This is a beginner strength & conditioning program designed to improve the fundamentals of athleticism. The program features four days per week that cover basic strength, power, & plyometric work. It is designed for those who have a basic knowledge of the weight room as well as the foundational lifts (squat, bench press, trap bar deadlift, and overhead press). Work progresses over the course of the 8 week training block and the days compliment each other weekly to ensure proper recovery while making sure all muscle groups are targeted at least once per week to push you to make progress on all fronts.
