Brainstorm Performance

Strength & Conditioning
Coach
Mike Hart

12 week program building on strength and hypertrophy with an upper + lower split focus.  The training will revolve around 4 foundational lifts that will remain the same each 4 week cycle (back squat, bench press, deadlift, shoulder press).  If you would like to change one of the primary lifts to something else (i.e. deadlift to trap bar or back squat to safety bar squat), feel free to.  Also, there are supplementary lifts that change from cycle to cycle but are similar so that specific stimuli and adaptations are being met at end of 12 week cycle.
