Welcome to Functional Performance, the advanced strength training team of Beyond Performance! If you're seeking a program that will elevate your physical strength to the next level, look no further. Our programming comprises of four strength peaks throughout the year, each consisting of three distinct training blocks.

This program is designed for individuals who want to improve their maximum strength, become more powerful and explosive, and have some prior training experience. Our programming uses advanced training techniques to help you achieve your goals.

The first block, "Strength Endurance", helps build lean muscle and develops aerobic capacity. The subsequent block, "Strength", includes specific phases for eccentric, isometric, and concentric training to develop the body's force-producing mechanisms. The third block, "Power", enhances neuromuscular efficiency to improve the rate of force development. These blocks are cycled throughout the year to keep you progressing towards your goals.

At Beyond Performance, we leave no stone unturned in providing you with a road map to crush your personal records. We're excited to have you on board!

FAQs
What should I expect on an average training day?
Each session begins with movement prep and activation, followed by either a lower or upper body focus of balanced resistance training. Expect mobility exercises strategically paired with resistance training for efficient and effective training.
What happens if I miss a day?
No worries! With TrainHeroic you have the freedom to move training sessions around on your calendar to work with your schedule.
What does a week of training look like?
Our program features an upper/lower body split. Lower body days are on Mondays and Thursdays, while upper body days are on Tuesdays and Fridays. The first two days are medium intensity, while the last two are high intensity, optimizing your performance with undulating periodization.
