Description
This 7 Week, 5 day/week training program is built around use of a single kettlebell or dumbbell.This is a multi-modal training plan which concurrently trains strength, multi-modal work capacity, endurance and chassis integrity (functional core).
This is the first version of this training plan, built April 2020.
Strength Work
This training plan deploys multiple 1-Arm upper body, lower body and total body exercise where with 1 arm, you’ll be holding your single kettlebell or dumbbell. To “scale” the strength programming to the individual and the size of your kettlebell or dumbbell, this training plan deploys short work intervals, which begin at 20 second Max Rep efforts and extend to 30 second Max Rep efforts.
Work Capacity
This training plan deploys single mode and multi-mode work capacity efforts ranging from 9 minutes to 20 minutes in duration. The single mode effort will be either kettlebell/dumbbell 1-Arm Swings or 1-Arm Snatches (athlete’s choice). The multi-modal efforts deploy 1-2 kettlebell/dumbbell exercises plus a shuttle sprint or a 200m run.
Endurance Work
This training program deploys a 2-mile run assessment and follow-on 800m intervals to improve your speed over ground. On Fridays, you’ll complete a 4-6 mile easy-paced run.
Chassis Integrity
Chassis Integrity is MTI’s proprietary functional core strength and strength endurance theory. You’ll complete a 3-exercise Chassis Integrity circuit 1 day/week during this plan.
