What Makes This Program Different?
This program combines aspects of bodybuilding to promote building size, it includes aspects of powerlifting to get stronger and it focuses on conditioning to build that engine and leave you feeling athletic, healthy and light on your feet. This is what we call a hybrid training program that includes multiple facets of fitness to be a well-rounded athlete.
We broke down this training in to 3 blocks and each block lasting 4 weeks. These blocks each have their own specific goals and areas of emphasis to build off of each other in a non-linear programming model. Not only does this promote forward progress throughout the entire 12 weeks, but also keeps training fun, interesting and very difficult.
During Block 1 you will test yourself both physically and mentally through difficult metabolic conditioning sessions and Strongman Saturday's which focus on heavy compound movements. Block 2 is very high volume but has a specific day during the week that focuses on the big 3 (Squat, Bench & Deadlift). To wrap up the program with Block 3 we bring more hypertrophy (bodybuilding style movements) in to the program so you finish stronger, bigger and more conditioned than ever before.
