This Program is designed to strengthen your lower back, posterior chain and develop a stronger trunk all while increasing your movement capacity and stability.  When all these are programmed intelligently you will see an increase in your lifts, better stability and a reduction or elimination of lower back pain and stiffness.  Statistically 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain in their lives, most of this pain is due to simple weakness.  This program is the antidote to that weakness. If you suffer from pain in your back or are limited due to the weakness of your back this program is for you! 

This program is 4 training sessions per week with a daily movement protocol designed to increase your stability, mobility, and flexibility of your back, hips and trunk.
