Structured Block

DERG Operator Readiness — 4 Week Block

Four weeks, five training days per week. Every day pairs a conditioning session with the dry fire drill that reinforces it — build the engine, then shoot the standard while the engine is running. Week four retests everything from week one.

Week 1 · Day 1

Day 1 — Strength & Presentation

Heavy pulls, then a clean draw at a forgiving par.

Week 1 · Day 2

Day 2 — Trigger Craft

Mobility first, then eliminate the flinch.

Week 1 · Day 3

Day 3 — Engine

Kitted conditioning paired with carbine presentation.

Week 1 · Day 4

Day 4 — Grip & Reloads

Build the hands, then work the reload in the workspace.
