Welcome to AP STRONG
8 WEEKS. PURE POWER. REAL ATHLETIC STRENGTH.
This isn’t a bodybuilding split.
This is a gym-only performance program designed to take your strength, speed, and explosiveness to the next level.
Heavy compound lifts
Explosive power work every week
Push / Pull upper body split
Lower-body strength + speed days
Smart progression. Zero junk volume.
Built for people who want to be strong AND athletic — not just look the part.
✔ Squat, press, pull heavier
✔ Jump higher, move faster
✔ Build strength that actually transfers
8-week structured plan. No guesswork. Just results.
Weeks 1–3: Accumulation (build strength base)
Week 4: Deload (nervous system reset)
Weeks 5–7: Intensification (heavy + explosive)
Week 8: Peak & test (power emphasis, low fatigue)
