Step 3: What Level Of Athlete Are You?
Please note, the bodyweight/ no equipment programs are designed to be a bridge to prepare our athletes for a more serious type of training utilising equipment. This is a short term solution. Please keep this in mind when choosing our no equipment program.
While you can certainly get great results from bodyweight training alone, we know that for the best result athletes must use specialised equipment. 95% of this equipment can be found in any gym facility. We have designed all of our programs with this in mind. That’s why we want to urge our athletes to always try to find a gym that suits them to train out of.
Beginner: 0-1 Years of Training Experience
This is our starter program. But don’t let the name fool you. It will challenge you in ways you’ve never been challenged. We’d suggest that every athlete does this program for a full 12 weeks at least once in their life.
What You Can Expect With The Online Program. Whether Beginner, or Advanced, we’ll have you training like a world class athlete.
If you’re new to the gym or haven’t trained consistently for more than 2 years (i.e. not taken more than 3 months off), please select the beginner program. If you skip steps you risk harming your optimal development & ability to become the best combat athlete you can be.
Intermediate: 1-2 Years of Consistent Training Experience
The next level in our progression. A highly advanced bodyweight program to challenge even the most advanced athletes. Ethos Athletes such as George Kambosos Jr. still employ the techniques taught in this program to this date despite being world champions.
To Move on to this program, we would recommend our athletes complete at least 2 full cycles of the beginner program above. This means at least 32 weeks of beginner programming, along with fight prep & competing.
We recommend our athletes do at least 2 cycles of this program before moving on to the advanced programming.
Our Bodyweight Strength Standards for Combat Athletes
Strength Standards
This program also employs a set of quantifiable strength standards that will help athletes identify how they’re progressing/ what targets they need to reach in order to progress to the next stages of programming.
When you join the program, you will receive a full guide on how to use these standards.
Advanced: 2+ Years of Consistent Training Experience
DO NOT RUSH TO GET HERE. Please ensure you have reached the level of strength standards appropriate for an advanced athlete. If you skip this you will sacrifice your optimal performance in both the short & long term.
This stage will employ complex training methods that require a good base of strength & robustness to properly adapt to. It will tax you, but if your body is ready for it, this is where the real gains happen.
NOTE: Advanced Training is only possible with equipment only. If you select this option you will be taken to a program that requires access to a gym. If you don’t have access to a gym select the intermediate program until you can find a gym near you.
