Daniel Lemke

METCON FOR MUSCLE (MFM) CORE is a CrossFit style training program for busy individuals of all fitness levels looking to maximize performance and hypertrophy at the same time. With over 10+ years of experience programming for CrossFit affiliates and individual athletes our head coach Daniel Lemke offers clear progressions and individually tailored workout weights to skyrocket Your performance.

As the MFM training cycles are designed to maximize the progress of every participant, this program is NOT for athletes who like to push RX'd weights and bust their bodies every day of the week. Every workout comes with an individual weight recommendation based on past performances.

To achieve maximum results, MFM incorporates the best training systems like The Poliquin Shock Method, German Volume Training, Heavy Segment Training and more into CrossFit style conditionings.

All Training Cycles have specific movements that are progressively overloaded within the weekly rotations as well as targeted accessory exercises to work towards a structural balanced physique. We follow a low volume, minimum effective dose approach and train hard, but smart.

ALL THE THINKING WORK DONE FOR YOU
METCON FOR MUSCLE is the result of 10+ years of programming for CrossFit Affiliates and Athletes. It is a general physical preparedness program designed to build the musculature that helps you to sustain the demands of the sport and to excel in it.

TAILOR-MADE WORKOUT LOADS
The CrossFit-Style conditionings of the METCON FOR MUSCLE come with an individual load prescription based on YOUR individual level and past performances. Each participant is working with loads that are challenging but also allowing for perfect execution.

LOW VOLUME, HIGH PERFORMANCE
All sessions are designed with a minimum effective dose approach in mind. What that means? In every workout You only need a certain number of stimulating reps to trigger the mechanisms for progressing constantly. Everything beyond that can cause the accumulation of more fatigue, wear the body down and increase the risk of injury. We focus on giving YOU the right amount that you need to progress.

ALL IN ONE SOLUTION
Cut out the guesswork. The METCON FOR MUSCLE comes with detailed Session Overviews (focus, time, equipment & training stimulus), exercise instructions, movement demo videos and points of performance. We guide YOU through the whole session with general and specific warm ups, strength & conditioning workouts and accessory exercises at the end of each session.
