This program is designed to build your strength, increase your aerobic & anaerobic conditioning, and build a muscular frame.
Many programs I've done in the past seemed to lack the mixture of combining strength, metabolic conditioning, and functional, real life training into one. This program scratches that itch for me - and so I am sharing it here for the world to enjoy. If you ever wanted to have the strength & endurance necessary to build a heavy longship and be able to sustain yourself in battle - now is your chance. Each Week: You will have two heavy strength days, one METCON, one weighted ruck between 5-9 miles, and one hypertrophy focused day with a sprint exercise.
You will utilize dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and sandbags as your main tools. Bodyweight exercise is also included.
You can run this program more than once if you desire. If done correctly, you should need a deload week after each 4 weeks of training.
Happy Training. Let's Get Strong.
