POWERBUILT encompasses what Look Strong Naked is all about- being strong AND looking the part. The goal of this 8-week “powerbuilding” program is to get big and strong while maintaining athleticism.

The strength movements of focus are incline bench press, stiff leg deadlifts, bench press, and front squats. Both secondary movements and accessories support main lifts and promote muscle growth.

Goal: Get big and strong

Structure: Training sessions centered on: incline bench press, stiff leg deadlifts, bench press, and front squats, and LSN style conditioning Deliberately chosen accessory movements for strength and hypertrophy Conditioning and recovery focused movements that also help your joint health and core strength

Intensity: The weights on this block will be lighter than your last peaking phase, we are giving your body and nervous system a different stimulus and an opportunity to recover Intensity will have a different look in the form of tempo based movements (fun) and increased ROM with snatch grip deads and high bar squats (extra fun). This doesn’t mean you aren’t bringing the intensity every training session, but your focus is going to be more on movement quality rather than max weight.

Conditioning day: As always, we want you to move like an athlete so we program this day with that specific goal in mind. We mix in steady state cardio, explosive movement, and stability work to keep you healthy and strong.
