This program is for the "washed" athlete. The person who's athletic career may be over and their skills may not be what they used to be, but they still enjoy playing sports and doing athletic things. The person who feels like they are too young to be feeling as stiff and achy as they move their bodies. The person who cares more about how well they move outside of the weight room more than in it. The person who wants to be able to perform the activities they enjoy without being limited by pain or discomfort.
This is a comprehensive program for the intermediate to advanced lifter or athlete that focused on improving each aspect of strength as it pertains to athleticism (strength, power, stability, mobility, endurance, etc.). Here the focus is on building efficiency and strength in different movement patterns (squat, hinge, lunge, vertical/horizontal press/pull) and sports performance methods (slam, jump, sprint).
This is best served as an 8-Week Program at minimum but 12 and 16 weeks will also bring pleasurable results to your performance on the court/field, in the weight room, and most importantly, your everyday life as a human being.
