What Is New in 2025

Each training track, Endure, Strength, Shred, and Hard to Kill, has been fine-tuned to align with a specific fitness goal. Here is a brief overview of the changes.

Endure Track

Designed for athletes looking to build a functional endurance base without sacrificing strength. This cycle incorporates:

• 30-second rep sets for strength work to emphasize muscular endurance.
• Interval-based conditioning with a mix of rowing, running, and longer circuits.
• A balance between endurance and strength for a well-rounded approach.

Strength Track

The Strength Track remains focused on building raw power and strength. This cycle features:

• High-rep sets (12 to 15 reps) to kick off the year with strength endurance.
• Supersets that alternate between upper and lower body accessory work, ensuring balance and variety.
• A consistent conditioning element to maintain cardiovascular fitness.

Shred Track

Shred focuses on functional body composition and muscle definition. Highlights include:

• Short circuits to bookend each workout, adding variety and intensity.
• Workouts designed for aesthetics, with a mix of isolation and compound movements.
• A program structure that supports fat loss and muscle gain.

The Hard to Kill Track: Full-Body Splits and Energy System Balance

The Hard to Kill track is Garage Gym Athlete’s most dynamic offering, built to optimize overall fitness across strength, endurance, and conditioning. This cycle introduces a full-body split routine, balancing efficient strength training with focused energy system development.

Why Full-Body Splits?

Full-body splits are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and effectiveness. Here is why we are adopting this approach:

• Missed days do not derail progress. Every workout targets the whole body, so missing one day still ensures balanced training.
• Mental focus stays high. Instead of exhausting one muscle group, you perform a variety of movements, keeping energy and engagement levels up.
• Increased flexibility. You can reorder exercises to suit your preferences while maintaining the program's integrity.

What to Expect

• Three Full-Body Strength Days: Using the proven Body Geometry method, each session combines squats, presses, pulls, and accessory work for a comprehensive workout.
• Conditioning with Energy System Focus: Conditioning days target specific energy systems:
  • Glycolytic Intervals: High-intensity bursts for anaerobic power.
  • Oxidative Training: Aerobic workouts like zone 2 cardio to build endurance.
  • Threshold Training: Moderate-intensity efforts for stamina and efficiency.
• Increased Workout Flexibility: Exercises are structured for adaptability, so you can complete them in any order without compromising results.

Garage Gym Athlete Workout of the Week

Podcast Transcript

Jerred: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Garage Gym Athlete podcast. Jerred Moon here with Joe Courtney. What's up, Joe?

Joe: Christmas season, man. I love this time.

Jerred: Well, it's technically over because this is published after Christmas. So.

Joe: Look, I can celebrate Christmas how long I want. Decorations are still going to be up. I don't know when I'm going to take my tree down. Probably mid January, mid to late January.

Jerred: You do love decorating for Christmas. Is it the day after Halloween? Is that the threshold for you?

Joe: 100%. November 1st. I was a week late this year because we were out of town and just traveling. But yes, I am a November 1st. I'm looking up online, when do Christmas tree farms open to go get a tree?

Jerred: I'm just whenever Emily tells me it's time to start decorating for Christmas. That's when I start decorating. All right, about this episode, just for anybody who's jumping in. Publishing here right before the start of the year. But the reason we want to do that is today is the day that new cycles start at Garage Gym Athlete.

Jerred: So we want to give a little bit more information on the new cycles. So you're prepared. If you're a current athlete looking to make a change, a switch or whatever, listen to this episode. We're going to dive into it. Talk about the new cycles briefly, kind of each one of the tracks. And then if you are new to Garage Gym Athlete, and you want to be a part of any of this, just go to GarageGymAthlete.com. You can sign up for a free trial. You can jump in right here at the beginning of any new cycle, any new track that we're talking about. And then you can be a part of the training. Before we do that though, we're going to just do some quick personal updates, what our training is looking like. If you really don't care about us at all and you just want to skip through that, there is a fast forward button on your podcast player. You can jump to, hey, what are the new cycles all about? But we're going to start with training. Because I want to update people on a few things. Some things I've been implementing, like strategic accountability for myself. And then also I want to hear about Joe's life. Joe, I'm going to start with that. Throw it to you now, man. How was training? How was life?

Joe: So remember when we did a, I think recovery, maybe it was like emobs, but either way, what was it, the IMOMs or whatever, the immediate onset muscle soreness we came up with?

