Welcome, dear Adventurer, to a portal of strength, power, and confidence.

A new, shall we say literary, chapter of RPG programming is upon us. On October 31, beta testers will be asked to explore the Dungeon Simulation: A LitRPG inspired workout program.

Interested in programs inspired by TTRPGs? Word on the street is that a brief enrollment will launch sometime in November. Join a community of nerds set out to improve their ability scores together, while completing some side quests and member-exclusive one shots along the way.

Unsure of which path to follow? Review the guidance below.

With four programs to choose from, ranging from true beginner to athletic performance, there is truly a quest for every body. All programs include an “Adventure Prep,” programmed mobility and CNS preparation to warm up specific to that day’s workout.

  1. Roll for Initiative. A 12 week program for true beginners featuring 3 full body workouts a week + 1 low-intensity conditioning day. Equipment: Resistance band to dumbbell progressions.

  2. Roll for Initiative: Return. 12 weeks of strength training for those with lifting experience returning after hiatus, this program follows the same 3 full body + 1 low intensity conditioning calendar as Roll for Initiative. Equipment: Dumbbell or kettlebell with barbell options.

  3. Strength Check. A year long, progressive program that can be completed at home or in the gym, for folks with some lifting familiarity. This program follows a four day full body lifting split plus one extra day of moderate to high intensity conditioning. Equipment: Home Gym Friendly, Full Gym or Dumbbell/Kettlebell swaps

  4. Athletics Check. A year long, progressive program for previous or current athletes, or folks with 12+ months lifting experience. This program features programming power movements such as introductory Olympic lifts or plyometrics, and follows a four day full body split split plus one extra day of moderate to high intensity conditioning. Equipment: Full Gym or Advanced Home Gym Recommended

  • Party members may choose from the following payment options:

    $89USD/month with a three month commitment
    $250USD/3 months of access
    $490USD/6 months of access
    $920USD/annual access

    ALL subscriptions are recurring at sign up and cancellation must be requested by emailing taylor@tayloredforstrength.com after the initial 3-month commitment period. Members pay for access and may complete the programs at their pace.

  • Roll for Initiative: Best for beginners. The program spans 12-weeks, walking you through the basics of lifting while helping you gain strength and confidence in the gym. Easy to complete from the comfort of your home, all you need is some long loop resistance bands and a good attitude. After completion, members may choose to embark on RFI: Return or move forward to Strength Check.

    Roll for Initiative: Return: Following the same storyline as RFI, Return is built for folks returning to lifting after a long hiatus. Spanning 12 weeks, Return reinforces movement patterns through the use of DB or KB movements to prepare party members for Strength Check.

    Strength Check: For the party member who is comfortable in the gym, but wants something fun and challenging. This program spans a full year, progressively building off each phase, though after your initial three month commitment can be cancelled at any time. The first three months can be completed with a solid at home gym set up (dumbbells/kettlebells, long loop resistance bands), but advancing into a full gym over time is recommended.

    Athletics Check: My most advanced programming featuring plyometrics, sprints, and the building blocks to some Olympic lifts. Like Strength Check, this program progressively builds over the course of a year, but after your three month commitment may be cancelled any time. Full gym set up, as well as turf or space to run outside, is recommended.

  • In addition to the themed names of the programs themselves, the programs feature the best of TTRPG elements such as dice rolls to determine member’s reps, sets, or rounds, storytelling and combat sequences, and fantasy class themed phases (example: the strength-focused phase is based off of the Barbarian class).

  • The programs themselves are hosted on the free app TrainHeroic, which features instructions for the movements, reps, tempo, and sets written by Head Coach, Taylor Neal, as well as video demos for every exercise.

  • All programs feature options based on your equipment availability. More specifically:

    Roll for Initiative can be completed at home with minimal equipment (dumbbells, bodyweight, or loop resistance bands).

    Strength Check and Athletics Check may be completed with DB or KB options, however access to a full gym set up including barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, loop resistance bands or cables, and some form of cardiovascular movement (safe space to run outside, jump rope, sled) or ergometer (treadmill, rower, stairclimber, etc) is recommended.

  • Each workout is written with the intention of keeping no one in the gym for longer than 45-60 minutes, however depending on equipment availability in your space workouts may take up to 75. Exercise options are available to help members shorten workouts as needed.

    Each program features 3-4 lifts with an optional standalone conditioning day.
