Strength & Conditioning, Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Endurance, Bodybuilding, Functional Fitness, Functional Training, General Fitness, HuntingLevel 2 Hard to Kill is a slight upgrade to the former level 1 plan. This training plan is another 4 day a week plan with 2 strength training days and 3 endurance training sessions. This means that 1 day in the week will be a stacked training day, meaning there are 2 sessions programmed into 1 day - one of the main philosophies in the "Train hard. Train smart" motto. The goal of the endurance training sessions is to take 10 weeks to build into a 10 mile run.
Being a hybrid athlete means you are progressing in multiple facets of fitness at the same time, and the Level 2 training program is a smooth transition continuing to build strength and endurance while also increasing training load to build resilience and tolerance to multiple training modes - for us, it's strength and endurance.
Someone who is hard to kill is an individual who expresses an ability to withstand stress and grow despite adversity - someone who is resilient and tough. The best way to train resiliency and toughness is to focus on these 5 pillars of fitness: Run far, run fast, lift heavy, lift fast, jump often.
Hard to Kill is a training program for anyone looking for an efficient and effective hybrid training program, combining strength with power with endurance. After over 10 years of experience programming with science based methods, the Hard to Kill training split gives a well balanced, detailed weekly structure to improve strength, endurance, athleticism, and body composition.
Hard to Kill is the perfect program for anyone who loves to train hard and train smart. If you're looking for a hybrid program to get you past the plateaus and hurdles of your past fitness programs, then the HTK system is for you. By combining multiple facets of fitness, Hard to Kill will prepare anyone for so many of life's stresses, and more importantly, make you hard to kill.