Jerred: Yeah. We just made it up. Yeah. Immediate onset muscle soreness. Yeah. That's when you like typically lift something really heavy or you do really high volume or you haven't touched a barbell in a while and you get back on the barbell. What causes it for you?

Joe: Squats, barbell.

Jerred: Squats barbell. Yeah.

Joe: Always going to be it. We went on a 10 day trip over Thanksgiving. You know, when we travel, we don't work out. I don't really stress much about it. We walk a ton, like 20, 25,000 steps a day. So we're moving, and surprisingly being in the cold really exhausts you. I think just your body trying to stay warm is just burning tons of calories anyway. So I got back and I did like, I got through like half of a normal lower body workout. I got to my second superset and I like the second set, I reached down to grab a dumbbell and my hamstring like seized, like, oh, that's not good. That's not good. So I did another set and I'm like, you know what, I think I'm just going to switch to the abs after this. And I was sore for like three days afterwards.

Jerred: That kind of happened to me. I talked about getting that leg extension on the freak athlete. I did that. It only happened on the first time that I did it. It was like that immediate onset muscle soreness. It was like I was doing just sets of 10 to 15 over and over again. And by like the fourth or fifth set, I was like, oh yeah, there it is. Like having not done isolation exercises in like forever. Yeah, my muscles enjoyed that, locked me up a little bit.

Joe: Yeah, but this week it went better. I went to base and I actually lifted heavy on the squats. Because I was like, all right, I need to lift heavy. I need to just counteract this. And then I went right to, they got a belt squat on base here. So I went to the belt squat and I was like, let's just pump out some volume. And my legs are sore, but it's like a good kind of sore. So I've already bounced back. So training's been good as far as that regard. And we've started to squeak in extra workouts on the weekends or with the kid. Like I had, my son was home this week. He stayed home twice this week. And both of those days I was able to get workouts in while he was home sick, which normally I would just like chalk it up to, yeah, this is a loss. I'm not going to be able to do this, or maybe something when Liz gets home. But I was actually able to, upper body is typically easy, especially if he wants to play in the basement. But yesterday he was kind of in the basement and all my workout was, I wanted to just get some conditioning. My workout was like, I got on the airdyne and then I would go on the airdyne until he called me out to do something. Like, all right, I got off the airdyne, I chased him around. He's like, all right, now I'm going to get on the rower. And I rowed for like three, four minutes. And then he called for me to do something again. So I got off the row and I was just, for an hour, it was just I get on the airdyne or the rower for like two to four minutes, I go to see or play with him, do whatever he needed. Because he was still doing the basement. Then by like the 40 minute mark, he sort of caught on. So I would get on the rower and then he'd go over to the airdyne, just playing with the buttons and messing with the levers. Then I would get off, I would rest a little bit, I'd get on the bike, and then he'd rush over to the rower and just play on the seat. And we were switching back and forth for the last like 20 minutes. So I got a workout in and kind of got some play into it. So that was kind of a win.

Jerred: You know what you did, right? That was a fartlek.

Joe: Hmm.

Jerred: That's a fartlek.

Joe: Because yeah, like one time I was just like, all right, I'm just going to do this, kind of like a zone two pace, was two minutes. And then he wanted something. I was like, all right, cool. I'm just going to sprint this next 60 seconds. Then I got off, then I chased him on the scooter, and then like waited. And then it was kind of like that later on. And he was like, all right, I want to go for a walk. I was like, all right, I'm just going to do this one last rower set and just sprint on the rower for like two minutes. And that was it. So it was basically fartlek on machines.

Jerred: Yeah, a kid-induced fartlek. So I mean, that's what a fartlek is, it's varying intensity and varying interval length, or undefined interval length, undefined intensity. And the thing I love about the fartlek, just to talk about that big picture in the fitness world, I think it's hilarious because there's a lot of research stating that fartleks work, can be a productive way to train. And it's proof that anything works. It's like, you know, we try to be super structured with set work and rest times just because there's a lot of science backing that as well. But it's like, oh, well, also doing things randomly at given intensities with random rest periods, that also works too. Maybe not as well, but it still works. So doing something is always better than nothing. That's the main thing. So that's awesome. That's a way to get it in, man.

Joe: Years ago, I remember I brought this up before, I got the, there's somebody created like a fartlek program or activity in Garmin. And you set the parameters like, okay, I want this fartlek to be between one and five minutes. And I want the rest.

Jerred: Yeah. I played around with it.

