Strength & Conditioning: Vic Verdier, Week 2, Day 1

Vic Verdier’s “Explosiveness Is at the Root of It All” four-week program trains your body to respond effectively when you need it most.

EDITOR’S NOTE: “The Big Bang” workouts are written by Vic Verdier, aka “Man In Black,” who has been a training instructor for over 25 years. He began his coaching career as an officer training French Commandos. Vic holds more than twenty certifications, including MovNat Master Instructor.

I strongly believe that the two most important qualities you can have when it comes to physical attributes are mobility and explosiveness. This four-week program includes movements and drills to improve both areas. It focuses on ten of the thirteen MovNat fundamentals: walking, balancing, running, jumping, crawling, climbing, throwing and catching, lifting, and carrying.

This program is purely empirical, based on real life experience and common sense. Give it a try and see how explosive you are and you become. The training sessions post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

He first taught physical training and other military-related activities as an officer in the French Commandos. He also spend two decades teaching scuba diving at the highest level, becoming one of the deepest explorers on the planet and exploring virgin wrecks and deep caves, thanks to state-of-the art equipment (mixed-gas diving, rebreathers, etc).

He is a MovNat Master Instructor and instructs MovNat certification workshops, MovNat retreats, and MovNat specialty workshops (combatives and aquatics).
