Built to help you unlock elite levels of strength,
endurance & mental fortitude with your own bodyweight
This program is built to help you unlock elite levels of strength, endurance & mental fortitude
with your own bodyweight.
To achieve this, we are focusing on Bodyweight Density training utilizing a high frequency, high
volume routine covering exercises common to the military and taking them to the next level.
High Frequency
We have utilized this approach hitting your full body each session as you can recover much
faster from calisthenics training and we want to get the absolute most out of the 8 weeks of
training. The first weeks you may feel sore and feel overtrained but keep at it and you will be
conditioned to it in no time.
High Volume
The reasoning behind the high volume in this program is to build your muscle density
(Hypertrophy), endurance & mental fortitude. You will surely find times where you’re wanting
to give up but focus on the next few reps only and let your mind slowly become stronger.
TIME vs REPS
You will notice in the program that some exercises are listed as Time (1 minute) and some as
Reps (x 20). The difference between these that you need to remember is;
For Time you are trying to complete as many reps as possible in the time given. If you need to
rest, that’s fine, just keep the timer rolling.
With Reps we want you to complete all of the reps. For example, if it says 1 x 50. You need to
complete all 50 reps, even if you have to take many breaks.

schedule
This is a high frequency program where you will be hitting your total body each day. You can
recover quickly from bodyweight training and we want you making as much progress as
possible over the 8 week period. The training is 5 days a week and we recommend choosing the
following schedule.
schedule
day 1 Bodyweight training (Upper body focus)

warm-up
Every session will begin with a short sharp warm-up to set you up for success. The goal is to
get the blood flowing and build up a light sweat so your muscles are ready for what’s to come.
You will start with 5 minutes of a low intensity aerobic activity (jogging, jump rope, shadow
boxing), then move straight into our HTKMOB routine.
WORKOUT
1.) Knee squeeze x10 secs w/ 10 glute bridges.
Repeat the pair of exercises twice. (Use either a foam roller, yoga block, rugby, Gridiron ball, etc)
2.) Standing full body twist x12
(imagine throwing a hook but with a loose relaxed body.)
3.) Groiner x5 each side
(mountain climber but with feet to the outside)
4.) Groiner thoracic twist x5 each side
These aren’t your average commonly known exercises so we created a full video and
explanation page that can be found at this link. Alternatively head to your ‘members area’
to get access.

Explanations
These 4 exercises / methods aren’t so common so we wanted to make sure you know what they are
and hit them correctly for the best results.
HARDTOKILLFITNESS.CO #HARDTOKILLFITNESS 08
Substitutions
We recommend sticking to the prescribed programming however you may not always have the
ability to perform the exercise how it is. Feel free to use easier alternatives if you need such as
push-ups from kneeling or with your hands raised.
For pull-ups, I recommend either investing in a resistance band to use for assistance or if you have
a horizontal bar available replace pull-ups / chin-ups with Inverted Rows.
Rest Periods
For all exercises, we want you resting between 45-90 seconds. This will depend on your current
fitness levels so unless you’re very advanced, begin the first week with rest periods of 90
seconds between sets and slowly work your way down as you progress through the weeks.
FAQ
What If I have nowhere to do pull-ups?
I recommend picking up a doorway attachment however you can still complete this program while
leaving out the pull-ups.

CONDITIONING part 1
This is a good opportunity to put a podcast on & get some learning in. Work hard but remember
this is a low intensity workout, so you should always aim to maintain an intensity where you can
breathe through your nose the entire session.
