Most athletes train hard. Few train smart enough to actually get faster.

BLAST is built for the athlete who competes. The rugby player who needs to win the first five metres before a defender can react. The American football player who needs to explode off the line and separate. The contact sport athlete who understands that speed and power aren't just assets — they're armour.

This is a fully structured 5-day programme engineered around one goal — making you a more explosive, more powerful, faster athlete. Every session has a purpose. Every session has a place. Nothing is in here by accident.

The week breaks down like this:

Speed Day 1 — Acceleration — This is where you learn to win the first 10 metres. Acceleration is a skill, and like any skill, it demands deliberate, quality practice. You'll train your nervous system to produce maximal force into the ground, fast — the exact quality that separates athletes who explode off the line from those who react too late.

Lower Body Peak Force — You can't express power you don't have. This session builds the raw strength foundation in your lower body — the thing your speed and power qualities sit on top of. No base, no ceiling.

Upper Body Peak Force — In contact sports, your upper body is constantly under threat. It absorbs collisions, wins physical battles, and drives you through tackles. This session develops the force qualities that make your upper body a weapon — not a liability.

Speed Day 2 — Max Velocity — Top-end speed is your ceiling. If you never train it, you'll never reach it. This session targets the mechanics and neuromuscular demands of true max velocity running — the kind that makes defenders miss and analysts take notes.

Full Body RFD — Rate of force development. How fast you can produce force matters just as much as how much. This full-body session ties everything together — power, coordination, and explosive output — leaving you primed to compete at the highest level your body is capable of.

BLAST isn't a workout plan. It's a performance system built for athletes who play physical sports, in physical environments, against physical opponents. If you want to be faster, more powerful, and harder to stop — this is where that starts.
