GRAPPLING STRENGTH #1

Get started today!

The overall goal of this 12 week program is to become “Animal Strong” - Think about being functionally athletic and being able to move your body fast / strong / and fluid! When you watch animals - monkeys / bears / tigers etc notice how powerful and explosive they are but also how dynamic and fluid they move without any resistance or strength training. Animals are only concerned with physical performance and not aesthetic gain! The goal of this program is to become PRIMAL - just like a predator in the wild - Athletic / functional / competitive and as a biproduct you will also experience aesthetic gains as well. In order to best utilize this 12 week beast of a program is to show up everyday with the intention to GET BETTER! Challenge yourself daily and come ready to work! I also recommend performing some form of recovery work every single day - I will incorporate some form of recovery after every sessions but keep your options open and be creative! YouTube is always a great option! I recommend training this 3 day training block around your sport specific training or practice! I prefer to Strength train on my toughest sports specific training days - make the hard days hard and rest more on your easier sports specific training days! Example: I choose Monday / Wednesday / Friday because those are my hardest sports specific training days! There is no right or wrong way to program these sessions / find what works best for you and attack!
