Develop athleticism through equal doses of agility, strength, and endurance training. During this 8-week program, you'll build a stable, thick trunk that will make oak trees jealous. With a progressive, concurrent approach to power, strength, and endurance, you'll be ready for any training or athletic demands after this program.
Originally designed as an 8-week Ski Season prep program, this program is also ideal for kick-starting off-season training and an ideal intro to our 3x5 Strength or Pure Mass Hypertrophy programs.
