Strengthen Your Weaknesses
Whether you're weak in the hole of the squat, your knees cave in, you round your upper back, or your hips rise first, we've got you covered. Beyond programming Squats and Presses, you'll have the opportunity to vary the movement selection based on your specific weakness. Get ready to turn your weaknesses into strengths!

Get Rid of the Guesswork
I know what it takes to get stronger than you ever thought was possible. I've put in the time, done my research, and have made my own mistakes so that you don't have to. Stop guessing what to do, how much of it to do, and simply commit to showing up and getting after it. The days of you guessing how to get to where you wanna go are gone. You're welcome!

FAQs
Can I start Phase 2 before I've completed Phase 1?
No. Just scroll down and pick up (and complete) phase 1 before you start Phase 2.
What is unique about Phase 2?
Phase 2 emphasizes building strength and optimizing gains made from phase 1 while still conditioning your body to handle heavier weights. This phase is ideal for lifters who wish to transition from off-season training into a meet prep/peaking phase.
Can I do this program if I'm planning on competing?
For competitions, you will want to start Phase 2 about 12 weeks out from your competition date. For non-competitors, you can simply max out on lifts after the last week of Phase 2, or move onto Phase 2, which is a peaking block.
