FINALLY, a program to follow.
My name is Joe Pedulla and I want to personally welcome you to APEX READY. I would also like to publicly recognize and express appreciation for Tim Riley's collaboration for this massive project. This is the very first officially licensed APEX training program to ever hit the market. The APEX brand name, image and likeness has been used with permission and collaboration by and from APEX Founder, Tim Riley.
Designed for the greatest athletes on earth, APEX athletes, this program will take you through a systematic, structured blueprint to help you attain the greatest APEX SCORE possible. From THE FAST 40, THE TOSS, the BROAD, THE VERT, THE PULL, THE PUSH, and THE MILE, we cover it all with intensity and balance.
The goal of this 20 week training system is to take you from Monday, December 1st, and turn you into a complete monster, leading you directly into the next in person APEX event 20 weeks from now. This program also has embedded leaderboards and competitions at least 4 times per week so that you can compete with others as you train. We EXPECT you to flaunt those numbers in the community chat.
Here is the weekly structure: (certain days will change as you approach and work through the taper phase at the end):
Monday: Acceleration, Throws & Jumps
Tuesday: Jumps, OLY Lifts & Lower Body Strength
Wednesday: Upper Body Strength & Mile Run Prep
Thursday: Aerobic Capacity/Steady State Conditioning & Arm Farm
Friday: Max Velocity, Plyometrics, OLY Lifts & Lower Body Strength
Saturday: Upper Body Strength, Hypertrophy & HIIT Conditioning
Here is the training block sequence:
2 Weeks: General Work Capacity
4 Weeks: Maximal Strength
3 Weeks: Power
3 Weeks: Specific Work Capacity
4 Weeks: Maximal Strength
2 Weeks: Power
2 Week Volume Taper Phase
