The Athlete's 1000 Club program is a program designed specifically for sport performance by focusing on Single Leg Strengthening, Posterior Chain Health, and Upper Body Power. The foundation of the program is to improve strength on four specific lifts: the Barbell RFE Split Squat, RDL, Barbell Bench Press, and Weighted Pull Up. This program is straight forward and simple to follow, but not for the feint of heart because it will be difficult. The program is broken up into five training days during the week and a recovery circuit on Saturdays. Give this program a try and you will not regret it
