Embark on an intensive eight-week program meticulously crafted to propel you towards comprehensive strength gains throughout your entire body. While the program incorporates the prominent powerlifting trio, it extends beyond a conventional powerlifting approach. The primary objective is to consistently increase the weights lifted across all major muscle groups.

Commit to training rigorously five days a week, yet rest assured that each workout won't demand an extensive time investment. Your sessions are designed to be efficiently completed in under an hour, ensuring optimal progress. Emphasizing the use of barbells and dumbbells, we strive to maximize your potential, while also incorporating strategic machine work. If lacking cables or machines, adapt and make the most out of the equipment available to you. Progress is our focus, and this program is tailored to usher you toward your strength goals.
