Build The Boats & Raid The Shores

Shield Maiden Training

Strength & Conditioning, Endurance, Functional Training
Coach
Fallon Durkee

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.

Sandbag Training for Everyday Capability
Use sandbags to train your strength in ways that are otherwise neglected by the barbell alone. Sandbags can often resemble real life objects and have an uneven load that constantly shifts when picked up - making it much harder to lift and utilize. In turn, this will make you stronger both in and out of the gym.

Lift. Ruck. Train.
Metabolic conditioning, weighted rucks, strength building, and hypertrophy are all components of this program. You will find, at the root of this program, that strength and conditioning are the main forces that drive this. It is not so much focused on aesthetics as it is general capability.
