Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Full Body A, Core & Agility, Speed & Sprint, and Full Body B.

Physique Goal

Lean, controlled, and complete — a master's build, not a bodybuilder's.

Performance Goal

Real advanced pushing/pulling strength, genuine agility, and true core control.

How Progression Works

Bodyweight movements use rep progression, then a harder variant in phase two (pike push-up to handstand push-up). Sprint and agility work use density progression.

Training Philosophy

How Dracule Mihawk Trains

Mihawk's mastery is precision under total control — real full-body strength, sharp agility, and rock-solid core stability, not flashy volume. Four focused sessions a week, nothing wasted.
