Gilly Strength

Coach
Harry Gilbert

This is a program that introduces you to the foundational movement patterns in the weight room combined with metabolic conditioning days. 3 days per week are weight-room focused while the other 2 days are minimal equipment sessions aimed at increasing heart rate while adding additional volume in the foundational movement patterns.

This is a 2 phase approach: the first 5 weeks focuses on movement pattern familiarity and advancement, while the second 5 weeks builds upon the first block emphasizing time under tension to maximize muscle gain! 

Pre/Post Test weeks are built in to track improvement over the course of the program. This also gives you the opportunity to have updated numbers for the next training program!
