Do you want to improve overall human performance in a pain-free manner with a focus on staying well rounded in all areas of fitness?

If so, you're in the right place.

This program is designed for individuals that are looking to optimize human performance by staying well rounded in numerous areas of fitness.

This program brings into consideration many variables and principles I implement with my professional athletes during their off-season training routines.

Designed over 13 weeks, you'll find "test" weeks implemented throughout to find new ‘rep maxes’.

Each day has a different focus - including heavy lifting, different forms of conditioning, lifting with a speed/force output emphasis, multiplanar loading, force production/absorption components, mobility, and prehab.

Training Sessions per Week: 4 days lifting, 2 conditioning, 1 mobility

Expect 4 days of lifting (60-75 minutes), 2 days of conditioning (30-60 minutes), and 1 day of mobility (20-40 minutes) each week.

FAQs
Who is this for?
Someone who has an intermediate training level who is looking for a well rounded performance program that covers various types of strengthening as well as conditioning methods.
How long is each session?
Each session should last between 60-75 minutes. The warm-up and cool-down guidelines are provided but not all of it is necessary to complete.
What if I miss a day?
A few options here - 1. Just do the day missed the following day, 2. Complete the day missed within sessions later in the week as upper and lower are completed 2x each week and there are 2 conditioning sessions weekly as well, 3. Move onto the next day
What if I don’t have bands/chains or a place to anchor them?
Just choose a weight that will allow a similar objective to be completed with the same movements. Some equipment is not 100% necessary, just adds some extra benefit to movements.
