Train to Perform is about implementing an extraordinary adventure-specific training program that will produce great gains for skiers, snowboarders, mountaineers, climbers and backcountry athletes.
Adventure athletes will benefit from a multi-faceted arsenal of contrasting resistance training techniques, intense neuromuscular stimulation, ballistic plyometric strength training and cardiovascular conditioning, rendering unparalleled improvements in the athlete’s lean muscle mass, endurance, specific muscular strength and athletic excellence.
This enables you to attain performance supremacy by attacking sport-specific movements, positions, speeds and rest intervals without the neuromuscular stagnation and counterproductive actions inherent in traditional training regimens.
Does it sound like this will be very different than how you have trained in the past? Yes it will.
Does it sound like you will develop into a better athlete?
Absolutely.
Does it sound like you will become an extraordinary skier, mountaineer, climber?
You will.
