FAQs
What if I don't have the right equipment or the gym is too busy?
For some of the exercises, there are alternatives pencilled into the notes boxes. Though, if there is not and you cannot swap something out yourself, feel free to message in the chat function and see what others have altered too.
Do I need to do all of the topups?
No, only the core programme is compulsory. If you know you will just complete the gym sessions then that is fine - you will see improvement. However, if you know that your game conditioning is lacking and you aren't completing the off-feet topups then you are setting yourself up for failure.
What if I miss a session?
Prioritise what is most important to you; if you know your speed sucks but you want to hit your uppers session (and you only have time for one) try to find a combination that allows a bit of both so you get both what you want and what you need.

"The programme has helped me build strength and functional mass weekly without becoming boring. Despite putting on muscle, the area it has helped me improve most is my speed and on pitch performance, giving me the confidence to accelerate through gaps that I wouldn't have before."
