Max Schmarzo

Want to get stronger? Want to get more powerful? Well you came to the right place. Strength programs don't always develop muscular power and power programs don't always build muscular strength, but when programmed right you can build both qualities at once. 

We focus on three major aspects of power and strength.

1. High levels of central drive from the central nervous system (neural power)

2. High levels of intent and maximal force output (heavy lifting and moving light weights
fast)

3. High levels of neuromuscular reflexive drive (upper and lower body plyometrics)

So no need to wait around, in order to get powerful and strong, you need to tap into your neuromuscular system from all angles. You need to not just activate it, but need to create adaptation! 


This program is a four week, six days a week - sessions last around 40-70 minutes
