FAQs
How many days per week will I be training?
Gym Jones SPA athletes will train 5 days a week. Athletes can expect three hard days (M/W/F) with lots of variation to avoid accommodation.
Is this programming sport-specific?
Short answer: No. Long answer: this program can be considered general strength and conditioning to compliment any sport-specific athlete. Matt coaches many UFC and football athletes who follow training similar to this training program, but anyone looking for a solid strength base will benefit.
What kind of training blocks can I expect?
SPA athletes can expect some traditional strength work in addition to some “fun” GPP and condensed conditioning blocks. Strength blocks will feature heavy lifts with plenty of injury prevention in the mix. Deload blocks will be programmed after the conclusion of each training cycle (4-6 weeks).
