What's in
the program
Not a random workout of the day. A structured system that tells you exactly what to lift, how heavy, and when to push.
02
Video form library
Every lift filmed from three angles with the exact cues our coaches use on the platform. Fix your setup in minutes.
03
Track every set
Log lifts in seconds and watch your one-rep-max climb on a chart that doesn't lie. Progress you can actually see.
04
Recovery built in
Deload weeks, mobility work, and sleep targets scheduled for you so you get stronger without burning out.
05
Coach on call
Message a real strength coach when a lift feels off. Weekly check-ins keep your plan honest and your ego in check.
06
Nutrition targets
Simple protein and calorie guardrails matched to your goal — get lean, stay full, and fuel the lifts that matter.
Twelve weeks,
three phases
Every week has a job. You start by building a base, load through the middle, then peak into the heaviest lifts of your life.
Base — weeks 1–4
Build — weeks 5–9
Peak — weeks 10–12
01–04Base
Groove the patterns
Rebuild clean technique on the squat, press, and deadlift at moderate loads. We set your working maxes and dial in bracing and bar path.
05–07Build
Load the engine
Weights climb week over week while reps stay honest. Accessory work targets the weak links that cap your main lifts.
08–09Build
Push the ceiling
Heavier top sets, tighter rest, and a mid-program deload so your body absorbs the work instead of breaking under it.
10–12Peak
Test your new max
Taper the volume, sharpen your singles, and hit the platform for new personal records. This is the week the work pays off.
Head Coach
Your coach
Meet Mara Villanueva.
Fifteen years under the bar, a national-level record, and a decade coaching everyday lifters from their first pull to their first plate. Mara built HARDSET because most programs treat you like an average — she coaches the person actually lifting.
"Strength isn't luck and it isn't genetics. It's the right stimulus, repeated, at the right time. My whole job is to keep you in that window for twelve weeks straight."

“
I chased a 100kg squat for two years on my own. HARDSET got me there in nine weeks and I wasn't even sore. The progressions just work.
Jomar R.“
First program that treated recovery as part of the plan, not an afterthought. I'm stronger than I was at 25 and I'm 38.
Liza M.“
Having a coach actually read my check-ins changed everything. Small tweaks every week added up to the best numbers of my life.
