BECOME A STRONGER YOU

Leading strength and conditioning coach Alex Benson of Proactive Performance has customized a workout program to help athletes improve their strength. It’s that simple. Our strength bundle will force you to hit new maxes on all major lifts to become a stronger fitter you. Follow this program to see strength gains and improve your 1RMs across Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift.

Important notes from Coach Benson:
"The aim of this program is to increase strength -  the main focus of each session will be the second lift of the day, which will be either Squat, Bench Press or Deadlift. For these lifts you will need to have established your 1 Rep Max for each lift to be able to work out the percentages for each lift as shown in the program. To establish your 1 Rep Max you should work down to a heavy single that can be completed with good technique. You should always use an experienced spotter when completing 1RM lifts.

Another option, which is arguably safer and more effective when spotters aren't available is to lift a weight you know from experience you can perform 5 or so reps with and then go for a max reps set - i.e. lifting the weight as many times as possible to technical failure. Use the weight lifted and reps completed in the following formula below to establish an estimated 1RM:

In week 1 you will complete 5x5 reps at 80% of 1RM; Week 2 5x3 reps at 90%; Week 3 you will work down to a heavy single, with the aim being to beat your previous max. You will then start back at week 1 lifting 80% of your new 1RM.

Remember! Any increase is good - even it is only 1kg, as long as you are progressing be positive! For example if you add 2kg per cycle, you will have added over 30kg per lift in a year - think long term!"

THE PRODUCTS:
100% WHEY PROTEIN EVOLUTION is the purest form of muscle recovery and performance protein powder on the market coming from cows that are grass fed year round thus yielding significantly more naturally occurring branch chain amino acids (BCAA's) per serving than other whey protein products. 100% WHEY PROTEIN EVOLUTION is a non-GMO, non-denatured, non-acid treated, cold pressed whey protein powder that is designed to target type II muscle fibers and improve a person's size, strength and lean body mass gains. 100% WHEY PROTEIN EVOLUTION also has a thermogenic effect on the body through facilitating protein synthesis, meaning your body will burn more calories through the consumption of 100% WHEY PROTEIN EVOLUTION over other fuel substrates such as carbohydrates or lesser absorbing quality proteins.

ICON Nutrition’s ZMA® is a pure grade SNAC labs approved formula. Have you seen a ZMA product on the market without the registered symbol (®)? Be wary; it isn’t the trusted and original formula backed with peer-reviewed clinical research. Don’t be fooled by names like “ZMA Hardcore” either. These just contain extra ingredients that are not backed with credible scientific data and may not work as synergistically well as the patented formula we use. As an evidence-based nutrition company we stick with what the research says. Zinc, magnesium and aspartate (or ZMA) is basically a night time supplement that improves sleep efficiency. ICON Nutrition’s pure grade ZMA® formula helps promote deeper REM sleep cycles. This in turn improves workout recovery times as people who are sleep deprived tend not to recover as efficiently as those that experience good deep REM sleeping patterns. ZMA® is an advanced formula specifically designed to improve a person's recovery between exercise. Scientific data shows that strenuous exercise and stress result in body losses of zinc and magnesium. ZMA® helps replenish these important lost minerals in a single serving.

WHEN TO TAKE EACH SUPPLEMENT: 

 *Do not exceed more than 3 scoops per training session.
