In this episode we break down the PRIMEIGHT, our trademarked framework built around squat, front squat, deadlift, overhead press, incline press, bench press, dip and chin-up. We explain why we moved beyond the classic big three, how pressing across four angles covers the full spectrum of shoulder strength, and why the back squat, front squat, and deadlift create a complete lower body base.
Why we moved beyond the big three
We wanted a system that created complete, durable lifters, not just big numbers on a few lifts.
What the PRIMEIGHT covers
How it fits into the KILO system
You’ll hear how the PRIMEIGHT formed the backbone of our original group training programs and led to the 14-day microcycle. We also explain how these movement patterns carry through every level of our programming frameworks.
