    Exercise plan for Volunteer Firefighter

    I workout 4 days a week. I mainly just lift. I do cardio about 2 days a week. Should I start doing a lot more cardio? Any suggestions?

    buddy of mine is a fireman, the main thing you need is endurance, not power lifting..

    yes explosive strength is needed, but if you can't do it for 15 minutes, it won't help you..

    do high rep lower weight to increase your stamina and strength..

    3 sets 20 reps

    Good luck..
