8 Week Barbell Program

Matt Vincent

Coach
Matt Vincent

This is a standard 8 week barbell program

This program will not only increase your 1RM in the back squat, bench press, deadlift, & overhead press but you'll be exposed to several different variations of each lift throughout the 8 weeks

This program is great not only for those new to the barbell game and for those that need a fresh approach on lifting heavy.

Having been training heavy we've learned over the years that you get strong in the positions you train which can lead to potential overuse injuries so we've added in some stretching at the end of your training days and some optional movement days on your days off. This will not only aide in recovery it'll also help keep your joints healthy and strong so you can play the long game.
