“The best ability is availability” - Brian Dawkins

Our Bulletproof Series is designed to help build mobility/strength in regionally specific areas of the body, to build injury resiliency and keep you available to train and compete. These programs are supplemental training and can be paired/added to any of our other training programs.

This program is specific for the shoulder joint region!

This 6 week program is programmed out with 3 days per week of strength and mobility work, with 1 optional yoga day. Each training session generally takes 20-30 minutes!

This is NOT medical advice, if you are injured or in pain go and see your local physical therapist!

Build Injury Resiliency
The best injury prevention program is a damn good strength & conditioning program! The stronger and more endurance a person has, the more force they can absorb specifically in a fatigued state. The more mobility a person has, the better they can handle extreme ranges of motion required in sport & training. All of these elements of injury prevention are strategically progressed in this program!

Cool Down

The goal of our cool down is to let our heart/circulatory system recovery (we want our heart rate to drop below 100 bpm before finishing the training session) Additionally, we want to take advantage of our literally warm body to work on mobility. Part 1 = Complete 3-5 minutes of static stretching. Work on any muscles that feel tight and on the primary muscle groups we trained in this session. See the attached video for a suggested static stretching flow! Part 2 = Box breathing while laying supine. Complete 2-3 minutes of diaphragmatic breaths (4 sec in, 4 sec hold, 4 sec out, 4 sec hold).
