Lean Athlete

UNLOCK ATHLETIC POTENTIAL WITH PURE PERFORMANCE TRAINING

WHAT IS LEAN ATHLETE?

Lean Athlete is an effective and constantly varied Strength & Conditioning training program specifically designed to empower an Athletes performance and shred bodyfat. The program is built around your chosen training environment and the equipment you have at your disposal. There are 2 options available:

LEAN ATHLETE GAA

LEAN ATHLETE RUGBY

All programs are structured around one main training session each day. There is the option of adding an extra complimentary session or a specific conditioning block for that day to compliment the main training session. This structure is repeated over the course of the chosen duration of your program. Programs are designed in 6 week blocks.

Every session, every day and every week consist of different exercises and different exercise combinations. This type of exercise rotation prevents Accommodation and increases Muscle Stimulus. Accommodation causes your performance to stagnate or decrease. This occurs when you do the same exercises, exercise combinations and protocols every time you train.

A Lean Athlete program is constantly varied and prevents accommodation.