Joe: Five minutes. And you just hit go, but there's no timer. It doesn't tell you when it's going to stop. You just have to go. So you might be thinking I'm running for two minutes and then it goes for five and then your rest might only be one minute. And it really throws you through a loop. I remember doing it once and it was kind of entertaining and brutal, but just like fun at the same time. So if it still exists, I don't know exactly what it's called, but just try and find a fartlek app on Garmin because they just publish people's things that they create, which is pretty cool.

Jerred: You know what's funny about that? You're just talking about the mental side of that, of like not knowing how long it's going to be or how long you're going to rest. Yesterday, just yesterday, I was doing some glycolytic intervals on the rower. And I had my kids in the gym. And they were being kind of distracting when I was setting the workout up. So this is not a fartlek, it was like very, it was like two minutes of work by about four, four and a half minutes of, I think it was four minutes rest. I did, yeah, I did one to two, and so two minutes very hard, four minutes off. But I was setting that all up in the rower. So it was like setting up the intervals where it would have a two minute interval and have the four minutes rest. Because I like to do it structured like that. But I wasn't paying attention when, because they were distracting me, of how many intervals I was setting up. And I was just like, boop, boop, boop, boop. Like, yeah, yeah. What do you need? Yeah. And then I set it all up and then I was going, and then I was like, I don't really remember how many intervals I set.

Joe: Hmm.

Jerred: So after the sixth one, I was like, okay, after this rest period, I'm either going to be done or I'm going to have to go really hard into a glycolytic interval. And that mindset of like, you're either about to be done, you're already tired, right? I'm at the sixth one. I'm like, I'm either going to be done or it's going to be the next one. And it did, it went on. And so it was like two or three times where I'm like, okay, I'm either done or I need to go really hard. Oh, really hard, go. It's like, okay, I'm either done or I need to go really hard. And I really thought it was done, but it was, no, go hard again. So it can really mess with your mind. I think it's good for you though, ultimately.

Joe: Yeah, just have somebody else put them in there for you.

Jerred: Yeah, just program.

Joe: Okay.

Jerred: Training has been good ultimately. I have been doing a combination of different Garage Gym Athlete stuff because after the Hyrox kind of fell off, I don't like to jump into like the end of the Hard to Kill cycle or anything like that. I like to pick those things up at the beginning typically. Or if I am going to jump into one, I like to jump into it in four week increments. Just that, that's my personal preference. And so I've just been doing One Man System, which is our like core, like body weight training program. I've been doing that, but with a vest. And then that's basically two to three of the strength days per week. And then I've been doing energy system training, which is a lot of what we're going to be doing in Hard to Kill coming up in January. Spoiler alert, I've been doing the glycolytic intervals, oxidative intervals, some more aerobic, and then also the alactic creatine phosphate intervals, the super short in duration ones. So that's what I've been doing training wise. And it's been a lot of fun. But another thing that's been going on is, I mentioned, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned on the podcast that I got a dog, right? And I've been walking this dog twice a day and I'm trying to set myself up for 2025. I want to get a lot of steps, but I don't normally just kick things off in January and I'm like, okay, this is the new goal. Let's go. I kind of ramp things up in like November and December and see, hey, what's sustainable, what new habits can I add? What's good. What's bad. I want to get all those lessons learned out of the way, like the last one to two months of the year. So that way, when I start the new year, I hit the ground running. I know what habits I have. But this dog, I got the dog and I got a walking pad for my desk, and between those two things, I've been getting like 20,000 steps a day. Like no problem. Every day, every day. I think I'm on like a, let me look at it on my watch. I'm on a 29 day streak right now. And I've just been hitting these massive amounts of steps. And that's because I wake up early. I walk the dog early. If I have a meeting, which is like frequent, I try to make sure I'm walking on the walking pad during the meeting. And then also I walk her again in the afternoon. And so she's getting two walks, and then there's the workout. That doesn't even include what I'm working out. So I'm getting way more activity. It's a significant increase in like the baseline I've had. I don't know if I'm going to maintain that. I think my goal for the year 2025 is I want to average realistically around 15,000 steps. I don't want to set 20,000 steps as a goal for the whole year as the average, because that'd be really hard to do. But I'm very interested to see how this goes because.

Joe: Um.

Jerred: Something's going to change either body composition wise. Like.

Joe: I think.

Jerred: Nearly the same diet.

Joe: Good.

