Valhalla Strong is a General Physical Preparation program that ss perfect for competitive and recreational athletes, tactical athletes, and the everyday athlete.
Each training block is 4 weeks long and emphasizes a slightly different physical quality while never being too far removed from any other strength quality.
We begin with a volume acclimation phase with an emphasis on movement quality development and grooving solid movement patterns.
Then we transition to a base-building strength phase where we decrease the volume a bit and emphasize building a wide foundation of strength.
From here we move into a power expression phase where we exploit the efficiency of the nervous system and tap into our newly developed strength base to show you how powerful you really are.
Most importantly, we want you to embrace the training process and enjoy each session. Goals are awesome, but the journey is the real achievement.
