This program is designed for the Hybrid Athlete, anyone looking to improve lean muscle/strength & full-spectrum conditioning. This program is progressed monthly, through science-based principles, to maximize your conditioning while keeping you strong! You will have 24/7 access to us and the WPL Hybrid Athlete Team Community!

This is not your typical running or lifting program. We program anaerobic (speed & peak), threshold (intensity & consistency) and aerobic (pace & base) conditioning work. You will also complete cross-training strength work to build injury resilience. We progress our strength work and conditioning every 3-4 weeks. We utilize the Jack Daniel’s VDOT Pacing Calculator to program individualized pacing for all of our conditioning work. You will never be guessing what intensity you should be training at! You will manage your fatigue, feel fresher, and break through plateaus with this innovative programming style!

This program is programmed out with 2-3 days per week of conditioning/running, with 2-3 day per week of strength work. Each training session generally takes 60 minutes! Depending on your time, you can complete the 4 day per week or 6 day per week track!

Build The Physique You Want
This program is designed to help you unlock your body composition/physique goal! Our science-based, progressive program will give you everything you need to reach your goals. Keep in mind, body composition is all about calories in & calories out. We will help you with the "calories out" portion of that equation. If you handle the "calories in" portion of the equation, your potential is limitless!

FAQs
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for anyone looking to improve their lean muscle mass and conditioning status! The program uses higher blends our WPL PowerBuilding programming with full spectrum energy system conditioning. This is a great program for any Hybrid Athlete!
Do I have to wait for a new cycle to join?
You can join the program whenever. The programming is progressed monthly but is designed to allow you to hop in at any point. You can adjust your weights/reps/pacing accordingly. We can also help you adjust the program when you join, if needed!
How much lifting experience do I need?
You do not need any prior lifting experience! This program is designed for the novice or intermediate person. We pride ourselves on giving great exercise instructions to make sure you understand each exercise and intent behind every part of the programming. We also attach videos for every movement!
How many days a week and how much time is needed for each day?
We program out 6 training sessions a week that typically take 60 minutes to complete (from warm up through cool down). You can follow a 4, 5, or 6 training session per week model, pending you time constraints. You will see 3 lifting days and 3 conditioning days per week.
How often do the workouts change?
This is not your typical program that uses the same exercises & gets boring. We balance the need for longer progressions, with keeping the workouts fresh. We program primary lifts for 6-8 wks, while varying our accessory work/conditioning every 3-4 wks. We also change set/rep schemes every 3-4 wks!
What if I don't understand a specific movement or part of the program?
