    I have recently been repeating TROY from Cavemantraining, and it’s nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, it delivers benefits that leave you feeling stronger, fitter, and energized.

    TROY stands out for its simple but well crafted routine that targets many muscle groups. The combination of cleans, squats, and presses not only builds strength but also enhances cardio endurance. Each exercise is thoughtfully explained, making it easy to follow along and maintain proper form, even if, like me, you’re new to KB training.

      What impressed me the most is the workout’s adaptability. As with most of their other workouts, and whether you’re a beginner or an experienced KB enthusiast, TROY offers warmup, alternatives, progressions, etc… that ensure you’re always challenged without feeling overwhelmed. The pacing is perfect, allowing you to build up intensity as your confidence and skills grow. Thank you, Mr. Fleur.
