Testimonials

Ross,

My name's Jonathan Murphy from Pennsylvania. I had purchased your book Infinite Intensity. In my opinion, as I am sure it is of many others who have used this book with the proper mindset, desire, and passion, this book is "The Bible of Combat Conditioning." Your knowledge and understanding of the needs of the combat athlete have taken me to heights I never realized and destroyed barriers I had sub-consciously put on myself. Your mind and attitude toward our sport is unparalleled. I recommened your site and products to all those searching for the right way to train, not just physically, but mentally also.

About 3 - 4 months ago I set out on a journey. I had found out at that time about open-tryouts that Frank Shamrock (www.frankshamrock.com) was having for his fight team based out of San Jose, CA. I made my decision then and there to make that team. The tryout was grueling, but every drop of sweat, every pain, every scream of agony was to hear the words "Welcome to Team Shamrock" come out of Frank's mouth

Here I am a month later a proud member of Team Shamrock. My flight leaves Monday for San Jose, CA. God set this pathway before me and I am walking along this path with your book, Infinite Intensity, in hand. Again Ross, thank you for your knowledge and understanding of the needs of a fighter.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Murphy

Ross,

I’ll get right to the point. I loved the Infinite Intensity book. What I love even more is the fact that you really do put all of your energy into creating a complete program. You don’t write a book and then list 10 other books that you need to buy to complete your routines. You shove every last bit of info into one resource. You could have easily divided this book into 3 or more products. But that’s not your style. It is refreshing and unfortunately unusual to meet someone with your passion, experience, and knowledge who honestly puts the customer first, rather than his own pocket.

My only criticism of you is that you don’t do more marketing. People need to read this book. I’ve wasted plenty of paychecks buying worthless crap. This book makes most of my fitness library obsolete.

Great job

Dear Ross,

I can't praise your latest book enough. You have totally taken the guesswork out of training. This is an invaluable reference book & motivating tool.

This is the fourth book I have purchased from you now. Each one is of great value to my training sessions, as they give me new challenges and help me strengthen my weak areas.

Here is a little bit about me...

I have been Boxing & Kickboxing for over 16 years now, in that time, two of those years were spent living, training and competing in Thailand. Also, I have won various titles in Kickboxing which include - British (1995), European (1999) & World (2000) Championship honors, and I have represented Great Britain on numerous occasions overseas.

The reason I have listed my own experience, is not in any way whatsoever to show off, but to get across that I am Not Finished Learning and Improving Yet!

I now own a Boxing/Kickboxing Gymnasium and Shop in the U.K. Over the years I have seen and heard many self proclaimed guru's who like to tell us fighters how to train, however you are one of a small group of elite people, who have been there and practice what you preach, you still push yourself day in and day out!

Your training methods and advice help me and my fighters in our quest to improve. Thank you so much for all your help and support.

Best wishes,

Ross,

I’m a Marine machine gunner deployed to Afghanistan. Physical fitness is obviously an important part of my job and my life. When I’m in the states, I also train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Despite the amount of hiking we do in these mountains with heavy loads, I found that my conditioning had actually decreased considerably. I grappled with another Marine and found myself exhausted in a fraction of the time I was able to before being deployed. While I had been consistent about strength training, I dropped the conditioning training to almost zero. Operations take a lot of energy out of you, and I felt that if anything my conditioning was even better than when I left. The grappling match was a wakeup, and I vowed to not only reestablish my conditioning, but to take it to a level it has never been before.

It was about this time that you released Infinite Intensity. I was thrilled to see that Infinite Intensity put your ideas in a cohesive program for combat athletes while allowing for never ending variety.

When I received it, I was ecstatic. It really presents its ideas in an easy to digest manner. The quality of the product is great, as I’ve come to expect from anything you put out. Since implementing your program, I have been thrilled with the results. My conditioning has rapidly improved and so has my work capacity. I can go harder and longer than ever. Your work is truly what a combat athlete needs. I definitely regard being an infantryman as being a combat athlete. Combine that with the needs of my hobby, Jiu-Jitsu, and the physical demands placed on my body are tremendous. You've given me the tools I need to hone myself to a razor sharp edge and succeed.

Thank You,

Ross,

I’m going to tell you what I told me wife the first day we met 22 years ago. Where have you been all of my life! I’ve got enough fitness books to give Amazon a run for their money. Infinite Intensity is at the top of my list.

I am not trying to kiss your ass but this book really rocks! The research and planning that went behind this book is obvious. It’s about time that someone in this field dedicated their time to training and research, rather than writing ad copy.

Thank you for staying true to the game.

I’ve been lurking the (message) board for a bit and finally decided to shell out for a book. I kept hearing about this new book so I waited it out until last week.

All I can say is hot damn! I've read books from all the big wigs on the net. Ross's Infinite Intensity is a freaking combat bible! I can't believe how much info is crammed into this thing. This is a THICK book. It's well written, nicely formatted, clear pics, loads of research, yadda yadda yadda. The icing on the cake is he's got an entire system outlined. The book is all about putting the pieces together, and there are a lot of friggen pieces.

I just wanted to pay respect to Ross. It's obvious that some serious research went into this book. I'm serious when I say that you can't go wrong with it. You can look all over the web, all through the bookstores and you are not going to find a better book on the subject!

This is a QUALITY work of art, you can tell right away that time, sweat, and hard work went into the making of Infinite Intensity. Personally, I loved the fact that you touched briefly upon material from other books (sandbags, intervals, GPP, finishers, bodyweight, etc.) but added a whole new dimension and increased difficulty (ex. one-arm pull-ups), as well as the building blocks to work up to them. Also, you don't just simply provide pictures and sample workout circuits which leave you on the floor gasping for air, but you explain the HOW and WHY and the REASONING behind it.

This book is for everyone from novice to advanced!

Once again, good job on the book Ross!

Hi Ross:

As you know, I retired from the United States Marshals Service in March 2005, after 25-years service (and 6 years U.S. Army prior to that). Now I have always maintained myself in pretty good physical condition over those years, so physical conditioning is nothing new to me. But my level of physical conditioning has exponentially skyrocketed since I purchased your training manuals (yes, I have 5 of them!), and started implementing the contents therein on a more day to day basis. Being retired I get to spend more time working out than ever before, but the simple truth is that the exercises you promulgate are the primary reason my conditioning level enhances every day. At age 51, I feel I can unequivocally state I am in the some of the very best shape in my entire life. Things I never thought I could do (because of knee surgery and plain old arthritis) in the beginning, like burpees and 400 meter sprints, I can now do in a respectable number (and frequently bearing extra weight). I have also moved away from weight machines and isolated muscle exercises, and have found this to also be a dramatic enhancer of my physical conditioning.

Ross, sometimes the best things a person can say is to relate a proof is in the pudding story. Last week I passed by several of my old offices to see old friends. I received a number of compliments and statements from old work out buddies that essentially were along the lines of "Holy sh!t Rudy! What the hell have you been doing? Steroids?" And I had to spend several hours explaining Warrior Force physical conditioning to a number of these friends.

I really just wanted to publicly thank you for what is essentially the quality of life changing impact your systems have had on my life.

P.S. Your responsiveness to e-mails from people you don't even really know is extraordinary. You spend more time on your Internet clients than many trainers do with their gym clients.
