Scot Prohaska is the owner of EKAWA fitness in Huntington Beach, California.

If you're not familiar with So Cal, let's just say that in the beach areas, being fit and athletic is a like religion. And Scot? He's like one of those fired up preachers.

Because of his motivational demeanor and his track record of success, professional athletes from all major sports regularly make the pilgrimage to EKAWA. His current roster includes perennial All-Stars from the NHL, NFL, MLB, CFL, USA Track & Field, Canada Track & Field, USA Bobsled & Skeleton and Division I sports programs.

In this program, called "The Awakening," Scot encourages you to stop sleepwalking through your training programs.

Then he slaps you awake with some training program designs that'll leave you crying for your mommy - tears cascading down your rippled midsection

Hi JB,

Thanks for posting the new program.

Just a suggestion though. The exercises do not have links and some of them sound pretty "exotic" to me!

Would it be possible to incorporate links into the program just like in most of the other programs you posted?

I was almost crying just reading the workouts so I can just imagine what it would feel like to actually do them!

Cheers,

Looks very challenging. Like said above there are some exercises we could do with links to.

DB Bench Combo press
Suicide Push Ups

Not sure how heavy we're supposed to go? I assume increase over the 3wks cool off on 4th?

May give it a go but some clarification would be top!

Thanks

Wow! Another intense looking program, thanks JB. Will probably jump on this after I finish up with BT for men.

Most of the the exercises can be found on youtube by use of that magic little google icon.

Seconded...I'll see if the author can supply some pics. But, in the meantime, google and you tube searches will do wonders for ya!

Well I thought instead of talking about it I would jump straight in.

Just returned from Day 1 of the program and I am sore.

My upper body just had a major shock. Its intense and really difficult to get through with the times.

15 seconds is just not enough, nor is 75 seconds.

Already I'm thinking - how will I get through tomorrows workout!

Good program!!

I thought after Meltdown I was reasonably good at circuits.

Day 2 absolutely killed me. I was shaking at the end of the burpees and that was the 1st exercise.

I only managed 3 sets out of the 4 but I couldnt physically do any more.

WOW

I agree with what's already been said and would also be very thankful for pics of each exercise. Even using YOUTUBE it is very time consuming & definitely several exercises are not there. Small pics would be of tremendous added incentive to those PN clients who might get frustrated by the additional work of searching Youtube for an hour or two prior to starting the program and then give up. As usual though, you have included some very high end/complete workouts here - how so like the work that you and the PN stafff put out. Excellent support for your clients.

This looks similiar to P90X. Anyone familar or have used that program and gotten results from it?

P90X doesn't look this hard, gets amazing results (if you believe the infomercial) and gives you DVDs that spell out everything right in front of you, on video.

so for these workouts i'm assuming a1 a2 a3 a4 are all to be done in a row like a quadset. then repeat for prescribed sets
then b1 b2 b3 b4 is another quad set. and so on?
