This program is a 4 Day, high intensity, total body resistance training program and is 8 weeks in length. 2 Blocks, 4 Weeks Each
The selected movements will gear the participant towards maximizing a hormonal response to create a stimulus for strength improvements.
The first phase is the intensification phase. It's intention is to develop a strong base for strength via tempo training at moderate to high intensities and increasing intensities for supplemental work.
The Second Phase is the realization phase. Its intention is to reach our highest training intensities of the program while also testing our max at the end of the program to assess strength improvements.
This program would be the ideal follow up system to our Lighthouse Method 4 Day Muscle Mass Gain Program.
