Project 56 - Base Building

Build Muscle with Purpose. Move with Confidence.

"Form the Foundation. Build the Machine."

Before jumping into high-skill work like Olympic lifting, kipping pull-ups, or fast-paced WODs, your body needs a solid base. This program ensures you develop strength and muscle in a controlled, structured way while mastering the tempo, stability, and movement patterns needed to stay injury-free.
