FAQs
Do I have to train everyday?
The short answer is no. You can pick and choose the days in which you train. However, the program is designed on an alternating high-stress to low-stress schedule so you can perform movement every day,
What if I don't have the equipment?
You can alternate and swap exercises as necessary based on the equipment available and the facility you are at. Reach out and we can even provide a recommendation based on your situation!
How long will it take to see results?
Results will vary depending on habits performed outside the gym. Training will send a stimulus to begin muscle change and adaptation, but it will only be optimized with proper diet, stress management, and sleep efficiency. Stay committed and trust the process.
What if i experience pain during the training?
Always listen to your body. If you experience pain, stop the activity and, if needed, consult a healthcare professional. It’s essential to ensure that any discomfort isn’t a sign of an injury and to discuss adjusting your program accordingly with your coach.
Who is this program designed for?
This program is designed to any athlete who is in a more physically based sport, such as hockey rugby, and football.
