Nick Whitmer and Matt Heath

The Standard is for athletes and driven individuals who refuse to train without purpose.

This program is built for those who want structure, accountability, and results—not random workouts.

If you’re tired of guessing, bouncing between programs, or following trends that don’t transfer to performance, this system was built for you.

Why The Standard?

Every session is designed with clear intent—developing strength, speed, durability, and consistency over time. Progressions are planned, volume is managed, and each movement serves a specific purpose within the week and the phase.

Unlike generic programs, The Standard is coached. You’re not just handed a template—you’re guided through a system built by experienced performance coaches with real time in competitive weight rooms. That means intelligent loading, adaptable structure, and coaching insight that helps you execute at a higher level.

This program is ideal for:

Athletes preparing for the next level

Individuals who want to train like an athlete

Those who value discipline, consistency, and long-term development

This isn’t about quick wins.

It’s about raising the way you train—day after day.

If you’re ready to train with intent, commit to a higher standard, and put real work behind your goals, this is where you belong.
