Stop Guessing Your Programming: Build a System (For Strength Coaches)
Denis Logan
20+ Years Coaching Elite Athletes
Most Coaches Don’t Have a Programming Problem—They Have a System Problem
You know enough to build great programs.
But when it’s time to design a training week:
You second-guess your decisions
You adjust based on feel, not structure
You react to fatigue instead of planning for it
Not because your programming is wrong…
But because your stress architecture is undefined.
In this 4-hour live workshop, you’ll build the foundation of your program design system:
👉 a complete weekly stress architecture for a real athlete you coach
This is not a lecture.
This is a build session.
You’ll work in real time to:
Define your athlete’s full stress profile (not just training load)
Map their entire training week across all 4 stress layers
Identify where breakdown and overload actually occur
Build a decision-making framework you can use immediately
By the end of the workshop, you won’t just understand programming differently.
👉 You’ll have a system you can apply the next day.
This workshop focuses on one critical layer of program design:
👉 how to structure stress across a training week
It does not attempt to solve everything.
But it will change how you see—and design—every program moving forward.
Workshop agenda
- 1:00PM EDT
01- Reframe the Problem + Build Your Athlete Stress Profile
You’ll define a real athlete across all 4 stress layers—revealing the full stress picture most coaches never see.
- 1:20PM EDT
02 — Apply the 4-Layer System to Real Programming
You’ll move beyond theory and learn how to use structural, processing, output, and pressure demands to guide decisions.
- 2:05PM EDT
03 — Build Your Weekly Stress Map
You’ll construct a complete 7-day stress architecture—identifying stack days, overload patterns, and hidden conflicts.
- 3:10PM EDT
04 — Build Your ASC Decision Filter
You’ll create a clear framework for adjusting training—so your decisions are driven by structure, not intuition.
- 4:00PM EDT
05 — Where Most Programs Break (And Why)
You’ll test your system against real-world scenarios—and see exactly where most coaches lose control of their programming.
- 4:00PM EDT
06 — What a Complete System Actually Requires
You’ll understand what this weekly structure solves—and what’s required to build a full program design system.
- 5:00PM EDT
Workshop Ends
The final close to the workshop and answering of any questions on what's next.
What you’ll learn
