Focus & Benefits

  1. Power Development: Explosive moves (clean & press, burpee jumps) build fast-twitch muscle fibers.

  2. Strength Endurance: High-rep complexes under fatigue boost work capacity.

  3. Metabolic Burn: Torches 500-600 calories via compound lifts and Tabata finisher.

  4. Functional Fitness: Mimics real-world lifting/carrying demands.

 

Why It Works:

  • Full-Body Focus: Engages 90% of major muscle groups.

  • Time Efficiency: Density training maximizes effort in minimal time.

  • Adaptability: Scalable for all levels via modifications and optional advanced tier.

 

Pro Tip:

Fuel your Monday: Drink 16 oz of water with a pinch of salt pre-workout for better hydration. Post-session, blend 1 scoop whey protein + ½ cup oats + frozen berries for muscle repair and glycogen replenishment.

Science Hack: Caffeine pre-workout (coffee/matcha) can boost performance by 12%.