Jerred: But I massively increase my movement throughout the day. Like something's going to change. I'm either going to get leaner, I'm going to lose some weight, my aerobic capacity is going to get greater, like something's going to change. And that's what I'm most interested to see, because I can kind of take my best guesses, but I really just want to see what happens to me when I implement all these things and then I'm consistent with it for the entire year of 2025. So that's what I'm working on right now. And that's what I've been kind of focused on, is not just the training, but like how can I greatly increase my movement throughout my life? Throughout the year, next year, and throughout my day right now.

Joe: You got the walking pad, as I think that was the last episode, we talked about our gift ideas. And so you gifted yourself an under the desk treadmill.

Jerred: A hundred percent. They had some crazy Black Friday deals for those. And so that's why I pulled the trigger on one. Because I was like, I don't know if I really need this, especially with walking the dog. And so I was like, whatever. But then some of those Black Friday deals on Amazon, just like they had my number. They're like, how about this? We know you've been looking at it. And I was like, damn straight. All right, I'll do it. So anyway, yeah, I got one. It's been good.

Joe: Liz told me if she gives you, is be able to work from home anytime soon or in the future, that we will be getting one of those. And then I also said that, well, as long as we can get a Concept2 bike as well, we can raise the standing desk and put the bike right under it and bike as well.

Jerred: Yeah. I can't do the bike. I don't know why, I tried that before. There's even a company that does that with the ergs. I forgot the name of them, or something like that. It's made perfectly for you to put your laptop on over a Concept2 bike. But anyway, for some reason, maybe if I had a more comfortable seat, I think that's the problem. Like I get so uncomfortable trying to find a spot to work. Even though I'm seated, I wish I could have a more comfortable chair. But walking, same with walking, I can only really walk during meetings. I could walk during a podcast too, but I'm just not right now. Maybe I should be turning this thing on. But anyway, I can't sit down and do focus work, or like, really, I need to be seated for those things I feel like. But if I'm in a meeting, just talking to people and taking notes, that's easy. I can walk all day doing that kind of stuff.

Joe: Yeah. Yeah.

Jerred: Let's jump into the new cycles. You're covering most of them. So maybe we'll end with me talking about kind of my idea, or not the theory, but behind why I'm doing what I'm doing, big picture ideas for what we're doing in the Hard to Kill track this first quarter of the year, this first, you know, three months, this next cycle. I'll talk about that, but let's have you brief the other three tracks real quick. What you got.

Joe: Yeah, so there's not a whole lot to say, but distinguishing them from past cycles, because they still have their majors and minors and like, you know, strength, you're going to be working on strength stuff. It's just more about the specifics that I'm going to sort of note on the themes. So in Endure, most of what changes in Endure are how the strength works. You're always going to be doing that. Endure is sort of our interval or endurance geared toward track, but there's still plenty of strength. You're still going to be doing hard effort intervals, row, running, whatever. You're still going to be doing longer circuits, but the strength is the main thing that changes. And the strength for this one, it's kind of a continuation of what's been happening this current cycle, but it's going to be a lot of 30-second rep sets. So a little bit less of the weight, but you're still going to be doing, kind of, it's in the realm of endurance and strength endurance. So 30-second rep sets on those for the supersets on the strength days is the main focus or change there. In Shred, there's a lot of bookended short circuits that they're not like super intense, maybe 10 to 15 minutes. Some of them are at an easy pace. Some of them have rest baked in. Some of them are for quality at the start of the workout. And then the one at the end of the workout might be sort of like a finisher. And then in between those are a couple of supersets. That's kind of how Shred is structured throughout almost most of the days, at least for the first wave. And pretty much all of these, you'll be able to see all the sampling on our website. And Strength track is, I always, so I've been the mind behind Strength for the last several years, and I always like to start the year with a strength endurance. We're doing larger rep sets, big time larger rep sets. So we're talking like 12, 15 rep sets on the actual strength side. Then the supersets are also going to be fairly high volume, but they're going to sort of swap for whatever you're doing that day. So on the squat day where you're squatting a whole bunch of reps, you're actually going to be doing upper body accessory and then vice versa for a lower body or upper body day. So that's sort of how the theming of what these tracks are going to look like as far as execution and what you can expect on the workouts.

