Build Serious Strength & Power

We build strong and explosive power athletes. Whether you are squaring off on the BJJ mat or lining up on the field, you're the guy the others don't want to line up against. Don't just win - dominate.

Build Your Engine

Add some horsepower under the hood. Become a hybrid athlete capable of moving big weights while still smoking your track workouts and distance runs. Our athletes go the extra mile.

Get Lean. Fill Your Sleeves.

Physical presence goes a long way. Look like an athlete while training and performing like one. Carrying excess body fat is just extra resistance when performing athletic tasks. Pack on muscle through hypertrophy training while keeping the engine hot and getting lean. Our athletes also have priority consideration to work directly with our performance dietitian.

FAQs

Do I start at the beginning of the cyle or start where the team is?

We prefer you pick up where the team is. Your coaches are able to help you scale the volume, so you acclimate appropriately to the team. In the long run, you will have more success and fun staying on the same page as your teammates, and it helps us provide better coaching.

Do I need to know my maxes for each lift?

No. We use the conjugate method and autoregulation, so your efforts each day are based on your readiness. We understand the tactical population has numerous variables outside of the gym that affect performance, so we account for this in our training.

What if I don't have the equipment for some of the exercises?

Your coaches are standing by to assist. Just reach out in the forum and we will get you set up with a substitution that works with what you have on hand.

The Proof

Mark Bartos

"MASS programming is by far the best programming I have ever utilized. Coing off a significant back injury, I thought I'd never lift again. The programing has me squatting and deadlifting very near the weights I was at prior to injury. I'm looking forward to continuing programming through MASS!"

Matt Beasley

"Working with the team has kept me progressing not just in overall strength, but durability. The programming is challenging, adaptable, and most importantly, effective. Thanks to Brian and Ben, I'm not only able to keep up, but outperform folks half my age."
