FAQs
What kind of results can I expect from The Hoss Project 2.0?
You can expect to build muscle and get significantly stronger. The program is designed to drive measurable improvements in both size and performance when followed with consistency and effort.
How many days per week is the program? And how long are the sessions?
The program includes 4 strength training sessions per week—3 full-body days and 1 upper-body day—plus 1 sprint/plyometric session and 2 conditioning sessions. Strength workouts typically take 60–70 minutes depending on your warm-up time, exercise transitions, and overall pace.
Is this program suitable for beginners?
Beginners can do this program, but it’s best suited for lifters with at least 18 months of consistent training under their belt. It assumes a working knowledge of compound lifts and a baseline level of physical preparedness.
What equipment do I need to follow the program?
All you need is basic gym equipment: a squat rack, barbell, plates, and a bench. Dumbbells are optional but useful.
Does the program include sprinting or conditioning work?
Yes. The program includes dedicated sprint/plyo sessions and both aerobic and interval-based conditioning work.
What if I can’t train 4 days per week? Can I still use the program?
Yes. You can run the 3 full-body strength days and skip the 4th, or modify the week to condense the work into your available training slots. The structure is flexible enough to adjust as needed.
Is this program customizable or flexible for different goals?
The primary focus is strength and hypertrophy, but many of the methods and strategies can support other performance goals as well. It’s adaptable if you understand your own priorities.
Do I need access to velocity-based training (VBT) to do the program?
No. The program includes guidance for those using VBT, but it’s completely optional. You’ll still get great results without any tech.
Is there coaching or feedback included with the program?
No. This is a standalone training program. There is no coaching, check-ins, or feedback included.
Is there a progression model? Will I know how to increase weight?
Yes. The program includes detailed progression strategies like double progression, AMRAPs, and density sets. You'll know exactly how to adjust load, reps, and intensity as you go.
Can I repeat the program more than once?
Absolutely. The structure and progression allow you to run the program multiple times with continued benefit.
