FAQs
Clients who struggle to get in lifts >60 minutes, struggle to keep up with lifting and running at the same time or are training for a novel or higher mileage running goal should choose PERFORM or RACE if they are 12 weeks out from their goal.
Clients who have 75-90 minutes 3-4x/week to lift, are in a lower running mileage season, have a history of higher-volume lifting training, and/or plan on only pairing the program with general cardio may choose to do BUILD.
Worried you’ll pick the wrong plan? You can switch at any time in the app! Or a coach can help you inside the app to make sure you are in the right spot.

TLM utilizes a mix of classic strength movements, powerlifting barbell compounds, power training, and muscle-building accessories. We program with minimal equipment, so all workouts are friendly to almost any gym space or at-home training. We use a mix of barbell, dumbbell/kettlebell, banded or cable, or bodyweight-based training.
Please note within every TLM workout; you can swap any main compound for a machine or non-barbell variation based on your preference or equipment.
You will see main lifts and movement patterns such as
- Bench
- Squat
- Deadlift
- Overhead press
- Row
Other movement patterns you will see in TLM:
- Split Squats, Lunges, Cossack Squats, Step Up variations, or similar
- Single Arm Shoulder Press, Incline DB Chest Press, Lateral/Front/Rear Shoulder
- Raises, or other Shoulder or Chest Pressing variations
- Single Arm DB Row, Cable or Banded Rows, Lat Pull Downs, Inverted Row Rowing Variations
- RDLs, Nordic Curls, Hamstring Curls, or other Hamstring Accessories Variations
- Pull Ups, Push Ups, Chin Ups, Dips
- Upper and Lower Body Plyometrics
- Fast Bar or Weighted Speed-Strength Movements (Skipping, Hopping, Jumping, Exploding Variations)
- Dumbbell Based Olympic-style or Power Movements like DB Snatch, DB Clean, DB Push Press, DB Jumps
You will ONLY see barbell-based Olympic-style lifting in later blocks of METCON on the optional 4th day, so it is not required. There is no other Olympic lifting in any TLM program.
