The problem
TECHNIQUE ONLY GOES SO FAR WHEN YOU'RE GASSED.
You know what to do. But in the third hard round, your grips are gone, your shots slow down, and you can't make your body follow.
More mat time can sharpen technique. The weight room is where you deliberately build the strength and work capacity that support it. Combative Strength gives that work a plan.
- Build pulling and grip strength for hand fights and scrambles
- Train the ability to repeat hard efforts under fatigue
- Follow a progression rather than guessing what to lift
The training plan
THREE PHASES. ONE JOB: MAKE YOUR STRENGTH LAST.
Designed as a progressive 14-week cycle, not a random collection of workouts. Each phase builds on the work before it.
Phase 02
GRINDING THE EDGE
Repeat the effort.
Strength under fatigue, pulling accessories, and conditioning that challenges your ability to go hard again.
Phase 03
RAZOR SHARP
Put it to the test.
Individualized strength based on your assessment, high-intensity efforts, and a retest to measure progress.
Exactly what you're buying
OPEN THE APP. DO THE WORK.
No piecing together workouts from social media. Your training is laid out inside TrainHeroic, the app where you'll access the program and record your sessions.
A realistic commitment: this is five programmed training days per week, intended to run alongside grappling. You'll want access to a regular commercial gym and some experience with barbell lifting. It is serious training, not a five-minute add-on.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Know exactly what you're getting and what the training asks of you.
How many days a week is the program?
Five programmed training days per week across 14 weeks. It's designed to work alongside grappling, but it is a substantial commitment. Session length will vary with the day's work.
What equipment do I need?
Week one uses a barbell and plates, rack, bench, dumbbells or kettlebells, pull-up bar, somewhere for dips, and a rower, air bike, or space for shuttle runs. A typical commercial gym should cover it.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Your lifting experience matters more than belt rank. Week one includes bench press, front squats, hang cleans, and Romanian deadlifts. Familiarity with barbell training is helpful; the Harbinger complex offers Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced loading levels.
Is this the exact program Declan ran?
It's adapted from the same training cycle, not a copy of Declan's personal loads. The app version keeps the Phase 1 complexes and includes testing and retesting so training weights can be tailored to your results.
What happens after I buy?
You create a TrainHeroic account during checkout, then get the program in the app on your phone, tablet, or computer. All 14 weeks are available as soon as payment goes through.
Is there a recurring subscription?
No. This offer is a one-time $49 purchase, plus applicable sales tax. The program remains in your TrainHeroic account.
What if it isn't right for me?
Request a refund within 30 days by emailing coach@atomic-athlete.com. Atomic's stated guarantee is no questions asked.
