If you want to access the OG spring training program it's at the bottom of the app in the archive section. The original Spring Training Camp had some limitations that we’ve worked to address in Spring Training Camp 2.0. First, it lacked a strong focus on dynamic movement, which is crucial for activities like backcountry hunting and trail running. While the original program built strength and endurance, it didn’t emphasize the athletic, functional movements required for these real-world demands. In 2.0, we’ve incorporated more dynamic exercises that target agility, coordination, and explosiveness. Additionally, the original program didn’t give enough attention to recovery, mobility, and injury prevention, all of which are essential for long-term performance. Spring Training Camp 2.0 now includes shoulder flexibility and core stability work to keep athletes healthy and performing at their best. Another key improvement is the mental engagement aspect—In 2.0, we've introduced varied and creative formats to keep workouts fresh and push athletes mentally as well as physically. Finally, the program updates its use of equipment and training methods, incorporating tools like kettlebells, dumbbells, sandbags, and barbells to match modern fitness trends and optimize performance.
