Gilly Strength

Coach
Harry Gilbert

This training program is designed to increase total body strength with an emphasis on single leg strength. Single leg strength is critical in athletic development and longterm health.

The first and last week of the program are used to test your strength in 4 different movements: B-Stance Deadlift, Barbell Overhead Press, Barbell Bench Press, and Barbell Split Squat. 

These tests will set you up for success throughout this training program and for future programs. Each of these exercises can be easily converted to the standard barbell lifts as well!
