This is a tailored version of the Ben’s Blueprint program. The workouts will be the same for the most part, but the volume will be designed for those only with around 60-90 minutes per day to train.
About This Program
This is a tailored version of the Ben’s Blueprint program. The workouts will be the same for the most part, but the volume will be designed for those only with around 60-90 minutes per day to train. If Ben only had 90 minutes each day to train, these are the things he’d choose to do. Use the Essential Framework program to help maintain a balanced life by prioritizing your time inside the gym, so that you can maximize your time away from it.
The Programming
Ben’s Blueprint is a lot of volume; the Essential Framework program will take the most important pieces from each day of Ben’s Blueprint so that you can get the absolute most from your time at the gym. You’ll get a combination of strength, gymnastics, skill work, metcons, conditioning, and partner workouts.
