Scientific Program Design
The best athletes in the world use long-term, organized and highly individualized training programs to improve their level of play. A favorite training strategy of the world's best coaches and trainers is to vary the specificity, intensity and volume of training in a planned and
thoughtful manner in order to elicit the best training response. This strategy is called periodization. Our approach utilizes the best practices of periodization to deliver training programs and exercises that are optimized for fitness training and sports performance.
The HyperStrike Philosophy
Although motor qualities can be further separated and defined, we have picked five main qualities that best represent real-world fitness. To help our members achieve optimal fitness
for the real-world, our program design focuses on the following five fitness components:
- Strength
- Power
- Endurance
- Agility
- Flexibility
The Training Program
Improved fitness and performance is achieved by moving through a systematic training plan consisting of multiple strength and conditioning phases. Each phase of training includes a set of objectives designed to induce positive adaptations needed to improve the five components of fitness. As the member moves through the progressive, goal-oriented training plan, precise adjustments are made to the strength and conditioning components of the plan that improve the level of personalization for each member. Energy systems and muscle groups are alternated workout-to-workout to provide the greatest training effect.
HyperStrike Phase Descriptions
Peak strength and cardio conditioning are both developed in six phases.
Strength Phases
Each strength phase has specific objectives with the overall outcome being an increase in lean muscle mass, decrease in body fat, an increase in work capacity and improved musculoskeletal fitness.
- General Physical Preparation
Prepare the body for general fitness.
- Hypertrophy
Increase functional muscle size.
- Strength
Increase strength of all major muscle groups.
- Power
Increase the body's ability to generate force quickly
- Muscular Endurance
Develop the body's ability to sustain optimal force production over extended periods of time.
- Recovery/Regeneration
Remove physical and mental fatigue accumulated during the previous training phases
Conditioning "Cardio" Phases
Each cardio phase has specific objectives with the overall outcome being a decrease in body fat, an increase in work capacity and improved cardiorespiratory fitness.
- Aerobic
Increase the efficiency of the body's cardio respiratory system
- Mixed Anaerobic
Increase the body's ability to perform intense work without excessive lactic acid buildup, which leads to early fatigue.
- Aerobic 2
Optimize the efficiency of the body's cardio respiratory system through high volumes of work.
- High energy Anaerobic
Increase the body's ability to perform explosive movements repeatedly.
- Mixed Anaerobic
Increase the body's ability to perform intense work without excessive lactic acid buildup which leads to early fatigue.
- Recovery/Regeneration
Remove physical and mental fatigue accumulated during the previous training phases.
