There is a myth behind the term “functional strength”.

Back in the day it was all about balancing on a ball,
a wobble board or anything unstable.

Nowadays it’s all about kettlebells.

When I think about “functional strength” it means
one thing to me and that is my ability to display
strength regardless of the situation I am in.

I want to be able to lift big…that means
being able to squat, deadlift and olympic
lift heavy weights. I want to be able to
flip 600 lb tires with ease, sprint up a hill
faster than all heck, and be able to kick
ass and take names if a bar fight breaks out.

I received a call today from someone asking
where the heck to get started with all my training.

I have so many products he was unsure which would best fit

They’re ALL getting stronger than a run away freight train, every week, the gains keep coming.

What’s more important is the knowledge they are gaining by training here. This knowledge will stay with them forever.

They’ve been schooled on the right way to train, the most effective methods and tools for the trade, and because of this “education”, they will become better at anything and everything they do.

Why will they become better at Everything?

Our training develops the mind AND body together, into one, powerful, high performance machine. In addition, being strong is something we do not take lightly. They understand that being strong is critical and is to be held in high esteem.

Ironically, I just received an e mail from a friend out West who left his health club because of the horrible atmosphere. Before that, I received a phone call from a Police Officer in West Va. who had just purchased Ancient Training Methods and has been using this style of training for the past 3 weeks.
