Hypertrophy for Athletes (High/Low)

UNIT Training

Coach
Coach Blaine McConnell

Train Hard. Recover Smart. Repeat.

The High/Low system: built for the person who still wants to push, without paying for it all week.

High days are where you push: sprints, jumps, and heavy lifts, done fresh so every rep counts. Low days keep you moving with conditioning, mobility, and light work that builds you up without wearing you down.

What that means for you:

Build muscle that moves. You hit your hardest lifting and sprint sessions fresh, so every set drives growth, and the speed and power work keeps that size athletic. More quality volume. Recovered muscles handle more hard sets. More quality volume means more growth. Fewer tweaks and pulls. No max-effort sprinting or heavy sets on beat-up legs. No burnout. Fatigue never piles up, so you can stay consistent for months, and consistency is what builds size. Fits your life. Fewer truly hard days, more muscle from each one.

Stop grinding. Start building athletic muscle.

Every Hard Session Counts
You show up to High Days fresh, so you can hit real intensity: faster sprints, bigger jumps, heavier lifts.

Fatigue Doesn’t Pile Up.
Grouping the stressful work together and separating it with easier Low Days keeps you from slowly grinding yourself down across the week.

Long Term Consistency.
Because you’re not constantly beat up, you can keep training for the full 3 months without forced breaks, and consistency is what drives results.
