This is an intense 6-week routine that is designed to be repeated 2-4 times, giving you 3-6 months of consistent progress. The 3-day version includes three total-body workouts per week. Each workout will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. It is highly recommended that athletes complete the Foundational Program, or have significant training experience, before starting the Advanced Program. A weight room with barbells and dumbbells is needed. This workout can be done individually or with groups/teams.
