Applied Strength

Coach
Patrick Lane

There is a reason weight classes exist in competitive grappling sports... size and strength matters!

Absolute Strength is the ability to generate maximal force, irrespective of body weight. Within this program the goal is to increase strength levels while adding muscle mass.

This program will undulate between 3-week phases of Functional Hypertrophy and Maximal Strength.
