Program Description
Inspired by Bromley’s “Base Strength.” Build that bigass base to support your peaks. Doesn’t suck that bad at first. Then, the suck kicks in and you’ll start second guessing your life choices. Sorry not sorry. Don’t have access to a CDB, heavy slam ball, or log? Sub it out for an alternative variety or accessory. Pay attention instructions on the first exercises to program in incremental weight increases to your main lifts.
