Inside, you'll find periodized training templates, energy-system development for striking and grappling, recovery and load-management protocols, and the fight-camp framework Phil uses to peak athletes on fight night.

  • Full training templates for camp, off-season, and taper
  • Combat-specific strength & conditioning progressions
  • Recovery, nutrition, and load-management guidance
  • Foreword by UFC veteran Dustin Poirier
