APPLYING DR. MARK GOULSTON

Well, here I am at the FBI Academy. I couldn’t have made it here without your help and support.

I‚’ve followed all your articles,blog and DVD’s‚ and I can’t tell you how inspiring they are.
Thank you so much and take care.

Just wanted to let you know what results I’m seeing since enrolling in BootCamp 6 weeks ago. Since I was in the initial BootCamp all those many years ago I knew what I was getting into and knew that you get out of it what you put into it but I had no idea it would have such a huge impact on my golf game. I play roughly 150 rounds a year and I can honestly say that I have had the two best rounds of the summer since enrolling. Bootcamp is increasing my strength and increasing my flexibility, the two most important things in golf. Thanks for keeping the pressure on us in our workouts, I’m looking forward to a great year!

I am 41 years old and to prepare for my 3rd marathon- Boston, I took a chance and spent less time on training runs and more time at Boot Camp Fitness (BCF).

I stuck to the 40/30/30 Zone diet and did not carbo load before the race. BCF has made me stronger, faster, increased my flexibility and my core is more stable. I ran the marathon 3 days ago and set a personal record by more than 7 minutes-clocking a time of 3:33.53. It was amazing, with each mile I felt better.

I give much credit to Coach Rut and Boot Camp Fitness. I would recommend his program to everyone, no matter what your current level of fitness. Start and you will see improvement and feel so much better.

Thanks Coach Rut for all your coaching and encouragement. You Rock!

I want to say first off that I am a 23 year old trainer in Nashvegas, TN that has been a fan of Crossfit and, more specifically, your affiliate for quite some time now. I have thoroughly enjoyed your Dumbbell Moves DVDs and your blog posts. One day I would love to come out to Kansas City and pick your brain sometime about the origins of your business and the hurdles you have needed to cross to get where you are today. Ideally, I would love to become Crossfit certified but the 1k it costs seems a bit staggering. In short, I just want to say thanks for being a beacon of ingenuity in a field of dufuses and keep up the fabulous work.

You’ve  done for dumbbell’s what Rip did for barbells…That’s a mouthful.

I am a baseball player. This past summer I wanted to gain fifteen pounds before going back to school. I had heard amazing things about Mike Rutherford . Within the first two weeks I gained five pounds and felt a lot stronger.

First, let me tell you that I absolutely love your  e-mails! You rock, my man! I seriously read every one of them top to bottom. I sent it to about 50 people and received several positive comments back. I even send them to my dad.

What a difference Boot Camp has made in my life! The physical changes sure, but my mind has never been so clear.

Just wanted to send my warm thank yous again for your great MEBB program. I’ve been using it in-season for basketball (as a 3-day a week template) and it has done wonders to maintain my strength and my passion for CF and basketball, all the while ensuring I don’t burn out!!! I’ve “refined/personalized” the program somewhat by splitting the lower body segment, alternating each phase between a hip dominant and a quad dominant ME exercise, and then using a posterior chain exercise as an assistance exercise during the quad-dominant ME phases, while using 1-leg quad-dominant assistance exercises during the hip-dominant ME phases. The total body day exercises progress and alternate from Hang split CJ/Hang snatch, Split power CJ/Power snatch, and finally Split CJ/Snatch, always using an assistive posterior-chain exercise. As for the upper body, I’ve chosen to alternate between Dips, Pull-ups, Rows, Chin-ups, Muscle-Ups and Standing Press, with the assistive exercise being the exact antagonist, as much as possible (in my case, upright rows, press, bench press, neutral DB press, shoulder external rotator stuff, and pull-ups.) It’s working great so far. And for added variety and more basketball specific metcons, I’ve calling upon the CF Football’s in-season metcons; again, this is working out wonderfully. Thanks to your insight, principles and the original MEBB program, I’ve been able to continue working out at a high intensity, while ensuring I continue to progress and recover adequately, the latter being even more important as I turn 36 this weekend As a special birthday treat, I’m attending Coach Burgener’s seminar this weekend in Ottawa!!!!
In the hopes of crossing paths one day…
