ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Train Like the Winter Soldier
This 9-week program blends intensity with smart design, inspired by how Sebastian Stan trained for the Winter Soldier role. With three progressive phases, it delivers serious results. Whether you're a beginner building a foundation or a seasoned athlete chasing peak performance. The weekly split balances heavy strength work, high-rep hypertrophy, focused arm and core training, and optional cardio finishers to enhance endurance, power, and definition from head to toe.
🛠️ PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Day 1: Lower Body (Heavy)
Kickstart your week with heavy compound movements to build raw strength in your lower body. Focus on squats, deadlifts, and lunges with tempo training to target the quads, hamstrings, and glutes for maximum hypertrophy and power.
Day 2: Upper Body (Heavy)
Strengthen your upper body with foundational lifts like the barbell bench press and military press, combined with pull-ups and rows. This day’s focus on heavier loads and controlled movements promotes muscle growth and upper body strength.
Day 3: Arms, Abs, & Cardio
Focus on arm development and core strength through curls, tricep extensions, and ab rollouts. End the day with steady-state cardio to enhance endurance and promote fat loss.
Day 4: Lower Body (High Rep)
Switch gears with high-rep lower body exercises that focus on muscle endurance and hypertrophy. Perform lighter but higher-volume work with lunges, leg presses, and glute bridges for a deep muscle pump and full leg development.
Day 5: Upper Body (High Rep)
Target the upper body with high-rep training to increase muscular endurance and muscle tone. Compound exercises, including lat pulldowns and incline presses, paired with bodyweight push-ups and dips, challenge the muscles with time under tension.
Day 6: Optional Abs & Cardio
Wrap up your week with optional ab and cardio work to maximize core strength and cardiovascular conditioning. Choose from a variety of exercises, such as hanging knee raises and cable crunches, combined with short, intense cardio intervals to burn fat and improve endurance.
