Yesterday on my Instagram account I shared that I am looking for 10 volunteers to test a pilot program for me. I have 7/10 spots filled after just the first few hours, and am looking to fill up the final slots. Below is a quick synopsis; please read everything before replying.
OVERVIEW
If you are interested please do two things:
While I try to hop on this forum from time-to-time, I realize a lot of you may not know me. Here is a quick background:
OVERVIEW
- Goals are a balance of strength & hypertrophy along with endurance
- This is quite similar to how I usually structure my own training, and I believe is a great format for BJJ / grapplers
- Sessions are 4x per week x 7-weeks. Participants must commit to doing all the sessions
- Two of the weekly sessions will probably take 60-75 min, and the other two 30-45 min (including a warm up of your choice)
- This is intended for people of at least moderate experience level. This is NOT a beginner friendly program
- Participants must have access to barbells & a power rack and proficiency with classic barbell movements (DL, BP, etc.)
- Participants must have access to kettlebells and proficiency with swings and TGU
- Participants must have access to at least one piece of cardio equipment with a monitor, such a Rogue Echo bike or a Concept 2 rower
- I will not be providing technique instruction in this program - you must already be skilled at all the movements. I have already had a ton of people ask me "I don't know how to deadlift, can I still do it?" Or similarly "I am comfortable with barbells but I have no experience with kettlebells, can I still do it" ... the answer to both questions is a polite NO. You must be experienced at all of the above for this particular program.
- Must be available to start ASAP ... probably next week
- MUST COMMIT TO DOING THE ENTIRE PROGRAM. I will not accept applicants who can only do some of the days or some of the weeks.
- Must commit to providing me feedback on how your progress is coming along and how you enjoy the training. After the full program, if you enjoyed it, I would also ask for a testimonial that I can use.
If you are interested please do two things:
- Send me a PM. In the PM please confirm that you meet the criteria that I outlined above
- After sending the PM please also make a comment in the thread here. Something at simple as "PM sent" so that I know to check ... often these can be missed
