Seasoned Athlete I

Gym Jones

Coaches
Matt Owen and Cate Williams

**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.

Programming for longevity.
This program is written for someone who wants to maintain peak physical condition but could do without the sore knees, shoulders and back. There is an enormous emphasis on shoulder and hamstring health which helps mobility and injury proofing. This program will help you build the proper base to execute subsequent programs.

Adjusted for your goals.
At Gym Jones, our goal is to keep athletes in the game for as long as humanly possible. Sometimes this means altering the weights, number of "hard days", or the movements, but it doesn’t mean it's "less." It's just different.
