Training Philosophy
Train with purpose, not just to train
The purpose of this program is to assist in the continuation of training as an athlete for as long as you can. In order to accomplish or sustain that, we don't want to train just to train.
Ground-Based Warm Up
A thorough ground-based warm up to reset posture landmarks prior to each day of training, based on normal mobility/stability deficiencies that are common among athletes and the normal population — addressing how the body functions efficiently.
Muscle Activation
Post warm up entails a series of activation exercises targeting musculature and global core that will be used during that day's workout to ensure quality of exercise technique and reduce the chance of injury.
Progressive Strength Training
Primary strength exercises are based on percentages and progressed based on a working 1 Rep Max (1RM), ensuring measurable progress and appropriate intensity for your current fitness level.

From the beginning, he helped shape the vision and build this life, long before we had any idea how big it might be. A true friend, a brother, a mentor, a coach.
