Imagine having the functional strength and muscular physique of your dreams. With our Flex programming, you can make it a reality.
From deadlifts and squats to presses and more, our workouts cover it all. Plus, each day includes a bodybuilding component that will help you get pumped and make real gains. Plus, if you want even more, our optional mixed conditioning will keep your engine running at peak performance.
FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH
Part A of each FLEX workout will consist of Functional Strength elements. At Blended, our definition of functional strength encompasses the movements and positions that have the most carry over outside the walls of the gym. The most common motor patterns include: squat, lunge, push, pull, press, hinge, and various holds. The Functional Strength element of FLEX will test athletes against these patterns with a variety of looks: traditional lifting, tempo, volume, heavy, complimentary supersets, and interfering supersets. Each Functional Strength part will include a RPE description based on the scale outlined below. The majority of time in the Functional Strength part, athletes will be getting a strong dose of time under tension.
BODY BUILDING
Part B of each FLEX workout will consist of Bodybuilding elements. Overall, across the entire FLEX program athletes will get a full-body impact from the workouts. Many days, the assignment for Part B will be a “full-body” type of look and feel. This means that athletes will be hitting exercises regularly that train each major muscle group. Other days, Part B might be more focused and isolated; however, when taken as a whole the program will elicit a full-body effect. We like this approach because it keeps training fun and fresh, doesn’t over stress singular muscle groups daily, allows for a complete week of training no matter if you hit 3, 4, or 5 days, and is proved to be effective through the approach we perfected in our GPP programming.
OPTIONAL MIXED CONDITIONING
Occasionally, we will introduce a Part C. Optional Mixed Conditioning into the mix of FLEX. As the name hints, this will be conditioning based and completely optional – athlete’s can choose to complete these or not! Conditioning elements will mix different modes, time domains and intensities.
