The perfect muscle building and strength developing program. Originally designed for operators in U.S. Air Force Pararescue but its sequenced phases and calculated loading parameters will get anybody bigger and stronger. This 8-week program quickly acclimates you to the workload then provides appropriate accumulation and density that leads to a flexible max-out on the last week. The success this program has seen speaks for itself. This program can be considered the perfect starting off point or the perfect program to chase after a heavy strength block. It is also common to do this program back to back as you will quickly dial in your percentages. A 3-day variant is also available in the Marketplace.
