Program Description

The Blue-Collar Strength program is based on the conjugate method with a focus on increasing the bench press and deadlift. While building this program, I incorporated movements that a blue collar worker would face on a daily basis while also increasing maximal strength. “Weak things break”-Louie Simmons
