Prior to beginning a workout plan, you should be cleared for strenuous activity by a medical professional.

This is a sample program. The actual program is preceded by an evaluation week. The evaluation week is comprised of core lifts, and a timed five mile run.

The first phase of training is a hypertrophy phase. The second phase is a strength phase. The third phase is a power phase.

This training plan will repeat three times for a total of 24 weeks of training.

Active Recovery may be any of the following activities:

  • Lap Swimming for no less than 1200 meters

  • Walking for no less than 1.5 miles

  • 30 minutes of stretching

  • Bike riding for no less than 5 miles

Friday’s active recovery should always involve stretching.

Note: Double Day is a doubling of Tuesday’s run distance.
