Parker Teagle and Zac Harris

A strength and conditioning program made for those who venture...

Some of us are born to explore, we seek the thrill, the suffering, and the peace that comes from doing hard things in nature...

Caoch Zac & Parker are these types of individuals... While both coaches have spent their career training professional athletes and special operators - both spend any chance they can get seeking thrill in the great outdoors. Coach Parker is an avid surfer, snowboarder, backcountry hunter, and trail runner. Coach Zac, and avid Ice climber and backpacker.

This program is designed by individuals who have a deep understanding of how to build effective Human Performance Programs, but also intimately know what it feels like to be on the brink of physical exhaustion in a hurricane swell, or have your hands go numb climbing a WI.5, or to be setting first tracks after a storm in the backcountry.

While Bench Pressing, Squatting, and Deadliftng have a lot of value, they may not be the best training tools for the outdoor enthusiast. Be prepared to participate in a creative and effective strength training program. The program utilizes things like Landmine RDLs, Half Kneeling One arm Pull Downs, TRX Skier Squats, Single Leg GHD Back Extensions, Single Arm DB Bench Pressing, and so much more. Don't know what any of these exercises are??? SIGN UP TO FIND OUT!!!

The goal of this program is to utilize innovative and creative strength and conditioning methods to help you become the best version on yourself on your next adventure.

Whether your preparing to surf in Costa Rica for a week, training for a backcountry hut trip, or looking for a strength program to compliment your Ultra Marathon Running regimen, or you simply want to be a little stronger so you feel better on your weekly hikes, this program is for you!!!

Its time for you to stop procrastinating and send it...

A Program Designed By Professionals

The fitness space is littered who individuals who claim to be professionals but lack credentials, experience, and knowledge. This program is designed by coaches who have 25 years of collective experience working as full-time Strength and Conditioning coaches for collegiate athletes, progressional athletes, advanced infantry, special operations, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Built for the Unorthodox

From mindsets to fitness - extreme sports require a unique approach. This program is built for the unorthodox athlete who would much rather be outside than in the gym. The program is built to compliment what you do on the mountain, not get in the way of it.

Creative & Versatile Exercises

We all know that getting stronger is helpful for performance, but not everyone knows that you don't have to bench, squat, and deadlift to get stronger... You also don't have to put on a ton of muscle mass to feel the effects of strength on performance. This program utilizes unique exercises and methods that you likely haven't done before, keeping sessions engaging and productive.

Year Round Training

Whether your a summer sport athlete, or winter sport athlete, it doesn't matter. This program utilizes a method called concurrent programming, which is a fancy way of saying we will work on a little bit of everything all year round. So you'll have an all-in-one program that supports your skiing sessions in the winter, and mountain biking ventures in the summer. And everything in-between.

You'll get 3 days of full body strength and conditioning sessions, with an optional 4th workout that is all about the mirror, ARMS & Ab's!

FAQs

Does this program include any running?

Kinda. The program includes conditioning segments that are shorter in nature and geared toward V02 Max development, but it allows you to run or use other equipment. We suggest you incorporate low-intensity running on your off-days (If you're not already out there skiing, climbing, riding, etc.)

Will this program help me put on muscle?

It depends. If you've been weight training a long time, this program will be enough volume for you to keep your muscle, but it likely isn't enough volume to add a bunch of extra muscle mass. But, if don't regularly weight train, you'll reap the rewards without it hurting performance!

What if I can't do some of the exercises?

There will be videos for each exercise, so you'll be able to see what good technique looks like. We will provide alternatives for exercises when possible. If you have an injury you're working through, skip the exercise that effects the injured area. Or you can reach our for an individualized program

Can I do this program in my home gym?

Maybe. This program will mainly use free weights and cable machines. You can use a band in place of the cable machine in most cases (although its not as smooth, and it's hard to keep track of weight). If you have a home gym with DBs, KB, BBs, weights, and cardio equipment, then you can for sure!!

Will these workouts get in the way of my actual sport/hobby?

No! These workouts are designed to make you better at your sport, not worse. While you may get sore once in a while, you shouldn't be so sore you can get out there and get after it! We drive performance through session frequency instead of session volume.
