GPP - General Preparatory Phase
The purpose of this base is to gain muscular size, whilst increasing general strength on our current KPIs (detailed below)
Increasing muscular size leads to greater force output meaning we can strike with more force and fight harder across the rounds
This programme has an emphasis on hypertrophy but still focused around athletic performance for combat sports. Meaning it will feature sport specific pre-hab, plyometrics and fight based conditioning.
5 day training split with 3 gym s&c based sessions, one purely focusing on muscle growth, aswell as 2 conditioning sessions.
