This is intended to be our 6 week introduction cycle for those with a decent baseline of fitness trying to increase strength and work capacity.
This program utilizes a 9 day training week, which we have found to work better with 24 hour shift work. we program 6 training days, and encourage you to take three rest days when you feel you need them. Late nights at work, weekends with the family, overall fatigue/burnout are all reasons to rest.
The six training days consist of upper body push/pull strength and hypertrophy, lower body push pull hypertrophy, steady state cardio, and interval training.
The variation allows for adequate cardiovascular and muscular recovery, allowing you to train harder.
From here, we encourage interested individuals to reach out and join our monthly teams page.
