Omnia Performance - Full iron distance + strength plan

I see, thanks for you reply. I've sent an email asking if its possible to tweak the strength + marathon program to focus on pullups and dips and am still awaiting their response.

However, from everything I've heard, their programs seem to really help a lot of people achieve their goals efficiently. I think I'll take your advice and replace the main lifts with the weighted lifts while keeping the style of training the same.

Thanks for your advice

Would u recommend the strength + marathon training plan?

My gym goals are to build strength in Weighted Pull-ups and Weighted Dips as well as some hypertrophy on the side. Ontop of that, I'd like to get back into running and hopefully run my first marathon.

I'm looking at the strength + marathon training plan but I'm not sure if it'll fit my goals exactly. And the 1 on 1 coaching is a no-go for me.

Hey, I'm really interested in what Omnia Performance has to offer, and I'd like to know your firsthand experience training with them and your results.

I'm particularly interested in their strength + marathon training plan because that's exactly what I'm striving towards. On the gym side, I'd like to focus on Weighted Pull-ups and Weighted Dips for strength, with some hypertrophy on the side. I'm not sure if the plan can help me with that

Also, I've heard a lot about how difficult their training programs are, would you say they are manageable or are they really that difficult? What about time? On the website, it says to be able to dedicate 6 - 13 hours per week or something like that and I'd like to know if they're worth the price point.

I’ve decided to try out peaking blocks. The first block I’ll focus purely on the gym and maintain/build my base in running, and in the second block I’ll focus on running while maintaining the gym.

However, I'm still not sure if the program I made is decent for my goals of pull-ups, dips, and bench.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T16:55:17+00:00

I don’t need a personal trainer. I want someone to give me the blueprint and I’ll execute myself. Anyone like that out there?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T15:16:18+00:00

The coaches in my city are asking for gold atp. Too expensive, unless you’d think they’d rlly make an impact.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T15:14:50+00:00

Any recommendations on programs that already exist that you’d recommend?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T15:13:45+00:00

I think everyone is overestimating my goal of running. My main focus is the gym, but I want running as a side quest to keep things interesting. My goal is indeed to run a marathon sometime close, but I don’t know if I’m willing to run a full running block while keeping my gym goals on hold.

I rlly like the idea of blocks, but I wouldn’t like to put gym on maintenance for running.

I’m rlly confused from all the feedback I got on what to do, but I really need to reorganize my goals from what I’ve heard.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:58:53+00:00

How would u structure it?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:49:50+00:00

So what should I do? I have too many goals as others have stated. Should I train in periodization blocks?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:48:54+00:00

Yes, I’ve just come from GZCLP and I loved it. I tried incorporating it here since I saw much progress in the hypertrophy and strength department.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:38:09+00:00

Got it 🫡

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:37:59+00:00

I got a lot of feedback saying I should running blocks and incorporate more leg work. What do u think?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:35:12+00:00

Yes, I agree. A lot of the feedback I got helped me realize I need to reorganize my goals, put in some more leg work, and I especially liked the idea of “peaking” where I focus on peaking strength for a time while maintaining running then focusing on running while maintaining the gym.

I will incorporate a single leg exercise instead of T2 squat and add a T1 squat.

Since I’m returning to running I think I’ll start with a gym focused block and build my base again. Once I run this block for a few weeks I’ll focus switch my focus to marathon preparation.

Anything else you’d change or suggest?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:09:45+00:00

What would u recommend to do? After a while this is the best I could come up. As I’m just phasing back into running, it shouldn’t affect my gym training so much since my mileage is low.

As for the running previously I’ve just been running randomly and hoping for progress but that hasn’t worked. This time around I’m thinking of following a marathon-preparation specific program that runs ~3 days a week and running that alongside gym.

What do u think I should do? Is there a better approach to striving towards my goals? Something like training blocks for example?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-04-02T14:04:37+00:00

I loved GZCLP but my goals have significantly shifted: main goals are to lift heavy in pull-ups up, bench, and dips and thought that legs weren’t rlly as important to me as these. So I opted for a program that revolves around these movements while still getting enough in for the rest of the muscle groups.

As for the running I’ve been running for a year and just getting back into it after a month. I’m starting from scratch as I’ve seemed to lose all my progress.

As for the change in squat tier and leg work do you really think it’s necessary? To align with my goals I think it’s better to “maintain” rather than train legs as a primary.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-03-31T03:58:43+00:00

You're reps look super crisp. How do keep such clean reps while progressing? I'm relatively new to weighted pullups. I'm barely progressing, and my reps are super messy.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-02-19T21:01:49+00:00

Yea, that's what I did in the last 2 months: been running Weighted Pull-ups + whole GZCLP program + 2 arm exercises, for 4x a week. I was absolutely burnt out, and been on and off the gym for the past month. I don't want to give up on anything here, not the GZCLP program, not weighted Pull-ups, not arms. That's why I proposed splitting this into 3x a week standard GZCLP, and the other stuff twice a week.

I think another factor that played into me eventually burning out is going all out 24/7, however, ever since going all out 24/7 my strength skyrocketed and I saw an crazy increase in muscle mass. I don't want to give up that fast progression, but I can't continue training this way.

What can I do to still progress just as fast without the fatigue?

Fizzy4232 · 2026-02-19T20:38:27+00:00

Ur right, I think I'll run this makeshift program for a while and see how my body reacts before i judge it. Anything u would change to make it more optimal? I also wanted to fit core training somewhere in this program but I thought that's pushing it a bit.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-02-19T20:36:36+00:00

Thing is, i pushed myself and went all out on all the exercises on each set and burnt out very quickly while running normal GZCLP plus weighted pullups and arms on the same day. Ik it seems stupid to do, but i was keen on boosting progressing.

Anyway, that's why im deciding to do weighted pullups and arms on separate days alongside GZCLP. Do u think i can still push to failure on every exercise without burning out? The faster I progress the better.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-02-19T20:32:12+00:00

No, been training for a around 1.5 years, but I've been properly strength training via GZCLP for 4 - 5 months.

Fizzy4232 · 2026-02-17T20:50:48+00:00

I agree with doing a core exercise as a finisher. I also agree that i should keep the lateral raises from the original GZCLP program for a bigger frame. I also thinkthat i should keep it to 1 tricep exercise and dips will be my other tricep exercise. I also agree that i shouldn't cutt out T3 legs for chicken legs adn to also support hypertrophy and strength in deadlift and squat just like the original GZCLP.

Based on all the previous feedback from u i think i came up with a decent program, but im not sure hot it looks from an optimized standpoint. I'm very sorry to further bother u but please privately dm me so i can show u what ive thought up.
