Strongbyscience
As a former athlete, I want to be able to be athletic as long as a I can. The keyword here being "former", meaning I might have taken a break or two from the "athletic" side of things. Regardless, if I want to be able to move and play the way I want to, I need training to help build and maintain my "athletic" base of movement and strength training. This four week program designed to support those goals. We train three days a week, working on a variety of plyometric and strength exercises. Instead of rushing into it, the program is built to progress with intensity over the four week period. Mondays and Fridays are our hybrid lifting/movement days while Wednesday is a mid week break from lifting, solely focused on movement and isometrics. Once you feel ready to go, it might make sense to use this program to slingshot you into the Always An Athlete team
