Athletic Hypertrophy

For serious athletes — amateur, semi-pro, or former competitors — who want to build muscle and strength without losing speed, power, or reactive ability.

Athletic Hypertrophy program logo: an athlete silhouette with a lightning-bolt graphic and the words "KA Performance", on a black background, with black padding around it

An 8-week periodized program built on a high-low split: speed and power work alternates with movement-quality days, wave loading drives the main lifts, and structured hypertrophy blocks build size on top. Weekly speed and change-of-direction training plus reactive plyometrics (hurdle jumps, broad jumps, medicine ball work) keep you explosive, not just bigger. Finishes with a testing week for new PRs on lifts, sprints, and jumps. Video demos and coaching notes on every session.

Built for serious athletes who want to add muscle and strength without giving up the speed, power, or reactive ability their sport demands.

Duration

8 weeks · 6 days/week

Equipment

Full gym access (barbell, dumbbells, cable machine), plus an area suited for sprint and change-of-direction work for the plyometric sessions.