Jerred: Yeah, and I always like to hit on the big picture of all these things. We don't really need to go into the weeds as much. Hard to Kill is where I'm doing more, I don't want to say experimental, but like I'm playing around with things, and that's not as much what we do on those other tracks. Like Endure is for building an endurance base, but more of a functional endurance base. So you're looking to run shorter distances, have the strength training for it. And I say shorter distances, it's not a marathon training program, but I always say you could get away with running a pretty fast half marathon if you're on the Endure track, and feel not broken or beat up, but you're also going to have respectable strength in the process. So if that jives with your goals this year, Endure track is great for you. Strength track, as you kind of hit on, you will vary the types of strength that we're hitting, but the goal of the strength track doesn't change. It's like, we might change methods, but we are still going to be focused on getting stronger. There's always going to be that conditioning element to the strength track to some degree. It's just not going to be excessive. It's not going to be anything crazy compared to like Endure or even Hard to Kill. So that's what you can expect on strength track. And then Shred, functional body composition. So if you want to look a certain way, you're just more into wanting to build some muscle, occasional bicep curls, those kinds of things, a little bit more isolation focus, Shred is where you'd want to be at Garage Gym Athlete. Those are like the three. But our biggest track is the Hard to Kill track. And this is where I'm always trying to implement balance across all domains or all modalities. I'm just always trying to think about different ways I can program it. Mainly because it's fun. It's fun for me. It keeps me engaged. It keeps athletes engaged. And I get to try new things, either from recent research that I've been reading, ideas that I have, but always trying to keep to that concurrent training methodology and mindset. And so that's the theme. That's the core of everything that we do at Garage Gym Athlete. With all that said, I'll kind of jump into what I have been reading, researching, and now implementing here on the Hard to Kill track.

Joe: You know, we're.

Jerred: I've done, I think, two studies, I've talked about it on two separate podcasts, talking about.

Joe: Uh.

Jerred: Full body splits versus, you know, like a split body part. So like.

Joe: Uh.

Jerred: It's becoming more popular. And it's partly because research is starting to back it up. Now, if you're unfamiliar with it, I'll explain it real quick. So if you have a typical training program, most training programs, a lot of ours even will follow like a lower day, an upper day, a push day, a pull day, those kinds of things where we're breaking down either movement patterns or we're breaking down muscle groups. And we're isolating a bit more. So splitting the body parts up, bodybuilders do this a lot. It's also popular in the strength world, but more based on movement pattern as opposed to body part. But then people are always like, well, what about full body routines? And I'm not going to rehash all the research because we did a podcast episode on this a couple, I don't know, maybe two months ago. You can flip back and you'll find a full body split, kind of which one's better, and they're both equally effective is ultimately what the takeaway was for that. And when I saw that, I was like, that's really interesting. And the big reason I liked it so much is not just like, oh, the research says it's just as good as split body. So split body is good. Don't forget that. That's worked, it's tried, it's proven. But what I do like about full body is not just the fact that it's as effective. But there are two other sides to it. One, if you miss a training day, which is very realistic, you say you have three training days. If you miss a day, you still got two full days of full body.

Joe: Uh.

Jerred: That week, which is like what everyone skips. Right? You miss that leg day there, you can't really make it up because if you're in a training program, you could go to that next week and you just have to kind of start over again. So sometimes you're like, ah, whatever, I can't do it. So I like, for the reality of life, if you miss a training session, I like having a full body program. That's the first thing. The second thing is the level of mental focus you can have when you have like one set of squats, as opposed to three or four different variations of the squats and also lunges, right? That becomes mentally taxing over time when you've just done a bunch of heavy squats and you're like, and now I got heavy lunges or whatever. And these are good programs, but sometimes mentally that can be very draining. And so you're like, you know what? All I need to do right now is focus on these three or four sets of squats. And then next I'm doing bench press. And so it keeps you mentally fresh throughout the workout. So those are the reasons I really wanted to implement it, was research and kind of the mentality and the reality of life. That's why I wanted to hit it up. So what I created was Body Geometry. We use this a lot in 2024 and I'm going to continue to use it in 2025. And Body Geometry follows a split body routine. So it's like.

Joe: Okay.

