RETURN TO TRAIN

This program is designed for athletes and coaches returning from an extended period of down time. Using Hi / Lo programming, this two week intro phase will prepare athletes for the demands of an intensive strength & conditioning program. The use of short to long acceleration programming will reduce the risk of soft tissue injury while the strength loading is calculated off current bodyweight to ensure proper intensities are used.
