Author’s Note: February’s Program Design is based off of the MEDMA. The goal? Building the athletic engine. I’ve added in high-tension grinds for muscle growth and maintenance, along with Zone 2 cardiovascular exercise for mitochondrial health and fat loss.

We will base our training on double kettlebells with a focus on anti-glycolytic conditioning using variable rep ladders and rest intervals. Our hypertrophy training comes from a modified 5/3/1 approach - I have added volume to accommodate the use of double kettlebells.

I’ve programmed the DBFS, SLDL, DBMP, DBFP, and, DBRR, DBRW with 7/5/3 volume to bolster maximal strength. 7/5/3 requires a diligent focus on high-tension and time under tension. Zone 2 Step Up Training is priority, so make sure to get a ruck or vest!
