The right time, right place and right path to your strongest self is here...
The Bells Up TV Advanced Series continues with a 12-week program focused on contrast training and conditioning. Advanced Series 3 (2021) was all about heavy lifts and perfecting technique under load. Advanced Series 4 (2021) is all about adding power through blends of heavy and explosive movements.
