Workouts

build strength, power and earth-conquering dominance.
The fittest programming

Your biology, psychology, and physiology require struggle to express their most dominant form. We're here to help you define, prioritize, execute, and dominate that struggle to become The Fittest version of you. Our programming has 3 tiers:

Level 1
Prioritize: You're new (ish) to this. You prioritize consistent execution.

Level 2
Execute: You've built the habits. You're ready to execute at a higher level.

Level 3
Dominate: You're an alpha organism. You model, teach, and preach to improve the lives of your tribe.

"Since our inception, the noble cast of our ancestors was the barbarian class. In the modern world, the noble cast is popularly defined as those with money and/or possessions of commerce. When I shake the manicured hand of a modern man and feel how smooth, soft and limp it is... it reveals a core character attribute. Suffice it to say, if the zombie apocalypse rears its head, I do not want this man in my tribe.

Grip strength is more than just health, longevity and respect... it is an ancestral indicator of true nobility... you can't fake it... you can't buy it... it can only be earned. How we look is an outward expression of what we believe."

Notes and goals
Diamond icon that is red

The program is structured in 12 week intervals. There is no need to start on week 1, we have designed the program so that anyone can jump in at any week. This will keep you up to date. However, if you wish you may check our archives for previous weeks.

Diamond icon that is red

Aim to increase your weight each week. Use the tables to track and ensure you're making progress. There is a download tab at the bottom of each day.

Diamond icon that is red

A-B-C work should be done consecutively as in perform A movement, then move to B, then to C… then repeat if the program specifies multiple sets.

Diamond icon that is red

Any exercise where a percentage is specified should be done with as much weight as possible to complete rep range WITH PERFECT FORM.

Diamond icon that is red

Rest periods are a suggested MINIMUM. Listen to your body, if you need more time, take it.

Diamond icon that is red

Touch and Go (TnG) - No pausing between reps.

Diamond icon that is red

Rest Day – What's that?

Diamond icon that is red

PR – Personal Record. Heaviest weight, highest number of reps, or fastest time attained at completing a specific workout.

Diamond icon that is red

185/125 or 12/9- When you see 2 numbers like this, it is specifying the prescribed weight, calories or distance for males/females. Again, know your body and your limits. If you need to lower the weight, there is no shame in that.

Diamond icon that is red

GHD/GHR– Glute-Hamstring Developer / Glute-Hamstring Raise. If you still don’t know what that is, do a quick Google search. Your posterior chain will thank you.

Diamond icon that is red

Ass to Grass/Ground (ATG) – Literally… if you were squatting outside the blades of grass would softly kiss your cheeks… AKA as low as you can go. 

Diamond icon that is red

AMRAP – As Many Repetitions/Rounds As Possible. Typically in a specified timeframe

Diamond icon that is red

EMOM - Every Minute On The Minute. On a running clock perform the prescribed exercise at 0:00 then rest until 1:00. At 1:00 perform exercise then rest until 2:00 etc. The goal is to complete the prescribed movement within the minute and ideally have time left over to prepare for the next minute.

what is to become of our legacy in a world of less?

The Solution is to recreate our ancestral environment (nourishment, struggle, sleep, sunshine, etc). It’s time we honor our ancestors by putting back in what the modern world left out… to reclaim the fittest (strong, lean and healthy) version of ourselves.
