Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Upper Strength, Lower & Endurance, Agility & Conditioning, and Core & Stability.

Physique Goal

Dense, powerful, and efficient — a captain's build.

Performance Goal

Real strength across every compound pattern, plus genuine agility and conditioning.

How Progression Works

Barbell and weighted bodyweight 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 Yami Sukehiro Trains

Yami is laid-back but genuinely powerful — hard, efficient sessions rather than needless volume. This program keeps that identity honest: real heavy compound strength and conditioning, four focused days instead of a padded week.
