Todd Lamb released the SpecForce Alpha program in 2014. He used this very system to undergo his own body transformation when he was in his mid-forties. Since then, hundreds of men have purchased this program. These guys have gained confidence as their bodies evolved and this is due to their dedication to the SpecForce lifestyle.

These challenging bodyweight workouts will help you burn fat and build muscle in less than an hour a day. Best of all, very little equipment is required.

So if you’re not a fan of the usual gym workout routine but you want a ripped, lean body, the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness and nutrition system is a program that you’ll want to check out. It promises to deliver outstanding results, both physically and mentally.

Since all of the exercises in the first three phases of the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system are bodyweight, very little equipment is required. Although you won’t need any weights or machines, you will need a few pieces of basic equipment that are commonly used for bodyweight training.

For the SpecForce Alpha program, you will need access to a pull-up bar or another bar set-up for inverted rows. There are several different options when it comes to what you can use for inverted rows. You can use a squat rack or Smith machine if you’re at a gym. You can also use a set of rings or a TRX. Or if you’re at home, you can get creative with a sturdy broom or pipe and some strong chairs.

You’ll also need a box for box jumps. If you’re at home, jumping up onto a set of stairs might be an option depending on the layout of your house.  

Lastly, you’ll need a bench or a sturdy equivalent for bench dips.

The very last phase, that is, the final three months of the program, include the following pieces of equipment to add weighted resistance: chains, a thick resistance band or an optional ripcord as a substitute.

A detailed workout calendar is included for the first three phases in the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system. The calendar will tell you which routine you are required to do each day of the month. There are no options when it comes to the workout you will do on any given day.

However, you won’t need to workout 7 days a week. Two active recovery days are written into each week of the training regimen. These recovery days are not to be overlooked. They are important for proper recovery and rest.

The other five days are dedicated to bodyweight training strength and interval sessions.

The diet recommended in the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness program revolves around the three macronutrients:

• protein,
• carbohydrates,
• and fat.

The fine details are given in the Black Ops Macro Flex nutrition ebook. You will be taught which protein sources are best for building lean muscle and also learn why protein and fat should be eaten together. You’ll even learn how to calculate the grams of protein you need to be eating each day.

You’ll learn which kinds of carbohydrate food sources will give you the most energy and keep you satisfied and full. You’ll be taught the difference between simple and complex carbs. And you’ll find out which sweetener you absolutely must avoid. You’ll find out the difference between resistant starches and fibre and why you need both in order to reduce your risk of disease.

You’ll also learn which protein bars are highest in fibre. You’ll be given carbohydrate manipulation strategies in order to get lean and stay lean.

When it comes to fat, you’ll find out which two kinds of fat you should avoid and which three fats are okay to eat in moderation. You’ll learn about the most dangerous kind of fat that settles around your waistline. And you’ll find out why you can eat animal fat and not worry about it.

Overall, the SpecForce Alpha macro flex nutrition plan promotes the consumption of whole, natural foods. There are brief lessons on grocery shopping, label reading, and how your grocery store purchases will determine your success.

The plan is meant to be flexible. You’ll be taught what you should do if you find yourself gaining fat.  You’ll be given lists of the best sources of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. And you’ll also find out Todd Lamb’s secret to eating junk food the right way.

The SpecForce Alpha Macro Flex nutrition plan would not be a good fit for vegetarians or vegans. The creator of the program adamantly states that only animal products contain all the essential amino acids our bodies needs. You must be willing to eat animal products and vegetables and experiment with Todd’s list of “ideal foods.”

The plan doesn’t contain any recipes or meal suggestions. However, by centering your meals around protein first, then adding in complex carbs and healthy fats, you’ll be on the right track to eating your way to a stronger, leaner Alpha body.

One of the best before and after pictures you’ll find for the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system is from Todd Lamb, the program’s creator. It’s not that Todd was severely overweight before. In fact, you might not even think he’s overweight at all. He looked like an average middle-aged man.

However, his after picture – which is how he still looks to this day – shows you how effectively the SpecForce Alpha training and nutrition system works. Todd went from average man with a gradually expanding waist and “man boobs” to ripped, lean, and vascular.

A handful of testimonials published on the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system website include comments such as:

“I am more confident without my shirt on.”

“I don’t feel nervous anymore when I’m headed to the beach or pool party.”

“These training concepts keep me jacked and ready year round.”

Also:

“In my mid-forties, I get compliments on how great I look compared to other guys my age.”

“I’ve been a leader all my life but it took me to get to 65 to finally manifest that on a physical level.”

The men who’ve completed the program are happy to find that the program has become a way of life for them. They’ve been able to take the workout and nutrition strategies they’ve learned and incorporated them in order to sustain their fitter, leaner bodies.

Retired MMA fighter, Alan “The Talent” Belcher, stays in year round fighting shape using the methods taught by Todd Lamb. He’s quoted as saying that with the SpecForce Alpha training system, he’s always in perfect alpha shape.

Todd Lamb took a bit of a beating when the media found out about the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness program. At the time, Todd was working for the police department in British Columbia, Canada. An inside investigation began to determine whether or not Todd was seeking employment outside the police force.

However, this all seemed to come to light after many people were offended by the sexist language and portrayal of the “alpha man” referred to in the SpecForce Alpha sales video that had been on the web for approximately a year by that point.

Around the time the investigation began, Todd quit his job with the police department. Todd was well-liked by his comrades. During his 17 year career with the police force, he served many roles including police officer, SWAT member, and team leader.

