Where to start and how to move forward. How ETR builds into CHT, what hypertrophy actually means for a hybrid athlete, and how to establish accurate baselines before you begin.
ETR and CHT are not separate programs. They are sequential phases of the same system. What ETR actually builds across 16 cycles, why CHT doesn't start over, and how the handoff between programs is structured.
Hypertrophy in a hybrid program — what it is, when to pursue it, when to stop, and why the new muscle problem (poorly vascularized mass) is the real reason you can't just bulk and then add conditioning. When mass gain helps the test score and when it hurts it.
Starting with bad numbers is worse than starting with no numbers. How to find your real Zone 2 pace, establish accurate ME working maxes, run the mobility screen, and interpret significant imbalances between strength and aerobic capacity before you touch the program.
