This first program is our foundations program. A perfect blend of strength, hypertrophy, and power.
This program is the ideal jumping off point for more specialized and targeted programming to come.
We are looking to increase strength in the squat, deadlift, and pressing patterns with an equal emphasis on adding lean muscle mass in the process.
Our tertiary priorities include increasing explosive power and improving mobility through specific prep drills. Be strong, look good, be explosive, move well.
You must have access to a barbell, rack, and some dumbbells to make the program effective.
You must be able to commit 4 days per week for roughly 60 minutes per session.
This is not for everyone, and only for those truly committed to put in the work.
Are you ready?
