Another Personal Record at Boston

I watched your DUMBBELL MOVES I DVD-very nice, I did some of the stuff this morning, felt great, I mixed in with my XLR8R and got up to 148 mph, which is where I need to be on a Driver/ball.

During the last 7 months at Bootcamp Fitness/CrossFit Kansas City I have lost 45 lbs. and achieved a level of strength and endurance that I thought I would never see again.

Hi Coach,

Thank you for the suggestions. I took your advice and added a longer CF WOD on Tuesdays, still taking Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for active rest. I have also sharpened my focus on cleaner Paleo eating. With these adjustments, things have been going well. The biggest surprise came this week. I am taking a week to do CF before I leave for a two week cycling vacation and hit a PR on the 5k, which I rowed. My time was more than 1 minute better than my previous PR set when I was doing only CF. This PR comes after 6 weeks of MEBB programming. Needless to say, I will be back on MEBB plus CF on Tuesdays when I get back from vacation.

As expected the Advanced Template is super helpful, thanks for putting it together.  We met briefly around Christmas when my wife and I were in town from Orange County,CA and dropped in your gym.  We had a great workout and I now have a reason to look forward to visiting my mother in law.  I really appreciate all the information you put out, it has definitely made me a better and smarter coach.

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 purchased all your DVD’s and workout templates last year and all what I can say is – thanks, it is the best template/program so far for me. I was able to improve in all my lifts and my conditioning went up as well. But the best thing for me was that I also got enough rest to recover from the lifts  and even got got healthier joints.

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how impressed I am with my body’s response to your workouts. I mowed the yard last after I rowed and I was pushing the mower differently, using the muscles at the bottom of my butt that I am sure that I should have been using all of these years.

I inquired about 6 months ago when i began training full time and opened my gym. Knowing first hand that the infamous crossfit.com miracle workout lacks a real strength component I was lead to the MEBB, I’ve been meaning to email back in and let you know that we are achieving amazing numbers as a result of implementing your training. I could spend weeks compiling a paper of the amazing gains that my athletes have attained but I’m sure you are aware. If there is anything I can do to help promote the practical and effective benefits of MEBB let me know. As we approach the downfall of quality in training by CF I sincerely thank the coaches that contribute to the world of strength and conditioning, and continue to question why folks spend 50 dollars on t shirts and avoid strength training.

In Feb ’09, I committed myself to Coach Rut’s Bootcamp Fitness/CrossFit Kansas City. Nine months later, at age 41, I can tell you that I am physically, mentally and athletically stronger then I have ever been.

My tennis game has vastly improved as well as my running endurance, all due to the increased strength. Everyday, a new workout is presented that pushes me beyond a level I would not normally push myself.

Through BCF, I am given a daily opportunity to eliminate any self doubt and to prove to myself both physically and mentally strong. As a result, my body has changed in ways that I am once again recognized as an athlete – an identity that I have sought to reclaim for many years. I have BCF to thank for this reawakening!

I just completed week 10 of MEBB. Since my first day of MEBB on October 21st, I have PR’d my Bench Press (226.5#), my Power Snatch (144#), and my today I PR’d my shoulder press at 149.5#. I have also improved my squat to 281.5#. Only 13.5# away from my all time PR. Thank you for the MEBB program. It’s amazing.
