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 3 structured workouts per week that progressively build your endurance over time and wont interfere with your combat sports training.

This program is going to turn you into a fucking problem. Terrorize your training partners and opponents with the cardio of a thoroughbred race horse. Seige Engine

Verified Athlete"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."

Verified Athlete"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."
