Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Two differently-composed Push/Pull/Shoulders days, two differently-composed Lower Strength days, and Endurance & Discipline.

Physique Goal

Dense, obsessive strength — the build of someone who never considers themselves finished.

Performance Goal

Real strength on the compound lifts, a genuine muscle-up, and dependable conditioning capacity.

How Progression Works

Barbell lifts use double progression. Muscle-up debuts in phase two, band-assisted. Target RIR drops from 3 to 2 across the two phases.

Training Philosophy

How Endeavor Trains

Endeavor trains obsessively, relentlessly chasing a standard he set for himself. This program reflects that intensity honestly: heavy compound strength across two focused sessions each week, plus a genuine endurance and discipline day — real effort, not fictional power meditation.
