This program was designed to help me prepare for GoRuck Selection. This program runs 4 stages and is designed to help develop and build the complete athlete by focusing on different adaptable traits in a sequential order. Addressing absolute strength and the ability for the client to develop and express high levels of strength. This becomes important the further we go as it is the foundation for us to stack all subsequent programming on. This program is designed to develop and high level of strength and set participants of for phase two, which begins to slowly shift the focus from strength to power with a slight up-tick in aerobic work.

This program is designed for experienced clients and athletes. It is designed to be modified and can be repeated as often as you like.

Strength
We deliver a dedicated strength program designed to drive adaptation and build resilience. This program can be run as a stand alone 8-week strength developing program or it can be used as part of our tiered system. Strength>Strength Power>Power Capacity/Specificity

Resiliency
In addition to generating significant strength progress this program will also build on resiliency. Isometrics, eccentrics, plyometrics and volume specificity all come together to begin the process of building longstanding resiliency.

Capacity
Strength, resiliency, and work capacity. This program sets the foundation for what is to come. Your ability to not only complete, but withstand and show up the next day is specifically tied to your capacity for work, or stress. We target this through specific block layouts and undulating intensities and volumes.
