Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Full Body Strength, Core & Agility, Endurance & Plyometrics, Upper Strength & Core, and Lower Strength & Endurance.

Physique Goal

Dense, armored strength — built for maximum durability, not aesthetics.

Performance Goal

Real strength across every compound lift, plus genuine plyometric power and endurance.

How Progression Works

Barbell lifts use double progression. Jump and sprint work use density progression. Target RIR drops from 3 to 2 across the two phases.

Training Philosophy

How Reiner Braun Trains

Reiner carries the Armored Titan's power — the honest translation is maximum durability: heavy compound strength across every pattern, paired with real plyometric conditioning. Built like armor, not built for show.
