The original program underemphasized recovery, mobility, and injury prevention. Version 2.0 includes shoulder flexibility and core stability work for sustained performance.
Version 2.0 introduces varied, creative workout formats to enhance mental engagement and motivation.
Updated equipment use (kettlebells, dumbbells, sandbags, barbells) aligns with modern fitness trends for optimized performance.
