Hypertrophy · Recomposition
what it is
A call to metamorphosis.
In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell describes mythology as a process of transformation — an invitation into a new world, challenges to overcome, and the willingness to become one’s true self. The Quest is our take on that journey.
It’s a 12-week program designed to build lean, functional, and usable muscle tissue. With three focused sessions per week, this program is your opportunity to rewrite your story — both physically and mentally.
the focus
Body recomposition through intentional movement.
This program is about building lean muscle while improving movement quality and expanding your end ranges of motion. It’s pump-heavy, rooted in intentional movement, and designed to challenge your concept of failure.
The Quest blends a wide variety of movements and training concepts while staying true to the timeless principles of classic bodybuilding. It will push your limits, rewrite your tolerance for discomfort, and leave you stronger, more capable, and more confident.
what you’ll need
The challenge, and the equipment.
You’ll need access to free weights, barbells, sandbags or D-balls, kettlebells, boxes, a rig, and resistance bands. A cable machine, leg press, or a few old-school bodybuilding tools will enhance the experience but aren’t required.
This isn’t just a workout program — it’s a test of your willingness to change. If you’re ready to step into the unknown and transform both your body and your mindset, this is your call to action.

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 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.
