This is how the everyday athlete needs to train.
We started as Animo Training Programs, where our goal was to simply share sound and proven methodologies with our friends and anyone who was interested in training hard. We all know that training hard work, but too often we try to balance too many variables and it stops being productive.
We start taking days off because our body doesn’t feel right.
We jump from one plan to another or just repeat what we know time and time again.
Progress stalls.
And things stop working.
We are determined to change that.
This is an ongoing year-long plan, meant to take you through the proper stages any high-caliber athlete goes through, regardless of your current level.
Get strong while staying fit, because it can be done.
Become the fittest you’ve ever been, and take some time to enjoy it.
We work on 12-week Macrocycles, focusing on strength, conditioning, and finally display of athletic prowess. Each one of these cycles is divided into 4-week mesocycles, comprised of 3 weeks of loading and one week of deloading.
In the end, all we’ve learned is that hard training is necessary, smart training is imperative, and ATP Works.
