I am a NASM-CPT and an Active Duty EOD Tech in the Navy. I have a wide array of physical training experience. Whether it was strength and conditioning training for rugby during school, slugging it through a rigorous selection course for the Navy, or utilizing velocity-based-training (VBT) during my time as an EOD Tech, I have always been drawn to the sense of community that strength builds.

FAQs
Who is this training for?
This training is perfect for any individual that wants to improve strength quickly and consistently.
How long is each training session?
60-75 minutes
What makes this program different from others?
Unlike other programs that do not properly push the body, this program utilizes high amounts of volume to safely and effectively train strength.
Can I join the program at any time?
YES! Every period (volume, hypertrophy, strength) throughout this macrocycle is a good starting point because the weights for the compound movements are percentage-based. You will benefit from starting at any point.
Are there any changes that can be made to the program?
YES! If you do not have certain equipment or wish to slightly alter the program, I will be happy to do it!! The goal of the Ironclad Community to get stronger together!
