Base Camp

Training Collective

Programs


FOCUS: Weight Training, Metabolic Conditioning, Plyometrics, Mobility, Injury Prevention

Schedule: Tuesday & Thursday

  • These days are dedicated to the pursuit of absolute strength via progressive overloading and the refinement of the human machine. Utilizing the "Triple Threat" of Kettlebells, Barbells, and Dumbbells. This isn't just about moving weight; it’s about mastering the mechanics of force production to stress the body into a state of resilience.

Schedule: Wednesday (Rotating Focus)

  • Week A: The Aerobic Horizon (Oxygen Capacity): A sustained, steady-state effort designed to build a massive aerobic base. We focus on cardiac output—ensuring you have the "wood" to keep the fire burning for the long haul.

  • Week B: The Anaerobic Forge (High-Intensity): This is high-intensity interval training (HIIT) focused on anaerobic energy systems. We push the body to its absolute threshold to increase power endurance and mental grit under extreme physical stress.

RESULTS: Increased Lean Body Mass, Stronger, Fitter, Explosive, Increased Range of Motion

General Physical Preparedness for BEND!


FOCUS: Full-Spectrum Energy System Development, Calisthenics, Core, Low-Impact

Schedule: Tuesday (Strength/Threshold)

  • THRESHOLD (Strength & Capacity): Working at the edge of your "Red Line." We use heavy dumbbell complexes to fatigue the muscles before returning to the rower to test your mental grit.

Schedule: Wednesday (Endurance & Aerobic)

  • STEADY STATE (Aerobic & Endurance): Long-form training blocks combined with core exercises on the mat to build a heart that never quits.

Schedule: Thursday (Power & Anaerobic)

  • BURST (Power & Anaerobic): Pure force production. Short, high-wattage sprints on the row erg followed by explosive bell work to maximize your fast-twitch potential.

RESULTS: Weight Loss, Overall Body Strength, Increased Cardio Capacity

Keep your fire alive

How strong is your fire?

Here at BCTC we establish the strength of your fire through 8 movement pillars.
This ranking sets us up for success— to witness your progress and share your fire with individuals who’s fire needs saving.
We rise together or not at all.

  • BONE: Focus on dialing in your fundamental mechanics. Repair the cracks in your skeletal frame and eliminate any compensations while building symmetry through full ranges of motion.

  • WOOD: The structure is sound and you focus on fueling your progress in the wood phase. You have increased work capacity and can now focus on maintaing movement integrity during higher metabolic stressors.

  • STONE: This is the pinnacle of your physical pursuits. Explosive all out efforts and heavy lifting are fueled by your mastery of enduring the wood phase. Refinement of the nervous system and breathing establish that your fire is ready for truly any condition you may encounter on the trail or high stakes environment.
