Simple Size & Strength (S3) is a training programme designed specifically and only for busy, committed Dads - what we like to call, 'Dads Who Show Up'. The programme is designed to maximise improvements in strength and muscle size, whilst only requiring 4 gym sessions per week with each session **lasting no more than 45 minutes. **
As a team of Dads, we don't believe in programming for a Dad the same as a 25 year old bodybuilder. We know that 6 x 90 minute sessions per week is unrealistic. And not just unrealistic, but unfair on those waiting at home for you.
So, we built our programming to provide maximum results whilst requiring minimal time, utilising supersets of opposing muscle groups to keep the intensity high whilst ensuring the correct amount of weekly volume.
The sessions are quick and effective. But, because the time is short, the intensity is high, so expect to work hard during your short time in the gym.
Would you like more support outside of just this programme? Join our FREE community, Dads Who Show Up on Skool. We provide more training plans, recipe books, nutrition programmes, and weekly coaching calls.
