Strength ProgrammingBodyweight Peak deploys MTI’s “volume” bodyweight strength training. The plan deploys initial assessments, and then bases your follow-on programming on your assessment results. In this way, the plan automatically “scales” to your incoming fitness then continues to push you as your fitness improves.

Bodyweight Peak trains work capacity two ways: (1) Burpees …. The plan deploys and initial and mid-cycle burpee assessment and follow on, intense burpee intervals based on your assessment results; (2) Shuttle Sprint repeats – using 150m and 300m shuttle repeats.
