If you are an MMA fighter, boxer, wrestler, kick boxer, jiu-jitsu practitioner, or martial artist of any kind, this book has everything you need apply proper strength and conditioning to your sport. Available in Paperback or Kindle edition!
Are you strength training the way a fighter should?
Walk into any high level basketball, football, or baseball weight room and you will see athletes training with a specific plan and purpose, to become better athletes for their sport.
Yet, it is still surprisingly common to find combat sport athletes using high volume bodybuilder style bro splits, chasing PRs in a few select exercises with a powerlifting program, or worst of all avoiding resistance training altogether due to fear or ignorance.
This manual provides the tools and principles needed for fighters to maximize the efficiency and efficacy of their training programs, resulting in faster, stronger, more resilient athletes.
With this strength manual you will learn to:
– Program effective and efficient workouts
– Periodize your training for long term success
– Maximize strength, power, and mobility
– Use loading schemes to achieve specific goals
– Peak out at just the right time
– Cut weight properly
– Build elite level conditioning
– Develop neck strength to reduce head trauma
– Eat for performance and health
– Train your mind for competition

“This manual is great because it is concise, action based, and focused specifically for combat sports athletes. It is a distillation of all of Will's formal education, continuing review of technical research on strength, recovery, and athletic performance, and years of empirical coaching experience.
I've had the pleasure to work with will as both an athlete and a fellow coach. Personally I've prepared for Worlds-Level black belt and Open level no-gi jiu jitsu competitions.
Not only have I gotten stronger and minimized injuries under his guidance but I have always felt ready to do my jiu jitsu training with little or no soreness.
As a coach we have worked together to developer professional and amateur fighters, some of whom have never been high level athletes before coming to Will. He has truly transformed their bodies and athleticism.
This manual gives you his methods and clear explanations of them that anyone can follow. Don't get lost in the mountain of information on strength training. Get this manual and create your own base of understanding that will help you reach your maximum potential.
Will's methods have helped me reach a better level of fitness than I have ever had before at 40 years old!”
“The structure of this program allows me to reach peak physiological performance without infringing on the time and energy necessary for skill development.”

"Will Morrill has paid his dues when it comes to physical preparation for combat sports, both as an athlete and a coach.
Refining his process over the years, Will has done a tremendous job of providing a succinct and easy-to-follow template that will help you develop your athletes to compete at the highest level.
As a fellow strength coach, this manual has influenced the way I train my own clientele. As a physical therapist, this is the type of thought process that provides the reassurance needed to trust in my patient's strength coach.
This manual will, without a doubt, improve the way you develop your combat sport athletes."
Plenty of well meaning combat sports athletes and coaches use strength and conditioning programs designed for other sports and constantly feel overworked and fatigued, while others ignore resistance training entirely out of fear or ignorance.
But by using the system outlined in this manual, you can be a part of the rare group that trains intelligently to become the best athlete and fighter you can be.
