Build strength, endurance, and real-world durability with 12 weeks of carries, lifting, conditioning, and hard work.
What you'll learn
Build strength endurance and work capacity so you can keep producing useful force after fatigue starts to accumulate.
Develop real-world durability through loaded carries, strength training, conditioning, and repeated work under fatigue.
Use sandbag bear hug carries, farmer carries, suitcase carries, lunges, barbells, and dumbbells to build a body that is harder to wear out.
Follow a complete 12-week progressive training program that develops from movement quality and basic capacity
Requirements
At least 1 year of consistent strength and conditioning experience.
Access to a barbell, dumbbells, sandbag, and space for loaded carries.
Healthy enough for demanding 5-day-per-week training.
Description
Build a body that does more than lift heavy once.
