Coach
Cris O'Brien

An 8-week program designed to begin building functional, athlete-specific hypertrophy.  Why do we need hypertrophy?  In order to get strong, first we need to get big.  This is designed to serve as a second step in our hypertrophy training during the off-season, built on the foundation from hypertrophy phase I.  These gains will be further developed in our strength cycle program.  Perfect for athletes in the start of off-season training.
