Are you a SWOLE MFer that's trying to reach an even higher level of SWOLEness?!

The SWOLE AF EXTREME program is for advanced lifters that want to see what they're made of. If you're already used to going hard in the gym and want to take your training to an even higher level, this program is perfect for you.

Lots of heavy Compound movements (squats, presses, deadlifts, etc.) make up the core of this program to place as much mechanical tension on the muscle as possible.

Plus, you'll have tons of accessory work to get that metabolic pump and fuel maximum muscle growth.

PLEASE NOTE: This program will really push the limits of your recovery so it should only be attempted by experienced lifters with good recovery habits. If you are looking for an equally mass-tastic training program that's not quite as strenuous, check out the regular SWOLE AF program first before moving on to this one!

FAQs
Does this program include coaching?
Not directly. I do provide detailed instructions and notes for each exercise as well as demonstration videos but you will not have access to me for questions or coaching. If you want access to me along with a program, join one of my membership based teams like Average to Savage (scroll down).
Do the exercises change at all?
The exercises stay consistent for several weeks at a time but some do change to similar & slightly more challenging variations over time. This consistency in practicing similar exercises for several weeks at a time is important for progressive overload and making efficient gains!
How much training experience do I need for this program?
This a high volume/high intensity program that is best for ADVANCED LIFTERS with efficient recovery habits. It will test the limits of even the most experienced lifters. Consider trying the normal SWOLE AF program first or, If you are a beginner, try my Foundational Strength program.
How long do I have access to the program?
Train Heroic gives you access to this program for 1 full year. During that year, you can repeat this program as many times as you'd like :)
What if I have to modify the program or swap out an exercise?
You can easily make changes to the program or swap out an exercise in the app! Upon signing up, I'll send you a program guide that shows you exactly how to do it. Plus, I try to suggest substitutions in the exercise notes for certain movements as well.
