Strong, Lean, and Conditioned
Lumberjack isn't your traditional strength program.
It's not built just for PRs, but for those who want to lift heavy while still getting a regular dose of conditioning.
Lumberjack is a conjugate-style strength program that integrates strongman conditioning, sprinting, and run interval training.
It is a balanced program for those who simply want to move some heavy weights but can't afford to slow down in other areas of their training.
100+ athletes completed Lumberjack on our Tactical Athlete training team and the results were outstanding.
We routinely saw athletes hitting new PRs, while remaining conditioned and moving more efficiently.
If you're ready to commit, we have the blueprint right here.
