Our mission and tribe is a work in progress. This is us just getting started. Although we have been working on our craft for almost 2 decades there is still room for growth. Over the 16 years we have been evolving. Our background has included everything from CrossFit to ultra-marathons. We strongly believe in having a well-rounded and capable frame. What would it benefit an outdoor athlete if they could deadlift a truck, but hiking 10 miles in mountainous terrain was not feasible. The same could be said about the inverse, able to run long but not able to capable of moderate strength relative to frame. Our answer is a blend of both disciplines. So be well rounded, be harder to kill, and overcome limitations. We have been doing our own programming for a while. This is not to take away from the brilliant minds and information available out there. This is simply what works for us. Take it with a grain of salt. Work up to things if you are not at that level. Total fitness is a game of constant dedication and commitment in all aspects. Many of our workouts incorporate push/pull variations. Working both movements in our opinion helps balance the body on all fronts. We believe we should build our bodies like you build a sturdy structure, from the ground up. Most training sessions begin with mobility which resembles some yoga flows. The body is a machine, and it needs to operate at the highest capacity. Mobility is huge. Get ahead now.

Notes: Break each total rep count into sets that you desire. This is an example of how our workouts are structured. We dial up and down mileage based on distance training for. If mileage gets higher, strength volume naturally falls but it is still maintained.
Total reps are listed. Break them into manageable sets. Working strength and endurance can be challenging. We have worked up to this over time. A lot of our exercises are repetitive. Over time we are built, not in weeks or months, but years.
