Alex Roberts

This 6 week program (4 training sessions per week) is designed to help athletes (competitive or not) establish a solid foundation of movement and lifting technique.

Using the same movements and programming methods that Coach Roberts used to help capture an Indiana 5A Football State Title in his 3rd year as a head strength and conditioning coach, this program will teach you solid technique and prepare you for various lifting programs in the future.

Although designed with high school athletes in mind, anybody pursuing a healthy lifestyle and proper technique in the weight room will benefit largely from this program.

Build the foundation first. The rest will follow.
