The Stampede: Built in Boulder

Introducing The Stampede: Built in Boulder

The Boulder-Born Path Back to Strength

For years, I’ve coached top collegiate and professional athletes at the University of Colorado, helping them push boundaries and unlock their full potential.

Now, with The Stampede: Built in Boulder, I’m bringing that same level of expertise—and Boulder grit—to you in a streamlined, no-nonsense program built for former athletes and weekend warriors balancing careers, families, and real life.

This isn’t about living in the gym. It’s about giving CU staff a simple, proven way to feel strong, confident, and athletic—without sacrificing your career, family, or life outside the weight room.

Delivered straight to your phone through the industry-leading BridgeAthletic app, The Stampede: Built in Boulder is a 24-week training system broken into four 6-week phases—each designed to challenge you, keep things fresh, and help you progress.

Train Like a Buffalo, Anywhere

The backbone of the program is a three-day training split:

• Monday → Full-Body Strength
• Wednesday → Upper Body Training
• Friday → Lower Body Focus

For staff who want more, optional Tuesday/Thursday cardio sessions (walks, bike rides, and simple intervals) are built in. They’re repeatable, flexible, and won’t wreck your schedule.

Every workout is designed to be completed in any CU facility—whether that’s the Events Center, Dal Ward, or the Champions Center—using the equipment we already have on campus.

Why Train Using the Bridge App?

Simply put, It's the SINGLE BEST training experience on the market.

Why It Works for CU Staff

• Efficient → Just 3 days per week (plus the optional cardio sessions).
• Accessible → Can be done in any CU weight room.
• Progressive → Four unique phases keep training fresh.
• Flexible → Works whether you’re brand-new to lifting or have years under your belt.

This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about having a plan that works—one you can actually stick to.

The Power of Proven Training, Boulder-Built

With The Stampede, you’ll tap into the same principles and systems I’ve used to build elite CU Buffs athletes—streamlined for your life, your goals, and your schedule.

This program was designed for former athletes and busy high performers who want real results without wasting time on fluff or gimmicks. You’re not just working out; you’re following a proven blueprint to rebuild strength, reignite confidence, and take back your edge.

Why The Stampede Works

At its core is a Full-Body, Upper-Body, & Lower-Body split—a timeless structure that hits every major muscle group with precision while allowing recovery days to keep you fresh. Over eight weeks, you’ll charge through two powerful phases:

• Monday (Full-Body): Big compound lifts that hit everything head-to-toe.

• Wednesday (Upper Body): Presses, pulls, and accessory work to build your chest, back, shoulders, and arms.

• Friday (Lower Body): Squats, hinges, and single-leg work to build powerful legs and resilient hips.

It’s not just efficient—it’s sustainable. You’ll stay balanced, reduce injury risk, and keep seeing results without living in the gym.

Why The Stampede Works

• Video Demonstrations & Cues: Learn every exercise with precision to maximize your results.

Progressive Phases: Strength Meets Consistency

Here’s the secret: progress comes from phases of training that build on one another. That’s why The Stampede is broken into four 6-week blocks—each with its own focus, exercises, and progression.

• Phase 1: Black & Gold Essentials → Learn the movements, build muscle, and get your body moving again.

• Phase 2: Flatirons Framework → Refine technique and increase strength in key lifts.

• Phase 3: Boulder Blueprint → Push heavier weights, expand your capacity, and dial in athletic movement.

• Phase 4: Rocky Mountain Rebuild → Test your strength, reinforce balance, and finish stronger than you started.

Think of it this way: it’s not just a workout routine—it’s a system designed to keep you progressing without plateauing.

Who Is The Stampede For?

Let’s be real—The Stampede isn’t for everyone. It’s built for the weekend warriors, the former athletes, and the high performers balancing careers, family, and real life.

It’s for people who don’t have hours to waste in the gym but still want to train hard, move well, and feel strong again.

Maybe you’ve tried other programs that left you bored, burned out, or plateaued. This isn’t that. This is your reset button—a Boulder-born program that strips away the noise and gives you a clear, proven path to reclaiming your edge.

Cardio That Doesn’t Suck

No boring hamster-wheel cardio here. The Stampede builds in conditioning that works with your training, not against it:

Mountain-inspired uphill walks: Torch calories, boost endurance, recover faster.

Smart, efficient runs: Enough intensity to feel athletic again—without frying your legs before squat day.

This isn’t punishment. This is training like an athlete—smarter, stronger, and more sustainable.

What You’ll Gain (Besides Muscle)

The Stampede isn’t just about looking good in the mirror (though trust me, you will). It’s about:

• Rebuilding strength you thought you lost
• Reclaiming energy and confidence
• Training like an athlete—without burning out
• Carrying that same confidence into every part of life

Oh, and the bragging rights? When someone asks how you got back in shape, you’ll have a story worth telling.
