Strength To Shred: Standard

Coach
Liz Myers, C.S.C.S.

Strength To Shred Standard is an 8 week DIY training program built for skiers and snowboarders who want to get strong, rip hard, and shred pain-free throughout the 24/25' season.

The program includes 8 weeks of progressive programming that is broken into 2 training blocks:

  1. Foundations

During the first 4 weeks, you'll build a foundational strength, develop proper landing mechanics, and prepare your body for more demanding training that takes place in phase 2.

  1. Downhill Capacity

The last 4 weeks will help you build the capacity & resiliency to handle long days on the snow without fatigue or nagging pain holding you back. Layering capacity work over foundational strength will help you perform better, reduce the risk of injury, and adapt quickly when ripping down mountains.

Reduce Your Risk Of Injury
Research shows that multi-component preventative training programs (like this one) can reduce ACL injuries by up to 75% if performed 2-3x/week prior to getting on the snow. The STS program encompasses elements like strength, plyometrics, proprioception, landing mechanics, mobility, and sport specific capacity work to help you prevent injuries & have an epic season from start to finish.

Improve Your Confidence & Push Limits
A strong body supports better control & stability on the snow, which will make you feel more capable when navigating varied terrain. Physical readiness translates to increased confidence & assurance that your body is set up to push limits without fear of injury holding you back.

Get STRONG & Rip Hard
Going into the winter season feeling timid & weak is no way to live. My goal with this program is to help you get as resilient as possible so you can continue to progress, shred pain free, and feel STRONG no matter your age. Putting in the work isn't easy, but you'll be stoked you did once you get on the snow & start realizing what you are truly capable of.
