The Burgener Difference

Burgener Strength has spent decades developing better lifters through better coaching. This program reflects that same approach — focused on positions, consistency, and progress that holds up over time. It’s not about chasing intensity or constantly changing things up. It’s about doing the right work, the right way, week after week.

How to Use It

Follow as Written

Train 4 days per week and follow the structure as closely as possible for best results.

Adjust When Needed

Scale loads, volume, or movements based on your experience and recovery.

Stay Consistent

Progress comes from showing up and executing a single program well over time.

This program reflects how we coach on the floor at Burgener Strength — emphasizing quality movement, strong positions, and progress that builds over time.

ProgRamming

All programming is built around sound progressions, quality movement, and decades of coaching experience.​
