In what was considered a golden age of physical culture, icons of the iron game like Tommy Kono, Franco Columbo, Steve Reeves, and others were truly as strong as they looked. The physiques on the stage were equally capable in the “pit.” Built Strong is a return to this golden age of physical culture.

But why focus on hypertrophy if one isn’t likely to bodybuild or to train bodybuilders? Because solid muscle is armor against life’s “threats,” helping you to:

  • Gain “functional muscle”
  • Increase strength
  • Improve posture
  • Enhance body composition, symmetry, and proportions
  • Look fitter, healthier, more muscular, sculpted, and imposing
  • Fight age-related muscle loss

Built Strong takes the elite strength programming information in Pavel’s ground-breaking Plan Strong™ seminar and applies it to hypertrophy. These principles create a unique system for gaining muscle and strength across multiple areas and lifts.

Built Strong takes traditional training variables—such as frequency, volume, intensity, reps, sets, rest, and more—and teaches you how to expertly manipulate them to design effective hypertrophy programs based on Built Strong principles. And in contrast to more traditional bodybuilding approaches that focus on single muscles, our system trains movement patterns—never forgetting that function precedes the structure.

Built Strong’s sophisticated algorithm allows you to precisely customize the training to your goals, to the time available for training, and to the available equipment—as opposed to the common, but often highly unreliable, “instinctive” bodybuilding methods.

And finally, Built Strong sessions do not leave you sore the following days, making it ideal for anyone looking for muscular gains while still playing another sport, being physically active, and enjoying life.
