APX EDUCATION
The APX Certification Program (ACP):
This is inclusive and ultimately unique in its very own nature of Performance curriculums. Its proven Performance Systems have worked within non-athletic and athletic environments for the past 12 years. It is the APX goal to educate those who want to push themselves for a better, more acute understanding of how they can improve their abilities to coach his/her athletes in the training paradigm of sport or classroom instruction.
The APX Training System:
This system is not ‘the end all and be all’ to training, rather, an effective pragmatic science-based program that cultivates methodologies of training, regeneration, speed, body dynamics, nutrition and lever-building power mechanisms that have been absorbed throughout Buchkoski's career. Take the best of each type of training method out there, combine it with Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine and insert the absolute Nutrition & Supplementation component for body weight goal. Then, follow the likes of Jim Radcliffe (Oregon Speed/Strength Coach) for Speed Development, Joe Kenn (Carolina Panthers Head STC) for Relative Strength Transition and Charles Poliquin for his Strength Qualities and the understanding of the human body’s energy systems. After applying those protocols and principles for 15+ years, you see what works when you put it into Pro, College, High School and Youth athlete and non-athlete populations. You get APX, which is a marriage of all the training qualities and periodization within a delivery system that represents the pursuit of ‘optimal’ intent.