Jerred: Three days a week and it is a split body routine. That is the nature of Body Geometry. But I realized when I was looking at it and programming, I was like, if I just flip Body Geometry sideways and go across instead of down, it can very easily become a full body routine. And so it's basically, and I don't need to get into the weeds of that, but it's like, if you have all three days, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, are split body. And if I were to cut those into thirds and I was like, okay, well, I'm just going to do the first half of Monday, the first half of Tuesday and the first half of Wednesday for the first part of the workout. First third, first third, first third. I have a new full workout, but now it's full body. And I do that across each third of the workout. So you go across and then down. And so anyway, I'm not trying to get too into the weeds with how it was programmed, but I realized like, oh, wow, this is really effective. But I didn't want to just throw that out there. So I've been testing it on and off for the last couple of months. Several workouts I've implemented. This is a lot of the training I was doing for Hyrox in preparation. And then also I've had some friends testing out a couple of workouts too, trying to get feedback, and it's worked out really well. So long explanation, that's what we're doing. Hard to Kill, three days per week strength training that are going to be full body splits following our Body Geometry method, which has already really proven, and we've got a lot of great feedback on. And you're like, okay, what are the other days? The other days are going to be our balance days through hitting the different energy systems, very specific in conditioning, kind of like what I'm doing now. Glycolytic intervals or oxidative. So longer aerobic stuff, fewer glycolytic intervals because you're going to get most of that from the strength training. So a couple of hard sessions per month on the glycolytic side, probably one to two. The rest of it will be aerobic in nature. So either zone two, thinking like building your aerobic base, or threshold level, oxidative, aerobic conditioning, stuff like that. So anyway, that is what Hard to Kill track is going to be this year. And I'll be doing, starting now, like, because this is when it starts, I'll be doing the Hard to Kill track this first cycle. Because I really love the programming, have been experimenting with these things all over the place. And that's what I'm doing. So anyway, that's the Hard to Kill track this year, or this cycle, and I'm really excited about it.

Joe: The mental fatigue is definitely real with some of those. And I know there's times where either I'm tired or I'm not as into it. After I've done my second superset, I'm looking at the third. I'm like, you know, I've kind of done pretty good today already on this lower body split. Maybe I'll just kind of, good, move right into the core. Because I think I feel fine. So plus, like, if you're looking at three different types of movements, then there are three different areas of movement. Then you could probably just think like, well, this is the last I'm going to do today of this. So I can go a little bit harder, a little bit heavier on this set than you would not have gone on the other days that it would have been programmed. So I'm interested to see how that looks. I mean, I can already picture it, like taking part A of day one, part B of day two, and part C of day three, and then just shuffling that way.

Jerred: Yeah. And it'll make a lot of sense once people get in there, but it is a double edged sword because the only thing you can't do then is like, you can't slack off, right? You can't, like when you do have your squat set, you really need to hit it. But like I said, it gives you that ability to be able to do it. So just don't half ass it when you get to that set. But another thing that makes it cool is we're going to put the exercises in order in the app and everything, but you don't have to attack them in that order. Like you're going to be able to do whatever you want. I want people to know that now, just kind of as like a tip. We're not going to throw this in the app as instructions or whatever. We're just going to say, do it how we programmed it. But if you saw something that was like the third superset, and you're like, actually, I want to do that first, it's not going to matter as much because as long as you hit all those parts today, you're getting a full body workout. You can do it in whatever order you want to, which makes it really cool. Because maybe you don't want to start with heavy squats, which is what we would do. I would program no matter what, typically program the hardest thing first, not even from the mental standpoint, but it's the actual execution. It's better for athletes to hit the hardest thing first, because you have more energy to attack them. And it's not going to ruin the rest of the workout. But you can do this in any order that you want. And so if you're like, I don't want to hit the heavy squats, I want to do, maybe there's some ab exercises in there, I just want to start with something light. I want to get moving, get into it. And then okay, now I'll hit the heavy squats. You'll be able to do that too. So incredibly flexible training sessions is another thing that it does. And I just love all that right now. Because it fits with just my mental bandwidth for training and everything else. I think it's just like a really good fit.

Joe: Yeah, that's awesome. And here's to see how the intervals and everything shakes out, and what they're going to look like. I know I always kind of circle back to Hard to Kill when it comes to training, unless I really want to specify something else that I want to do. I'm not sure what I want to focus on next cycle yet. I mean, we're still two weeks off, but yeah.

Jerred: And if you don't know what you want to do, you just want to be in really good shape, definitely hop on the Hard to Kill track. But I think we can round this one out for all of our athletes. We really appreciate all of you. If you have any questions about the new cycles, please let us know. You're able to access the sample programming in the community. We'll also email that out if you're on the email list for anybody interested. But that's really it. If you want to be a part of our training, I already said at the beginning, I'll say here at the end, go to GarageGymAthlete.com. Sign up for a free trial, try any of this out, see what you think, see how you like it. But that's it for this one. Remember, if you don't kill comfort, comfort will kill you.
