The profiling system that turns test data into training prescriptions. 48 standardised tests, 4 profiles per year, 6 performance domains.
Every 8 to 12 weeks, athletes complete a standardised test battery. The tests are not random. They are selected to measure the specific capacities developed in the preceding training blocks. Each test week produces a complete athlete profile across six performance domains.
The profile separates strengths from limiters. Strengths go on maintenance volume in the next block — enough to sustain, not enough to interfere. Limiters get development volume — targeted, progressive, and accountable to the next test.
This is the core of the system. Test, identify, prescribe, retest. The profile is not a report card. It is a prescription. Every number in it tells you what to do next.
Every test is linked to the work completed. If development hasn't occurred, we won't make the same mistake twice.
Test weeks are woven into the program at the end of each block pair. They happen naturally — the training builds toward the test, and the test validates the training. Four times per year, you get a complete picture.
The athlete profile measures capacity across six domains. Together they cover every quality a competitive athlete needs. No domain is more important than another — the profile shows you where your gaps are.
Back squat, front squat, overhead squat. Tests absolute and relative strength through the legs. The foundation everything else is built on.
Deadlift, strict pull-ups, bent-over rows. Upper body pulling capacity and posterior chain strength under load.
Snatch, clean and jerk, complexes. Technical proficiency under load and speed. Where strength meets skill.
HSPUs, muscle-ups, toes-to-bar, pistols. Bodyweight control, skill under fatigue, and gymnastic endurance.
Rowing, running, cycling tests. Energy system development across time domains from 10-second power to 5000m endurance.
Classic competition benchmarks and mixed modal tests. How all capacities combine under competition conditions.
This chart shows a sample athlete's profile across all six domains — measured at T1 (baseline in June) and again at T3 (December) after 8 months of structured training. Toggle between test weeks to see the progression. The larger the shape, the more developed the athlete. Where the shape is flat, that is the limiter.
Notice how the T1 profile (gold) shows clear weaknesses in gymnastics (42) and CF-specific capacity (50). By T3 (dark), targeted development has brought every domain above 70 — with the biggest gains exactly where the limiters were identified. That is not random. That is the system working.
The profiling system is not a one-time assessment. It is a continuous feedback loop. Every test week feeds into the next training block. Every training block is validated by the next test week. This is how progress compounds over time.
Complete the standardised battery. Same tests, same conditions, same standards. The data is only useful if it is comparable.
The profile reveals your limiters and strengths across all six domains. No guessing, no bias — the numbers tell the truth.
The next training block targets your limiters with development volume. Strengths go on maintenance. Every session has a reason.
Validate that development occurred. If it did, move forward. If it didn't, adjust the approach. The system self-corrects.
This loop repeats four times per year. After 12 months, you have four complete profiles. After two years, you have eight. The longer you stay in the system, the more precise the prescriptions become.
When the same 48 tests repeat annually, the data tells you exactly where you stand. There is no ambiguity. If you are improving, the numbers confirm it. If something is not working, the numbers expose it — and we adjust.
This is not about judgement. It is about information. Better data leads to better decisions. Better decisions lead to faster progress.
This is what separates structured programming from random workouts. A random workout gives you a stimulus. A structured program gives you a stimulus, measures the response, and adjusts the next stimulus accordingly.
Most athletes train hard. Fewer train with direction. The profiling system ensures that every block of training has a measurable goal — and every test week holds you accountable to it.
