The Explosive Athlete
“This is the program I use to dominate life on and off the field. Simple targets with maximum effort have always given me the results I wanted. I continue to get faster and stronger with every workout, even after 15 years of training! I’m a footballer with a thirst for life. Follow this there-day-per-week program and stick with me. It’ll be worth it I promise. Simple and effective works every time. Instill the stye of training as a habit and you’ll never look back. - Scott
