What you'll build
Every quality. No trade-offs.
Most training makes you good at one thing. Hard to Kill pairs heavy compound lifts with engine-building conditioning every week, so you stay strong, conditioned, and hard to break.
- 01
Real strength
Heavy compound lifts every week (squat, hinge, press, pull), programmed in waves so the bar keeps moving up without burning you out.
- 02
A deep engine
Conditioning that trains specific energy systems on purpose: steady aerobic work, hard intervals, and mixed-modal efforts that build an engine that does not quit.
- 03
Durability & speed
Speed, power, and skill work most programs quietly skip. Every one of the 13 Training Areas and 13 Movement Streams gets its turn, so no quality gets left behind.
The training week
A real week on Hard to Kill
Four focused sessions a week, rest days built in, and an optional Meet Yourself Saturday challenge. This is an actual week from the app (Wave 2, Week 6), not a marketing mock-up.
- MonStrength opener + speed-strength + intervals
- TueSustain: continuous tempo + power-endurance
- WedRest day
- ThuMain strength: upper, then lower
- FriConditioning engine: glycolytic ladder
- SatMeet Yourself Saturday (optional)
- SunRest day
Sessions land daily in the app. Train them on the days that fit your life. The week flexes around you, not the other way around.
