**This program is part 1 (weeks 1-4) of an 8 week training program written with seasoned athletes in mind. **
The reality is that life is long, and after years of grueling training and intense competition, some of us are ready for a new kind of work in the gym. Maybe an injury brought you here, or maybe killing yourself in the gym just isn’t fun anymore. Either way, this program can help you maintain a high level of performance for as long as possible by addressing structural imbalances and expanding the strong base on which you built your athletic career.
This program is designed for someone who has a good knowledge of the gym and some history of structured training, but wants to focus on training for longevity rather than training to compete. It's adjusted with that in mind, but the outcome is the same: this is written to produce a stronger, more balanced, more conditioned athlete at the end of 4 weeks of consistent training.
