2. Performance Testing

If we can test it, we will program for it and improve it.

The second step in Week 0 is testing the key indicators of your performance. We only test and use the most relevant and effective exercises for each of your pillars. The tests are sequenced methodically to ensure the most accurate and useful results. We perform the tests every 8th week to measure objective improvement and to redirect your training program.

A. Core Stability

We measure core stability with the standard in core exercises: the Front Plank. A strong core is essential for lower back health, which is crucial to keeping a Squat and Deadlift program going and maintaining movement efficiency, and preventing injury in a running program. Besides that, a strong, lean core looks great!

B. Strength

We test your Strength with the three foundational Absolute Strength Exercises: Olympic Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. These are the movements in which the human mechanism can display maximum Force, so they are the most effective for testing and developing Strength. We round out the Strength testing with the standard calisthenic exercise: the Pull-Up.

C. Endurance

We test your cardiovascular endurance capacity with Heart Rate-Running Speed Index and VO2 maximum treadmill tests; these are the key metrics of your Enurance.

D. Explosiveness

We measure how explosive you are with a static squat-jump vs. dip-jump vertical jump comparison test. The results determine your current Explosiveness. The results of your Strength and Explosiveness inform us about your Power Capacity.
