Strength Endurance · Capacity
what it is
The second phase of the “Guide Me” track.
First Contact focuses on general physical preparedness. This phase will continue to grow your understanding of our methodology as well as give you a strong base for the phases to come. Each session is complete with demo videos and descriptions.
what you’ll need
The equipment.
For this phase, you’ll need access to free weights, barbells, sandbags or D-balls, kettlebells, boxes, a rig, resistance bands, and a cardio machine or machines.
If you do not have some of the specific equipment needed for a session, modifying the movement for the equipment you do have while keeping the intent of the session is fine. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out.
what’s ahead
Fourteen weeks, forty-eight sessions.
These sessions consist primarily of strength endurance and capacity. You will be given 3 to 4 sessions to do each week.

What six years of it looks like.
I’ve been training with Michael and Erin in some capacity or another since 2020 — through training camps, the Quest for the Hypertrophy, and Endurance.
After years of lifting and martial arts on my own, taking the training methodology seriously has helped me, at nearly 40:
- Regain control of my body, and fight off injury.
- Have people ask me, “Hey. Have you been working out? You’re looking jacked.”
- Have the type of endurance during jiu jitsu rounds to be a serious problem.
- Change my internal self-talk from entirely negative to supportive and encouraging, in a way that years of therapy couldn’t crack.
It’s also fun. Novel. Engaging. You can’t check out — it forces you to pay attention, but it doesn’t leave you unable to train the next day. You find yourself able to do things. You’ll build your capability without a lot of needless suffering.
To be clear: there will be suffering, but it will be productive. You will learn things about yourself, and have no illusions about what you can and cannot realistically do — which is invaluable.
- If you want a taster: Free Fall
- If you’re a bit broken and need to move pain-free again: Groundwork BJJ
- If you want people to comment on how you look: The Quest for the Hypertrophy
- If you want to go far: Endurance
And if you want to meet people who get it — and are prepared to welcome you with open arms if you’re prepared to trust the process — come meet everyone in person at a camp or event.
