight belt or ruck. It is also a lot easier to change the weights. It is also very secure for doing any type of plyometric or agility training.

I have a couple of these vests. I will hand deliver within one hour of Toronto. Anything further will be shipped via Canada Post. PM if interested
