Level Up Your Capacity

You’ve built the engine; now it’s time to push the limits. Phase 2 is where the real work begins. Over the next 8 weeks, we transition from the foundation to Accumulation. This phase is designed to increase your total work capacity, drive muscle hypertrophy, and harden your mental toughness.

If Phase 1 was about becoming "Ready," Phase 2 is about becoming Formidable.

The Volume Jump: We’ve added strategic sets and reps to force your body to adapt, grow, and handle higher levels of stress.

Hypertrophy Focus: A shift toward increased time-under-tension to build the lean mass necessary for the heavy loads ahead.

Metabolic Threshold: The conditioning shifts from building a base to pushing your "redline," ensuring you can recover quickly while operating at high intensities.

The Bridge: This block is the vital link between your foundation and your future PRs.

The Goal: To accumulate the stress necessary for a total physical transformation, setting the stage for the final peak.
