Livre "Forces Spéciales : Préparation et Entraînement" de David Cerqueira et Julien D. avec préface du Général Ghislain Réty

Special Forces - Preparation and Training

Two specialized authors, one a physical trainer for elite law enforcement units and high-level athletes, and the other operational at GIGN, provide their mental and physical preparation advice to all those who wish to take the selection tests for various special units, intermediate units, or simply want to maintain good operational condition.

This book offers more than 375 workouts to push one's limits and achieve an "operational" physique based on a proven method requiring minimal equipment. Here is a true "bible", extensively illustrated, whose first part, more theoretical, covers the foundations of training and physiology, before addressing performance optimization and recovery, then the specificity of test preparation, at the mental, physical, and material levels.

The first part, focused on the training method for operational fitness, is based on optimizing performance and recovery, including nutrition, sleep, and specific techniques. It prepares for military tests physically, intellectually, mentally, and materially, and includes shooting training with Johan Lara. It also offers knowledge about special forces organization, combat first aid, and weapons.

The second part presents exercises and session structuring. It includes 9 reference WODs (Workout of the Day) and 314 others divided into 4 families, with 75 additional ones in preparation. The families include WODs with bodyweight or light loads, integrating running, swimming, or combat movements.

The guide is published by Éditions Amphora.
