Joe Pedulla

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

If you aren't APEX READY, we're gonna change that.

SPEED
THE FAST FORTY is going to be a tremendous focus for us. You've never seen a speed program like this one before. Things look a little different when you take a long term, 20 week approach. We are going to use resisted sprints, flying 10s, hard accelerations, bounding variations, fly-float-flies and technical drills. I can just feel the massive volume of PRs coming already.
benefit-image-1
POWER
THE TOSS. THE BROAD. THE VERT. We are going to use a variety of throws at different loads. We will measure single, double, and triple broad jump variations. Your vertical jump training will involve a variety of plyometrics, approach jumps and more. Olympic lifts will be a tool we use often to drive your power numbers up as well.
benefit-image-2
STRENGTH
THE PULL. THE PUSH. We are going to use some Triphasic principles early on, AMRAP sets on your bench press work, hypertrophy circuit training, cluster sets and other maximal strength & hypertrophy methods that will make your strength numbers explode.
benefit-image-3
ENDURANCE
We are going to take a multifaceted approach to prepare you for THE MILE while also sparing your legs of running impact on certain training days. This will allow you to still sprint fast, jump high, and lift heavy every week. We will do a mixture of extensive tempo, repeat 200s and 400s, aerobic capacity training, and also aerobic and lactic power intervals on the assault bike.

FAQs
Can I adjust this program to fit my schedule?
It can be accomplished. Simply message me in the app and I can help you.
How much time should I expect to spend on training every day?
Distractions can make these training days longer than they need to be. You need to bring 100% focus to each day. Each day should take about an hour with the exception of your Upper Body + Mile Prep day (this will take 75-90 minutes) and your Max Velocity + Lower Body Day (this can take 90+ minutes).
