Hey All,



 



I was just tipped
off about an exciting event, and I can’t wait to share it with you.




Okay, “tipped off”
isn’t exactly the right term…




I was sitting down
to dinner when this guy sorta materialized from behind my sofa. He must have
been a secret agent or something. He knew everything about my fitness training,
what I ate, and even what brand of bathroom tissue I use.



I don’t remember his
face because I spent the entire time staring at his arms. The guy was
absolutely shredded, and I knew it wasn’t all “puff”— he coulda torn my legs
off before I said “pardon me”!




After grabbing me by
the lapel and whispering something about “operational security,” this is what
he told me…



For the next few
days my good friends and tactical fitness “gurus” Scott Sonnon and Ryan Murdock
are giving away their brand new “Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge”
exclusive workout for F.REE.




The entire program
is bodyweight-only and can be completed in about the same amount of space you’d
need to lie down in.



It only takes 20
minutes, but it’s endowed with an intensity and fat melting power most athletes
don’t tap in a full hour of training.



Coolest of all, it
doesn’t just include Mission Impossible style moves. It also focuses on the
energy systems involved in tactical response. Training that burst-recover-burst
with complex movements means you’ll keep thinking and improvising solutions while
everyone else is gasping on the floor in a panicked mental shutdown.




There’s no catch and
no credit card. Just flat out amazing information about what it takes to sculpt
a shredded, functional commando physique that looks great on the beach but is
also serious “go muscle”—not just “show muscle”



Download your
complimentary gift at:

This offer will only
be available for a couple days, so if you want to get your hands on this
information for F.REE, visit the site right now. The link again is:

Grab it and start
training before that commando guy pops up from behind YOUR sofa.



And if he does,
don’t say I didn’t warn ya…



Talk to you soon,



Todd

2009 Year end review

Over all 2009 was a good year for training.. I weigh the same now that i did in Jan. '09 but in smaller clothes. I contribute that to all the double KB stuff that I was doing for most of the year. My two biggest goals of last year were missed. The goals were to one complete ladder with the 40kg L/R and press the 48kg once L/R. Things were looking good around summer. My strength was increasing. Then I did a 5x1,2,3,4 with the 40kg, then the next session, I couldn't press the 20kg with my left arm. I decided to change focus. I started diving more into Scott Sonnon's/RMAX materials. I owned some of his material and switched from Z-Health to Intu-Flow earlier in the year. So I dusted off my home made clubbells an started using them as the main focus of my training about the last quarter of the year. I still use KBs, but as a support roll(I still through around the dbl 32kgs). The last week in November, I was able to press the 40kg L/R again, only once though..

Going into 2010, my focus will be on getting in better cardiovascular condition. I neglected high rep sets of snatches and swings in favor of the doubles. I have posted my wish list and goals on this site. As you can see it is Clubbell and RMAX focused. The hardest part for me is going to the Prasara yoga. I really have a lot of work to do in that area. My KB work will be in the form of hybrid circuits and maybe some integration into my 4x7 cycles on medium and heavy days. The circuit will be in the TacFit format similar to the one i did Wednesday night. As I progres, rounds will be added.

That is all for now... Happy New Year
