Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist You are strong or used to be. You take pride in your all-around physical development¿but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for a sport¿ You have been around too long to be fooled by pop fitness "high intensity" fads. The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you. A culmination of five years of research and experimentation, it distills cutting-edge science to a straightforward protocol of only two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups. Q&D delivers. A highly ranked pro boxer sums up its effects: ¿I had even greater speed and explosiveness and I was able to maintain this for the whole match¿ I had gas to sell.¿ A military special operator, on the wrong side of 40, reports: ¿a speed increase in all my powerlifts¿ pain relief in all of my injuries¿ an increase in my endurance while doing combatives¿ increased striking power¿¿ Q&D can be a minimalist¿s stand-alone total training regimen¿or be plugged into any athlete¿s regimen. It takes only 12¿30min, two to three times per week. Additional benefits may include: Increased testosterone Decreased cortisol Improved heart rate variability Reduced body fat Improved soft tissue quality All this without getting "smoked"¿because you need energy to fight, work, play, live.
