Strength Program

[Hardly_Hangin]

Sounds like you are pretty well informed. I will say, someone that makes a living coaching is of course highly likely to recommend that you should continue with some kind of coach.

Which is probably great advice to get the best progress in a given sport or set of goals.

What is your end goal?

Well at the outstart i just wanted to get strong again, i hadnt trained in over 2 years and was weak and flabby.

In the context of Rokslide/hunting, I do think at some point the focus shifts from getting the most strength gains to maintaining some baseline strength level (like a 1.5 BW bench, 2x body weight deadlift) and then start working conditioning volume through rucking, or similar.

Now that im relatively big and strong i may incorporate more conditioning like rucking.

Tactical barbell templates are definitely fine for that. As are plenty of other programs. But your conditioning time eventually robs you of strength gains. Or you could also say your strength focus eventually robs you of conditioning time and recovery ability. But your perspective on that is obviously dependent on your personal goals.

What was the reason for the SSC to say you need to find someone else to do your programming?

He wasnt turning me away from him, he was trying to get me to sign up for him to do all of my programming. As in, film all mybsets and send him a video and him tweak my programming week to week.

No doubt he would do great and i would make good progress, i really like the guy and hes a good coach.
