FAQs
Will you be making more workout programs?
Yes. I will begin uploading more of my workout regimes based on the demand and response I get from this 6-week program.
Do I have to rest on the off days?
No. Further activity is encouraged based on your body's status and ability to recover. I've had several athletes utilize this program during the off-season where they would have sport-specific activities on the off days.
