🦡 The Badger Protocol

Resistance Training for the Broken

By Mladen Jovanović, PhD

You know how it goes — you take some time off, walk back into the gym feeling like a legend, and two days later you’re hobbling around like you just finished a squat marathon. The spirit’s willing, but the tendons file for early retirement.

That’s where The Badger Protocol comes in.

It’s resistance training for the broken — for lifters, fighters, and coaches trying to make a smart comeback without feeling like roadkill. It rebuilds strength through control: hold, lift, hold. Slow tempo. Honest effort. No fluff. No fake motivation. Just a framework that makes your body remember how to move right again.

Inside, you’ll find 110+ pages of clear programming logic, tables, progression schemes, and ready-to-print templates you can use immediately. You’ll learn how to phase it in as a 4–6 week comeback block, use it as a microdose on busy days, or weave it into your main training as a technical reset.

It’s equal parts manual, toolkit, and kick in the ass — written for real people who’ve been through the grind and still want to train hard… just smarter this time.

So grab a notebook, pour a coffee, open the damn PDF — and start.

The Badger won’t do the work for you, but it’ll make sure you’re ready when you do.
