The Strength Success System

A intermediate level 4-week group workshop:

Are you lifting weights or take classes but you still look the same? You’re not alone. This means you are not following one or more of the principals of strength training. After this workshop, you will understand the non-negotiable elements of effective strength training, from training frequency and load selection, the key principles of progressive overload and what neuromuscular focus can do for you. You’ll learn to design a simple, efficient strength program using compound exercises. You will explore techniques to enhance the mind-muscle connection and understand your hidden psychological and social barriers that may be undermining your strength progress.
