Phase 1 – Foundation, 3-6 weeks
Phase 2 – Strength, 3-6 weeks
Phase 3 – Performance, 3-4 weeks
Recovery Week – to be done when needed
Phase 1 is basically core and balance to build a solid foundation. You’ll be building on this for the next two phases, improving your balance for that feared 4 ball pushup later on in the program.
Phase 2 will focus on strength and will incorporate the Shoulders & Arms and Chest, Back, & Balance workouts.
Phase 3 will focus on increasing your performance. This is when P.A.P. (Post Activation Potentiation) comes into play – PAP Upper, and PAP Lower. It basically consists of doing a weighted exercise immediately followed by an explosive exercise
