This is an exercise program designed on getting your body built while maintaining a foundation of strength, health, and inspiration. It follows a “linear periodized progression” where the intensity increases as the program progresses. Phase I is a base conditioning phase, where postural muscles and slow-twitch fibers are stressed to provide a foundation for joint stability and to potentially maximize results made in the next phase. Phase II and III are hypertrophy phases where the main goal is to increase muscle mass. Phase IV is the power phase to maximize the use of fast-twitch muscle fibers and get the best possible gains out of this program.

I often hear people in the gym wondering why they’re not seeing any results. You may be thinking – I just need to work a bit harder… You’re exercise routine may be absolutely perfect yet something is stopping you from getting the results you deserve – nutrition.
When it comes to the diet – the first thing that comes to mind is calories in vs. calories out – we’ve all heard this at some stage or another. You must burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. While this statement definitely has its scientific merit, it is the types of food we choose that really make the difference.
