Push pull 5k
PushPull5K is the hybrid program that bridges the gap between strength and endurance, helping you build muscle, get strong, and run faster while developing a resilient, powerful physique through strategic running and strength workouts Build muscle, get strong & run faster.
-
Build Strength and muscle
Build strength through focused work on the squat (1x/week), bench press (3x/week), and deadlift (1-2xs/week)
-
Build an aerobic engine
We break away from the classic "cardio kills gains" myth that keeps most lifters struggling to walk up a flight of stairs.
You'll build a powerful aerobic engine through strategic running sessions (2-3x/week) while maintaining and building strength.
-
Longevity
PP5K prioritizes longevity. Program hopping kills results, and single-focus programs like powerlifting or marathon training create burnout while improving one quality at the expense of another. PP5K is designed for years of continuous progress without compromise.
