It's one thing to look strong and fit.  It's another to BE strong and fit. Let's be honest: most people care about their appearance.  It's what drives most people to the gym.  But, is that all there is to training?  Certainly not.

The Functional Physique is functional bodybuilding at its finest.  The program is broken up into three phases.

Welcome to Phase 1 - Base Camp

Phase 1 of The Functional Physique sets the standard for what's ahead.  Our goal here is to gain muscular endurance and to begin your transformation journey on the right path.  You will directly train your legs 3 times per week, but you could argue they get a little something every day.  You will hit your biceps and triceps directly twice per week.  But, this is a functional program?  Yes.  We didn't neglect the compound movements that are the foundation of a functional physique and we didn't leave out stability and core work.  You'll utilize various conditioning methods like High Intensity Repeat Training, High Intensity Interval Training, and Low Intensity Sold State Training.

Be prepared to grind the next 4 weeks.  You're gonna need a strong base to build The Functional Physique.

Welcome to Phase 2 - The Climb

The next 4 weeks are going to be tough.  No one said building a functional physique was easy.  But, you've built a strong base, so you're ready for what's ahead.  The next 4 weeks introduce a few different styles of training - most notably -> Pre-Exhaust Work.  You will do your conditioning BEFORE your strength training on the first three days.  It's easy to move weight and feel strong when you're fresh.  What happens when you fatigue yourself beforehand? The Functional Physique program is about being able to perform in different conditions.  We also introduce a few new movements to stimulate growth and Olympic lift variants to add some flavor.

Welcome to Phase 3 - The Summit

The last 8 weeks have been grueling, but the journey isn't over yet.  Phase 3 brings a strength emphasis to your training by utilizing lower rep sets on compound movements.  You've got muscular endurance and a strong base.  Let's push your strength to another level.  We cut your conditioning a little bit to give your body time to recover, but we haven't eliminated it all together.  We will utilize heavy carries and pulls, and spend your Saturdays on conditioning only.  Push hard and continue to focus; you're about to finish your transformation.
