The 8-Week Grit Cycle is cycle #5 of the Explosive Athlete Program. For some athletes, they will be entering the in-season mode and should use the EAP In-Season program. For athletes that are not in-season, they should continue the Explosive Athlete Program with Cycle #5, the Grit Cycle.
Get ready for some new movements, 7 weeks of building, working and testing and a deload week in week 8 to prep you for Cycle #6, Overtime.
