FAQs

Is this the right program for me?

Are your goals to train more athletically, get faster and more powerful, all while continuing to develop your strength and physique? If so, then this is the perfect training program for you.

What should I expect doing this program?

You will be completing one of three different training session types: speed training (on a field), lower body strength or upper body strength. Each session should take approximately 60-minutes to complete.

Can I speak directly to my coach?

Absolutely! Don't understand a coaching cue, want a form check, need to scale or substitute an exercise? The TrainHeroic app provides an easy-to-use chat function so you can direct message me any time you like with questions or videos so you can get the most out of the program.

What if I can't train six days per week?

No problem at all. You'll get the best results by doing all the sessions as planned. However, if you can only get four or five sessions in per week, I recommend following the sessions in sequence and working through them to fit your own training schedule as needed. You'll still make great gains!

I'm new to the gym, should I do this program?

No. I recommend this program to intermediate/advanced trainees looking to take their training to the next level. This is NOT a beginner program. You will be expected to perform weighted chin-ups, power cleans (you don't need to be competent - but willing to learn) and plyometric exercises.

How long does the program last?

New workouts are constantly being added to the program. It lasts all year round if you want it to. Remember, if you don't love it, cancel anytime - no strings attached.

I keep pulling my hamstring. Can I do a program with sprints in it?

Absolutely. Research tells us that the best way to mitigate the risk of hamstring injuries is regular and controlled sprint running. This program is perfect for developing resilient and fast sprinters. If you're concerned about your injury history - just message me and we can make mofifications.

Is this the right program for my sport?

Running-based field sports that require high-intensity accelerations and sprints, explosive strength and muscle mass for collisions. I mainly use this program in the off-season with rugby (league and union), American football, Gaelic football, and Australian rules football players.

What facilities do I need?

A sports field - preferably with a consistent, firm surface and marked lines. A well-equipped functional training gym with a track, weightifting platforms and bumper plates.

I don't play any sport, can I do this program?

Hell yeah! I'm a washed up weekend warrior who hasn't played competitive sport in years, and this is precisely how I train!
