Just like the drink this program is strong, smooth, and explosive.  Unlike the drink, you get to leave others feeling messed up!

This team is designed for people who love to train and compete in different sports.  There are a lot of benefits to getting stronger and more explosive, but when you compete at something, you need to dedicate time to practice and drills.

This program has 3 types of days:

  1. Heavy lifting days  - The Irish stout in the mix. Get strong with some heavy lifting.
  2. Technique days. - The Irish creme, in order to stay smooth for your sports, you have to keep a premium on technical work, and staying fresh.  Short conditioning circuits to be before or after your drill work.
  3. A hybrid day.  - The Irish Whiskey - A little bit of strength work, a lot of explosive movements.

The combination of these three days should get you strong, but not make you sacrifice time away from your sports that you compete at!

11 years as a strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and sports nutritionist Master's in Exercise Physiology NSCA - CSCS*D USAW Olympic Lifting Coach I've been lucky enough to work with and train a wide variety of people and athletes. From division 1 athletes and future NBA players, to a mom of 3 who was looking to get her figure back, and just about everyone in between.

FAQs
Are there any other terms and conditions?
Yes, I do require a waiver and release of liability to be signed during the trial period of the program. You can find the waiver and full terms at the following website. https://squatsandhops.com/disclaimer-and-release-of-liability/
Who is this program for?
This program was designed for someone who enjoys lifting, but has a sport or activity they are competitive in outside of the weight room. The technique/conditioning days are set up so that you have a quick train session, but can spend the majority of your time training for competition.
What if I don't have any equipment? Or I can't do a specific lift?
There is a solution that we can find! Usually substitution suggestions are added into the workouts, but also you can check out https://squatsandhops.com/exercise-substitutions/ for updated suggestions.
What if I miss a day? When can I start?
If you miss a day, or have a unique workout schedule you can reschedule any session on your calendar. You can start at anytime! Workouts are posted in 4 - 6 week blocks, but you can jump in at anytime!

"Since starting Squats and Hops, I have had my best and most consistent season yet; Finishing top 4 in every competition I entered. The programming is individualized to my needs and has helped maximize my performance. The app is easy to use and serves as a great "journal" to look back on progress."
