Is Lean Machine V2 for me?Updated a year ago

Lean Machine V2 is an 8-week training plan with the primary focus of accelerating fat loss so you can shed that extra bulk while still helping you build lean muscle.

Following our HTK style of training each session will be split up into 3 sections,  One strength exercise, Accessory work, and Abdominals & Conditioning. This training is split up into 3 phases throughout the twelve weeks so you will be changing things up and can keep your body guessing. The schedule requires 5x 30-40min sessions per week.  

WHO IS THE PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR?

Designed for anyone from beginner to advanced there are always variations to get you through. This plan is specifically great for those serving in the military or police that want to stay mean and lean in the line of duty.

 WHAT DO I DO ONCE I HAVE FINISHED LEAN MACHINE V2?
