A 12-week off-season program that builds real strength and real speed, for club, rep and semi-professional athletes ready to push toward the next level.
The 12-week journey
A real periodised build, from base to speed, with recovery planned in.
Weeks 1 to 4
* Build the base
Establish strength, movement quality and work capacity. Testing in week 1 sets your baseline.
Weeks 5 to 8
* Add the load
Progress strength and intensity as your base solidifies, with a deload to keep you fresh.
Weeks 9 to 12
* Convert to speed
Turn strength into speed and power. Retest in week 12 to see exactly how far you've come.
