GYM REQUIREMENTS

Commercial gym or Strongman gym

  • I hurt my back deadlifting last year and struggled with the confidence to lift heavy. Working on the bracing that Mitch wrote about has helped me immensely!


    — Quinn, Nevada

  • I had no idea how many things I could improve before reading through the deadlift instructions. I’m halfway through the program and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface of improving my technique.


    — Vanessa, New Hampshire

  • I loved that I was able to incorporate my suit in the second block of the program! Funny enough, I hit an overhead press PB as well. Thanks Moose.
