Welcome to Raw Strength! This is a 16-week program that will increase your strength in the Squat, Deadlift, Bench, and Military Press.

Many issues with people trying to get strong are: 

1. To much volume 

2. Not enough recovery 

3. Reps and sets do not meet actually strength needs

4. Not enough unilateral work so injuries occur

5. Program hop so methods collide and give opposing results

That ends now! 

In this program, you will get 4 training sessions per week, 2 conditioning sessions, and 1 recovery session. That is over 100 training sessions to help hold you accountable, keep your interest high, and ensure you reach your goal. 

Each month your block will change giving you harder exercises that compliement you main goal which is to get stronger. 

This program has a lot of single leg and arm exercises so you stay healthy throughout the whole process. 

From start to finish of this plan the top 2 focues are staying healthy but GETTING STRONGER! 

This program is for those who have been working out and are familair with the basic barbell lifts. This plan can be helpful for older athletes but make sure you balance it with your skills training as well.
