Just found this resource and I’m so excited to try out what you’ve listed here!! Is there a way to get the sessions you’ve come up with in the months since this came out?

Kyle Long's avatar

Love it! The initial version as well as a few others are out for free! I do have a small paywall for the others, so paid subscribers get access to all of those 🫡

Great thank you!!!! Just wanted to make sure I could get the retroactive ones! Thanks so much again for this resource! As a girl who is recovering from BAD runners knee, I’m on my hip/knee/ankle strengthening grind

Kyle Long's avatar

It’s the right grind to be on!!

Kyle, this is phenomenal - thanks for offering all of this value upfront!

I typically do leg strength ~3x/week and begin stacking the sessions onto the rail end of those lifts this past week… and I’m loving it! I must have expressed to my wife 3-4 times how much I appreciate the routines. Really feeling the impact.

I’ll be following this for the next few weeks. If anyone is looking for a new and effective protocol, I definitely recommend giving this a shot.

Appreciate you my friend! So glad it’s been a helpful piece to your puzzle

Thanks for sharing this. Sorry for being a bit dim but how often should I do these?

Is it 3 sessions a day? Or 3 sessions per week?

Kyle Long's avatar

Haha hey it’s early (at least where I’m at). You’ll want to hit these 3x a week in a month long cycle. Example: Monday, weds, Friday, repeat. Each month will build upon the previous, so you’ll get strong over this batch, then the next will progress forward

Alex Daniel's avatar

Nice one. I figured it would be something like that but thought I should check!

This is just what I need. Starting in the next hour ;)

Kyle Long's avatar

Haha hey better to ask than end up dying trying to hit it 3x a day 😂🫡 enjoy my friend!

Alex Daniel's avatar

36 minutes. Yeah...I wouldn't want to do the other two right away 😂

Super helpful thank you !!

Hoping to add this to my routine before an alpine summer full of long days and heavy pack carries!

Do you have a recommended amount of time/rest between rounds?

Kyle Long's avatar

A few movements do include some load (like mastadon) while others you have some leeway. If you’re doing this as your only strength work, it won’t hurt to add a little load. If you’re using it as accessory to a primary lifting plan (with more traditional squat/deadlift etc) then you’re good to go with just bodyweight

I'm spending most of my days hiking/skiing/skinning, so this is definitely my only strength work (and only strength work I'm planning to do, for now at least!).

So weights it is!

Kyle Long's avatar

Awesome! Generally this stuff shouldn’t require too much rest to feel generally recovered between sets, but 1-2 minutes should do the trick. Accessory work like this should be part of a long term game so doesn’t need to be done at an extreme intensity

Ryan Arifin's avatar

That makes sense - thanks!

In that case, if it doesn't need to be done at an extreme intensity... should I cut all the weights out? Or choose a weight that feels relatively comfortable for the prescribed # of sets/reps?

I ask because there are some videos (like the mastodon complex or toe raised RDLs) that involve weights.

thanks in advance.

Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I need. I’ve got a fairly full plate training wise with strength training and endurance (and life/parenthood), if I only had 1 session per week to devote to this, would you suggest doing one session per week or something else?

Kyle Long's avatar

Stoked it’s helpful! Lot of people in your shoes which is why I made it.

Two options I’d recommend is:

1) pick the session that has the most varied movements from your current strength set up (meaning if you’re already doing some plyometrics and split squat patterns, avoid a session I made that has those in it)

2) cherry pick movements you never hit from all 3 and kind of mash together your own version of a session. A lot of guys do this, they treat it buffet style and pick 4-6 movements and form them into a session. Order of operations isn’t too critical and you are pretty safe to sample from all 3 to make one single session and it’ll still make you better

Ben Fricker-Muller's avatar

Thanks that’s really helpful!

Kyle Long's avatar

Stoked to hear! Enjoy!

Is V1.S1 meant for 1 day of a workout and then V1.S2 is done a different day, and etc?

Kyle Long's avatar

Yep! V1.S1=version 1, session 1

I will give this a good shot as part of my 100 km strength training. My weak ankles and calf's let me down in my first 100 km attempt so I will fix that! Thanks for such a clear way to build a strong base.

Kyle Long's avatar

Love this! Hope the 100k goes great, always a forever cycle of wins, losses and learning over the big distances!

This is awesome. Look forward to trying it out 👊
