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.

about the author

Meet the creator

Coach behind Man of Steel · 300 · Justice League

No one questions the accomplished man. An accomplished man gets there by questioning everything. Michael Blevins arrived at coaching by way of a single question asked of his own body — how much better can this get? The answer took him through Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, hundreds of bike races, a decade of endurance sport, and eventually into the work of building the bodies behind the screen. He founded Heavy Meta and The Space Program to put the method in other people's hands.
