It’s not easy building one physical quality to a high degree, let alone two.
But what happens when you’re testing not one, not two, but more like three of four physical capacities all in ONE DAY?
Well that my friend is a tough program to write – and exactly why I brought Ryan Patrick back on the show.
Ryan recently competed in APEX, a challenging event where your speed, strength, power and conditioning are all pushed to the limits.
So how do you write THAT program?
Let’s dive in and find out!
Quotable Quotes:
The biggest focus in my program was how to structure this across the week to maximize stimulus and minimize the recovery demands
These skills, these qualities are not nearly as perishable as we thought
What I did to get faster was very basic things just done at a high level
