This program is designed for athletes who feel like their core work is lacking.

**Who wants a thick trunk capable of reps at 90% without a belt? **

Who wants to feel confident and sturdy under heavy loads?

Is it silly to promote a “core program” that doesn’t promise six pack abs?

Maybe.

**But, I’m not interested in a turtle shell, I’m interested in adding kilos to my total. **

Each workout is about 10-20 minutes long and is meant to be an add-on to your current weightlifting or functional fitness program.

Workouts are a mix of “cardio core” style and overall strength and stability style.

I’m not reinventing the wheel here, I’m sharing what works for me and what I find “doable” after three hours of lifting.

So no, I’m not promising you a six-pack.

I’m helping you improve overall trunk strength (front, sides, and back) that will then transfer into stronger lifts.

If you end up seeing abs... Awesome!

**But I’d rather see you hit PRs.

FAQs
Which day of the week should I start the program?
I wrote this program to start on a Monday, making your rest days Thursday and Sunday. You don't NEED to follow that format, but that's what I had in mind when I designed it. Through the app, you can always change your start/end date too!
Is there anything else that I should be aware of before I get started?
I do have my USAW-L1 and have experience coaching, but I'm not a doctor. The training, the movement selection, volume, etc. is all based on my own personal experience and what's worked for me in my training. Although I have confidence in how effective it will be for you, use your best judgement.
