"I have been a police officer for almost 14 years, and have served as a SWAT Team member, Firearms instructor, and Defensive Tactics Instructor.  In my off- duty time I am a MMA/Ju Jitsu competitor.   

Mark’s workouts are unlike anything that I have ever done before, and have helped me in my profession and also on the mats in competition. I have been lifting weights for over 20 years and have made more progress since doing Mark’s workouts than in most other years of lifting combined. 

His exercises and programs are designed to make the body work as a unit, and as a result, my body is stronger and much more functional, and my martial arts abilities have vastly improved

Thanks Mark!"

For those interested in a personalized training/diet program I offer the following:

A customized, 12-16-week, 4-part, periodized workout plan, based on your goals/input, given at 3-4-week intervals, and modified according to your feedback.

Typically (for first-time clients) I structure training programs into a linear, 4-phase program, something like the following.

Phase-1 Anatomical Adaptation: Focus on strengthening the joints, and connective tissues.  Special emphasis on core training, important for reduction of back pain.

Phase-2 General Adaptation: Work on general strength and conditioning as well as balance and coordination.

Phase-3 Hypertrophy/Maximal Strength: Increase size and number of contractile proteins in the muscle fibers.

Phase-4 Maximal Strength/Explosive Power: Improve inter- and intramuscular coordination by increasing neuromuscular efficiency and the harmonious synchronization of different muscle groups.

Testimonials:

"As a professional security consultant/Close Protection Officer, and keen submission wrestler I recognize the need to be in top shape. It makes one feel more alert and ready to deal with any situation that may arise.

I first came across Mark's work in Full Contact Fighter and his articles always made a lot of sense. As a result I decided to take the distance consultation program.

Smart move on my part! In 12 short weeks I have lifted 30 kg (66 lbs.) heavier in my deadlift than ever before (without belt or straps) and my physique and fitness on the mat are at an all time high.

I have signed up for a continuation on this program and know with Mark's knowledge (and a bit of effort on my part) I will carry on improving.

Thanks coach!!"

Distance Programs:

Be stronger, faster, and better conditioned than ever!

The above is hypothetical (non-linear and alternating plans available).  After obtaining your data (via questionnaire): weight, bodyfat percentage, training, goals, dietary habits, etc., (the more detail the better; photos helpful), I'd send you a personalized dietary/supplement program and phase-1 of the training program.  After finishing phase-1, I'd take into account your feedback, input, progress report, problems, etc., before putting together phase-2. 

After each phase the process would be repeated.

Cost: US $250.
