Whether you’re stepping into BJJ 2-3 times per week or pushing hard under the bar at 5 am, this system delivers a structured approach to fat loss while keeping your numbers strong and your joints healthy.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 60 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.
