PhD Program

$59.00

PhD is an advanced program made for athletes who have developed a decent level of strength and also jump well for how strong they are. A couple examples: (1) An athlete who can deep squat 1.5 times body weight and has a relative vertical (approach jump divided by height) of at least 0.42. (2) An athlete who can deep squat 1.9 times body weight and has a relative vertical jump of at least 0.52. Athletes that jump lower should use the Shift Program. There is a graph below to help make the decision between the two.

PhD includes 16 weeks of training broken into two separate phases. The first 10 weeks focus on getting stronger while also utilizing the full spectrum of explosive training. The last 6 weeks are an explosive shift phase designed to maximize athleticism at a given strength level. Using the second phase may or may not be necessary. It is available as a solution for athletes that see a disconnect between strength development and vertical jump height.
The workouts include jump practice, sprinting, plyometrics, and strength training. Warmup, stretching, and therapeutic exercises are also included.
The schedule consists of 2-4 workouts per week and therapeutic exercises that can be done daily if needed. The amount of training allows athletes to spend some time playing their sport as well.
The program is repeatable, so you can use it for as long as you need.
Instructional videos for each exercise are included.
After payment you will get a download link via email.

If you are unsure about using Shift or PhD, use the graph below to make the decision. Height, weight, deep squat max, and maximum approach vertical are required. Plot a point on the graph using relative vertical and relative strength. The side of the line the point falls on shows which program should be used.
