The Mid-Atlantic Strength program is designed to enhance athletic performance utilizing the basic principles of strength and conditioning.
It was designed for athletes who want to hit the weights but also want the freedom and flexibility to train for their specific goals. Strength and conditioning should be developed in the gym and tested regularly on the outside through sport or hobbies.
The Program involves 5 days of strength, conditioning, and accessories. Each session is around 60 - 75 minutes in length. This allows for adaptation on the body with ample amounts of rest and the freedom to train your specific sport needs without feeling overwhelmed.
