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.
