Make no mistake, work capacity is one of the most important attributes a combat athlete can possess.

Decision making is severely compromised when fatigued, and this will lead to you getting absolutely wrecked every time you step on the mats.

High levels of endurance is the cheat code for combat sports. If you’re consistently getting outworked on the mats then its time to get busy.

This program offers 2 structured workouts per week that progressively build over time and wont interfere with your combat sports training. A minimum of 10% improvement is expected.

No More Guesswork
Most people fail to reach their goals due to going it alone, lack of motivation, doing too much or too little, poor understanding of cardiovascular program design, and no way to measure progress. This template eliminates those pitfalls. This program is adaptable and can be run on a wide range of modalities from running, rowing, cycling, assault bike, swimming, and ski eg.

This Is The Way
Most trainers couldnt write a cardio program to save their life, and almost none are designed with grapplers in mind. Your favortie influencer still thinks lifting weights fast is cardio lol I bring over 12 years of experience assessing cardiovascular fitness and designing programs that actually work.

"When I started Adams program I couldn’t squat to 90. I couldn’t even walk without a limp. As an older blackbelt I thought maybe it’s time to just coach and not roll anymore. Since on the program my mobility has increased dramatically. I can invert, drop levels and, I got an ass to grass squat."

"This program was a game changer. I can see the game better and for longer periods of time. My confidence and performance as a more experienced jiu-jitsu player contributed to a tournament win and it’s made me more present during grueling exchanges with tough and technical training partners."
