Gainline: Rebuild is an offseason programme centred around building the physical foundations for your upcoming preseason. It is an opportunity to get yourself prepped for peak performance ahead of the deadline; an opportunity to stand out from the rest of your teammates as an athletic presence.
This programme emphasises improving your base athleticism - boasting a deadly combination of power, strength and armour-building in the gym, with add on mobility, speed and aerobic sessions to keep you match ready.
Alongside daily mobility, a week in the programme provides 6 opportunities to develop; 4 gym, 1 speed and 1 aerobic on feet session. The gym sessions prioritise strength progression, though follow an undulating outlook so that multiple physical qualities can be targeted and improved throughout. Completing these alone will provide great improvement for your athletic development, but if you want to become the all round athlete that you wouldn't want to play against then the extras are necessary.
For those of you seeking the full package this offseason, Gainline: Rebuild is for you.