In the fitness community, Todd Lamb is seen as a knowledgeable guy and go-to expert when it comes to testosterone and tactical fitness. His circle of friends include other well-known and highly-respected Canadian fitness experts and business gurus.

Other reviews of the program are overall positive. While some complain that the program is only offered online, the truth is that some of the newest, most cutting-edge programs are only available online and not as a hard copy.

Todd has been on multiple podcasts hosted by other fitness professionals to talk about his SpecForce Alpha program and his areas of fitness expertise.

If you search for his name, be aware that Todd Lamb is also the name of a politician from Oklahoma.

The SpecForce Alpha system is the only fitness program available that is based on the training techniques used by members of an elite group of men: the Special Operations tactical unit.

Todd Lamb brings with him 17 years of experience as a police officer, SWAT team member, commander, and instructor, Tactical Canine Handler and Trainer, Police Diver, and Parachutist. He knows what is required to be a special ops member – both physically and mentally. It is that specific combination of personality traits and physical abilities that defines an Alpha Male.

As a result of seeking and achieving his own dramatic physical transformation, Todd developed this training and nutrition program. And he’s made it available to every man who has an internet connection and a desire to build a year-round ripped, lean, beach-ready body.

Note: Do not attempt Phase 2 before completing all three missions in Phase 1. Do not attempt Phase 3 before completing all three missions in Phase 2.

Workout Program Phase 1

The first phase of the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system will introduce you to the basic exercises you’ll need to know for the entire program. And this first phase is aptly called “Basic Operation.”

In it, you are given three separate “missions,” which are month long training cycles. Again, the names given to each of the three missions are common military references: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie.

Each workout will begin with a 4 to 5 minute dynamic warm-up. A set of lower body stretches is also included which is a part of your cool down.

The workouts themselves have a variety of body weight exercises that focus on improving lower body strength, ab and core strength, upper body strength, power, and cardiovascular capacity.

The exact number of sets and reps, the specific tempo counts, and the carefully timed rest periods should be noted and followed as closely as possible.

Two active recovery days are scheduled into each week’s workouts. Recommended activities for these days include an easy pace swim, cycling, or foam rolling.

The focus of the first mission during the first phase is on muscle fibre hypertrophy which will be achieved by implementing a specific method of training. The second two missions will then focus on timed intervals.

Workout Program Phase 2

The second phase of the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system will take the same exercises you’ve learned and increase the challenge throughout all three missions. In the Specialist phase, you’ll complete three more fitness missions. You’ll be increasing the challenge by upping your reps and sets, while also increasing your work periods and decreasing the amount of time you rest. You’ll once again complete the same warm-up exercises and cool down stretches.

By the end of the second phase, you will see a significant increase in your upper body and lower body strength. You will have become more explosive and your cardiovascular capabilities will have expanded.

Workout Program Phase 3

In this third phase of the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system, you’ll be required to complete three more missions in the Special Forces Operator phase. Just like phase 2, you’ll be increasing the challenge of each workout by adding in reps and sets while also increasing your work time and decreasing your rest periods.

By the third month of this phase, your work volume will have reached the maximum level. If you have followed the nutrition guidelines and workouts as written until this point, you will be well on your way to having the “SpecForce Alpha” body to show for your efforts.

Workout Program Phase 4

The three month long missions within this fourth phase known as “Delta” do not have to be done after all three phases are complete. To begin any Delta mission, you need to have completed all three missions within one of either the Basic Operator, Specialist, or Special Forces Operator phases. As above, move through the three missions of the Delta phase in alphabetical order.

In the Delta missions, you will be using accommodating resistance to increase the intensity of the exercises. That is, you will need chains and thick bands for these workouts.

The SpecForce Alpha tactical training system is a complete workout and nutrition program that gives you one full year of progressive workouts and eating tips to help you get and stay lean for life.

This entire system comes in the form of 20 ebooks that you can download and print off; 36 exercise tutorial videos; and one app for phone or tablet to help you keep your nutrition and workouts on track. That’s a lot of value for only $37 USD!

You also get to join an elite group of men who train like the members of the Special Forces. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to take these short yet intense home workouts and testosterone-boosting nutrition tips and transform your body into a lean, mean, Alpha-man machine – and keep it that way.

The SpecForce Alpha system is about more than merely achieving a certain look. It also strives to improve a man’s attitude about himself and the way he treats others.

We understand that there are women who will be offended by some of the words and images used to advertise this program. However, if you were to get inside the program and read more about what exactly the “alpha man” aspires to be in “The Alpha Status Handbook,” you might find yourself agreeing with Todd’s overall philosophy. As the saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”

The one thing we do find to be lacking in this year-long program is a Quick Start Guide. This would be extremely helpful to the man logging into the membership website and finding himself staring at a download page of 20 ebooks.

We suggest that you begin with the following:

• download and read the SFA manual. It also has some exercise descriptions in the last half of the book. The other exercise descriptions are on the page labelled, “Videos.”
• download the free MacroFlex diet app. It also has an interval timer for your workouts.
• download your first phase of workouts: “Basic Operation Alpha Mission” and the “Calendar Alpha Block.”
• download and read the “7 Day Testosterone Solution” and begin to gradually implement the diet changes as suggested.

So if you are ready to train like a member of the Special Forces Unit and learn some new tricks that will help you become a better, healthier, and fitter man, you’ll want to check out the SpecForce Alpha tactical fitness system by former police officer and SWAT team trainer, Todd Lamb.
