EXCELSIOR ATHLETE LV.1 aims to create athletes who want to face their limits.
This program is based on a 5-day training split (Lv.1) in which you have to face both the ability to recruit as many muscles as possible and the exceeding of your cardio-ventilatory limit.
It’s a 5-week program that follows the 4+1 mode
If you want to start knowing and facing your limits this program is for you.
It is recommended for contact sports players, but it is perfect for everybody, both athletes and non-athletes.
