Athletic Forge methodology
So how does training at Athletic Forge work? We have 3 distinct training phases, each lasting 12 weeks.
The 1st phase we call Preparation. During this time we focus on hypertrophy (getting bigger muscles), tendon strength to reduce the risk of injuries and lifting technique.
The 2nd phase is Strength. Here we increase your ability to produce force, using a foundation of Powerlifting and gymnastics training. Expect to add bigger numbers on the barbell and gain more control of your own bodyweight.
The 3rd phase is Athleticism. Here we take all the strength you’ve built and turn it into power. We will focus on Weightlifting, sprinting, plyometrics and more advanced gymnastics skills.
Now for the good news. You don’t have to wait for the preparation phase to start training. You can sign up at any point and jump right into training. This is because simply going through each phase once won’t be nearly enough to build the power you need to excel. I want you to keep repeating these cycles until you’ve maximized your physical potential. Strength training is a very long, very hard process. There’s a reason you see 10 000 people at a marathon and 10 at a Powerlifting competition.
