Wide Load Vol. 1

Chris Harms

Wide Load is for those looking to pack on size, in all the right places.

This is our thickest, juiciest cut of programming. A 12-week, tried and true method of gaining size through the application of high rep warm-up and finishers, heavy barbell work with the basics, and plenty in between. Not only will you put on mass that could make it difficult to fit through doors, but you will be strong enough to rip the door off its hinges. Think size but not fluff. Muscles will be dense and functional, because without that, you are useless on the Farm.

We Tend to Our Garden
The whole reason we got into this profession was to help those in need. And in this case, if you need to get bigger and stronger, we are here to help. If you have a question, problem, concern or just want to talk, we will be here for you. When we put a seed in the soil, we want it to grow and will do anything we can to help it.

Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail
Since the program is created a month in advance and constantly tweaked based on readiness scores and feedback, you will have access to the following week every Sunday. This will allow you to not only get your mind right, but also to plan your wardrobe accordingly...

Simple, Hard Work
This program requires no fancy machinery to be effective. While we will throw a lot at you, and the program is constantly varied, the barbell has stood the test of time and that is what it is based around. You will be surprised how much you can grow with how little equipment you need.
