You Fence Great in Pools. Then What?

First DE — you feel good. Second DE — your legs are heavy. By the third, you're making mistakes you'd never make fresh. You're losing to fencers you should be beating because your body quits before your brain does.

That's not a mental problem. That's a gas tank problem. This program builds your aerobic base, trains your anaerobic threshold, and develops the muscular endurance that keeps your legs working deep into elimination rounds.

Questions? Answers.

Will this make me slower or bulky?
No. The program is designed to build your aerobic and anaerobic capacity without adding unnecessary size. The strength work uses moderate weight and higher reps to develop muscular endurance — not bulk. You'll feel lighter on your feet, not heavier.
What equipment do I need?
Access to a gym with barbells, dumbbells, machines, a jump rope, and cardio equipment (rower, treadmill, or cycle). An outdoor track or open space works for Day 3 cardio. Pick one cardio mode and stick with it for the full month — duration increases weekly.
What experience level do I need?
Late-stage beginner to intermediate S&C experience. You should be comfortable with compound lifts like squats, bench, and deadlift. Ages 16–45 recommended. Not designed for true beginners.
How does the free trial work?
Full access to the program for 7 days at no cost. After the trial, it's $29.99/month. Cancel anytime — no contract, no cancellation fee.
Can I switch to a different program?
Yes. You can swap between Explosiveness, Endurance, and Hybrid at any time. You can also substitute individual exercises within a program.
