22 Intermediate Programs
Wendler-Inspired Strength (5/3/1-Style)
Wendler-inspired 8-week strength block — heavy compounds programmed in a 5/3/1-style loading pattern. Train smart, get strong for life.
Marathon Strength Prep
A 16-week strength block that complements marathon training. Builds the hip stabiliser capacity, posterior-chain endurance, single-leg load tolerance, calf and Achilles resilience, and trunk anti-extension that support injury resilience and trunk/hip control as running fatigue compounds. Designed to fit alongside a running plan, not replace it — two short strength sessions per week, kept at moderate intensity so running stays the priority.
Strong Over 40
Age is just a number. This program is designed for lifters over 40 who want to build strength safely and effectively. Joint-friendly movements, proper warmups, and intelligent programming for long-term success.
PPL (Push Pull Legs)
The classic 6-day Push Pull Legs split. Train each muscle group twice per week with optimal volume distribution. Push day for chest, shoulders, and triceps. Pull day for back and biceps. Leg day for lower body. The gold standard for building muscle.
PHUL
Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower - the 4-day version of PHAT. Two power days focus on heavy compound lifts, two hypertrophy days focus on volume. Perfect balance of strength and size for those with limited time.
Fighter's Physique (Rocky-Inspired)
Train like a classic boxing underdog. This Rocky-inspired program combines old-school bodybuilding with boxing conditioning - high-volume calisthenics, roadwork, and heavy bag sessions. Build the lean, powerful physique of a fighter with gritty determination.
Football Explosive Power
Build the explosive speed, agility, and power needed to dominate on the pitch. This program develops the acceleration, change of direction, and shooting power that separate good players from great ones. Strong legs, a stable core, and injury-resistant joints.
Golf Distance Builder
A 10-week golf-specific power block for players chasing a stronger, faster swing. Train rotational hip speed, vertical force, and full-kinetic-chain coordination across four focused power sessions per week, with a programmed deload and peak-light finish.
Golf Women's Power
A 10-week golf power block for women golfers. Trains rotational hip drive, vertical force, and core stability across three focused power sessions per week, with a programmed deload and peak-light finish.
Golf Power Drive
A comprehensive 12-week golf-specific strength block built to support clubhead speed, rotational power, hip mobility, and swing durability. Built around the kinetic chain — strong legs, explosive hips, powerful core rotation, stable shoulders — and progressed through accumulation, intensification, and power-realization phases with a deload at week 5 and a taper at week 12.
Tennis Serve Power
Build a more powerful serve and explosive court coverage. This program focuses on shoulder stability, rotational power, and the lateral agility needed to dominate on the court. Strengthen the muscles that protect your shoulder and elbow while developing the explosive power for winning shots.
Upper Lower Split
The perfect 4-day split for building strength and muscle. Alternate between upper body and lower body days for optimal recovery. Great for busy professionals who want results without spending every day in the gym.
Classic Push Pull Legs
The gold standard 6-day split for building muscle. Push day targets chest, shoulders, and triceps. Pull day hits back and biceps. Leg day builds your foundation. Each muscle group is trained twice per week for optimal hypertrophy.
Cricket All-Rounder Strength
Comprehensive strength training for cricketers covering all aspects of the game. Build the rotational power for batting and bowling, the shoulder stability for injury-free fast bowling, and the explosive speed for quick singles and fielding. Designed for all formats from T20 to Test cricket.
Bro Split
The classic bodybuilding split - one muscle group per day, maximum volume. Chest Monday, Back Tuesday, Shoulders Wednesday, Legs Thursday, Arms Friday. Time-tested and proven effective for building size.
Upper Lower Power Builder
A perfect 4-day split for those who want results without living in the gym. Alternating upper and lower body days with optimal volume and recovery. Great for building strength and size while maintaining work-life balance.
Trail Running Power
A 10-week strength block for trail and ultra runners. Builds the climbing-power base (single-leg strength, hip extension, posterior chain capacity) and the descent-control chain (eccentric tolerance, ankle proprioception, lateral-chain stability) that support running form on technical terrain and sustained climbs and descents. Two strength sessions per week alongside running — kept at moderate-to-high intensity for the runner with experience under load.
nSuns-Style High-Volume Strength
8-week high-volume strength block inspired by nSuns 5/3/1 LP — heavy main-lift work backed by substantial secondary-lift volume. Built for lifters who want to push training volume hard.
Kettlebell Warrior
Master the kettlebell and build explosive power, endurance, and functional strength. Swings, cleans, snatches, and Turkish get-ups will transform your body and fitness level.

Built for the engine room of the team. Weekly strength block focused on the aerobic-tolerant strength, repeated sprint ability, and durability that midfielders need to dominate possession and press relentlessly.
Texas Method-Style Volume / Recovery / Intensity
Intermediate 8-week strength block inspired by the Texas Method's volume / recovery / intensity weekly cycle. For lifters past the linear-progression stage who need more nuanced periodisation.
