This is for: Anyone who wants to get strong, athletes in the offseason, or weekend warriors who want to train and look like an athlete.

About: This programme is based on founder Cris O’Brien’s years of experience and education as a post-graduate in Strength and Conditioning, a CSCS, CF-L3, and many, many more. It is a strength-biased programme with 4-5 programmed sessions per week and 1-2 programmed recovery day (i.e. 6 total days of programming). Most sessions will take about 90 minutes to complete.

The programme combines armour building (aka hypertrophy), basic and max strength, power, and anaerobic and aerobic capacity followingsa tried and true periodised structure. To keep things interested, we adjust the focus of each day throughout the year, sometimes even in ways that differ slightly from what is stated in the intro video. In sort, we continue to make this what we believe to be the best strength and conditioning programme out there.
