Do you want to make the most out of your Off-Season? Do you want to come back next year stronger and better than ever?

Strength is the foundation of everything, you can't be fast without being strong, and you can't be explosive without being strong.

But how do you get strong?

You Prioritize It.

As an athlete you need to get to the point, your off-season will be over before you know it.

Chasing all this goals is counterproductive, and that is why I've created this plan. This is for the athlete that wants to put on size, put up some numbers they can be proud of, and get ready to crush their goals in the future. This program will not get you fitter, it will get you strong, but don't worry because you will not loose your cardio. We'll keep your conditioning, but we are going to make you into a new athlete. A stronger, more explosive, and more resilient athlete. This is not an easy track to follow, but it is worth it. Make this a priority for the next 14 weeks, follow the percentages, follow the intensities prescribed for all the conditioning pieces. Push yourself, and get ready to see the results.

Get Strong
Percentages work, there is no discussing that. RPE is great and it offers a great variety of options. But percentages work. Make this training a priority and you will see that you can hit them consistently. You will see that they work.

Stay Fit
Conjugate training is possible, it just needs to be approached adequately. Stick to the intensities prescribed, use conditioning as a tool to train more, not as the goal of your training. This is 14 weeks in which I'm asking you to change the way you think about conditioning, it's here to help you train. It's here to help you get stronger.

FAQs
What kind of athlete is this made for?
Ball/field athletes, but it's been adapted away from the specifics needs of any specific player and turned into a more generally useful plan. The principles and methodologies are better suited for the off-season or for any former athlete looking to continue training like an athlete.
The Proof

It was intense but manageable.

Verified Athlete

"I could both see and feel the difference in my body and workouts within a few weeks. This did not affect my endurance, as many other bulking options have. It was intense but manageable. He was attentive and gave good feedback on workouts, soreness, health, and diet."
