Squeeze weakness out of your muscles

This brings me to the 3rd benefit of our strength training program: Endurance (Mental and Physical)

You should never be complacent in this area. You can always do more and take more, always demand more out of yourself.

Your body is capable of wonderful things such as adaptability. The more stress or work you put your body through the more it will adapt and produce the desired results.

In Station Training this is at the center core of what we do.

Once you've completed your first 4 week initiation where you have 30-second breaks between each 1 minute exercise, you move on to: no rests between your stations.

You are put to the test for 10 to 20 minutes non-stop, giving your maximum intensity at each exercise, while always going to your own pace. It builds very strong individuals. The kind that will not give up.

When you're strength training this way, it doesn't take long to realize there's more to station training than push-ups and sit-ups.

It can be summed up in one Word: Toughness.

You must dig deep within yourself and find strength. Expanding your threshold for pain.

At first you either break or survive and move to the next exercise where the same thing starts over again. This is done with every muscle in your body. Any weaknesses in your muscles are quickly being squeezed out of them like you would water from a towel.

This is where you have to pay attention to what you feel. When you no longer feel like "breaking" you must either:

a) increase number of stations
b) increase number of reps
c) step up to an intermediate or advanced level
d) or increase station time.

I've seen people plateau because they failed to recognize their breaking points.

Let us put you to the test. Try our strength training system for 30 days and let us know how stronger and tougher you've become.

You can get it here.

Master yourself,
