Are you an experienced lifter with wide ranging goals that span from aesthetics to athletics? Do you want to be muscular, strong, explosive, and quick? Often times, including my own experience, we tend to divide our energy between these qualities in ways that set us back. The entire point of this program is to avoid those downfalls . We accomplish this by:
1 - Putting extreme emphasis on one quality at a time (”A man who chases two rabbit catches neither.”)
2 - Stacking phases intentionally so that each enhanced trait contributes to the enhancement of the next
The entire point being that, 1-year from now, you're an entirely different athlete. Bigger, stronger, faster. More dominant and impressive. I test ran this set up on myself last year and reached all-time bests across the board, now I'm inviting you to find the same success. Let's go!
