This is an intermediate/advanced training team that follows the same program that coach Colin is running. The goal of this program in the gym is to maximize hypertrophy while incorporating strength movements with moderate volume, high intensity training designed to build muscle and strength. . The goal of this training team outside of the gym is to create a community of like minded lifters who are class conscious and are looking for other lifters who are tired of the overly macho, capitalistic messaging that is pervasive in so much of the fitness industry. This is not purely a strength training team, nor is it purely political. This team aims to blend the two worlds, elevating your training while also fostering a team of like minded fitness enthusiasts.
