Rather than sell you on why you should buy this DVD set, I am going to have satisfied customers share their enthusiasm:

I know the training I learned from your collision course DVD has greatly contributed to my ability to last and it has increased my upper body velocity (battling ropes). the jump training is something i recently started incorporating.. and with the power wheel I can feel the imbalances in my posterior chain improving and my glutes/hams are firing more efficiently making my legs more explosive. I can't thank you enough for the info on those DVD's Mike!--Jennifer Hintenberger

When I ordered the Collision Course DVD set, I was a little concerned over the price. However, since receiving the DVDs, I have watched the entire set of DVD's at least 3 times and I am going back to selected sections fairly regularity. This DVD set, like your other DVDs, transcends the somewhat generic set of content that seems to be prevalent among kettlebell DVD products on the market these days. Each of these presentations could probably exist as a stand-alone product, so it is truly a super value to get all 7 presentations in one package.

By the way, I really appreciate that you allow the original sources to present their material. As I consider you one of my influences, it is great to see the people and the ideas who influence you. I guess it is akin to listening to the music of the bands who influenced ones favorite bands.--Kevin Holowachuk

Collision Course is a must have DVD! Mike has a reputation for putting out high quality products and this is no different. You get cutting edge information from some of the best coaches in the industry on a number of different topics - mobility, strongman training, bodyweight conditioning, battling ropes, advanced kettlebell training, kettlebells for martial arts and optimizing hormones. With 9 HOURS of footage to learn from, this is a DVD set you will refer back to time and time again. Congratulations to Mike and the rest of the coaches for hitting a homerun with this product!.--Ken Blackburn IKFF Director Of Operations

I've ordered loved both of your DVD series being the Boys are Back in Town and Collision Course They have made a massive difference to my training and the results have been fast and astonishing. But even better than my own personal results has been the positive way in which both courses have changed the way in which my staff, all personal trainers, have approached both their own training and the way in which they program their training sessions with their clients. It has had a fantastically positive ripple effect all the way down the line and has helped many, many people get better, faster and certainly more significant results. Thanks a million!--Duncan Maxwell, Director- The Energy Clinic Australia.

Outstanding job, Mike! Your methods have always challenged me and forced me to reassess my current methods. Your Collision Course DVD provided some of the most unique and fresh ideas for no nonsense strength training. The briefing on hormones alone was great and has actually inspired me to conduct my own research. There is certainly too much information to assimilate in one sitting and I look forward to reviewing it again and again in the future. This is definitely your best DVD and is well worth the investment to anyone serious about getting stronger. Thanks again for all of your help and congratulations on your outstanding DVD!--Mike Cheatham

As to be expected, Mike Mahler delivers again!! If you enjoyed "The Boys are Back in Town" DVD set, there is no question that your next move should be to grab a copy of the "Collision Course" workshop! I challenge you to find another DVD set containing this much high quality information with such high quality instruction. Rope training, martial arts conditioning, mobility, 1 arm handstands, atlas stones, logs, and the do's and don'ts of extra heavy kettlebell lifting, totaling 9 hours of sickness!!- Jason Dolby, Assistant Instructor IKFF

If you are serious about getting PRACTICAL training information that you can put into your program RIGHT NOW; then I can't recommend Collision Course highly enough. Every single speaker will blow your mind with the quality of information and the simplicity in which it is delivered. I have been around the block in the strength training world and I can promise that even seasoned veterans in the field will walk away with DOZENS of new ideas. Mahler's talk on hormones and nutrition is worth the price of the DVD's alone. I have spent an INSANE amount of time and money learning how to optimize my diet and nutrition and ultimately Mike lays it out there with truth, clarity and conviction. Don't deprive yourself of this purchase....you and your clients are well worth the investment! Thomas Phillips RKC, RKC II, RKC Team Leader, CK-FMS, Z-trainer www.ThomasPhillipsFitness.com www.FitforLifeMarlboro.com

Just writing to tell you that we received our video in the mail yesterday and it is GREAT! What an incredible resource of solid S&C information--I look forward to watching everything I missed! You definitely inspired me to work on one someday, but it seems like such an intense production.Please tell Roger what a great job everyone here thinks you guys did too. Great editing, sound, and picture quality.Maya Garcia www.icechamber.com

You done it again with The Collision Course. Every presenter had unique and highly valuable material to add. A few personal favorites are John Brookfield's rope training without using ropes and the outside the leg kettlebell swings. I've added just a few things to my own program since watching these DVD's and I'm getting awesome results. This is one set I'll definitely need to watch more than once. If you're on the fence about getting this DVD set do yourself a favor and get it now."

Dude, just finished the first DVD and wanted to let you know it blew me away. There was so much info from John and yourself. I am glad you are putting out info on hormones and their effects not only on workouts but also on life. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series, and I’m sure at some point you will have a book coming out on hormones and look forward to that as well. Keep up the good work!!!Kevin Lail

I wanted to let you know that I am carefully studying your Collision Course DVDs and e-book with great interest! Very, very well done! Great combination of training topics and instructors. I began training people in 1969 for martial arts, then later transitioned to strength & conditioning. I really appreciate your seeking out high-quality information, and making it available. Keep up the great work!Frank DiMeo

Detailed information about the Nine hour plus DVD set and why you should buy it today

Main Presenter #1: John Brookfield

Topic: The Battling Ropes System and how you can use it to enhance any training program or how you can use it as a stand-alone training system for incredible strength, cardio, and muscular endurance.

Lets start with the first presenter John Brookfield. John Brookfield is a multiple world record holderwho has been seen on television shows such as The Today Show, Good Morning America, Regis and Kathie Lee and the Vicki Lawrence show. John has been listed in Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the “Guinness book of world records.” In addition to being a world class strength athlete, John has authored four books including the popular Mastery of Hand Strength.

It is clear that John is an incredible strength athlete however you are not paying hard earned money just to see some feats of strength! Fortunately, John is an outstanding trainer and to say that he is very enthusiastic about his material would be a serious understatement. His enthusiasm is contagious and his delivery is fun and entertaining to keep you fully engaged. Lets get into what John covered and how you will benefit.

The Battling Ropes Training System is a system unlike any other due to the simple fact that the user is forced to maintain pure velocity. Velocity is the combination of speed and strength at the same time. When this occurs the user not only gets stronger but also faster as well. Also, it is important to understand that with the Battling Ropes training all momentum is taken away. This forces the user to train at a higher level of intensity, which produces huge results for the user. You will find that after a short period of time training on The Battling Ropes system you will be able to train or compete at a higher level of intensity for longer durations of time. You will find that the Battling Ropes training will transfer into your chosen battlefield no matter if your are an competitive athlete, a coach, or simply someone trying to achieve the highest level of fitness possible. You will also find the Battling Ropes training a great compliment to any training that you are doing now such as kettlebells or Olympic lifting. Whether you are trying to lose fat, build muscle, or simply get in great shape and feel better, John’s Battling Ropes System is for you.

Here are just a few of the benefits of training with the Battling Ropes:

  1. Increased aerobic and anaerobic capacity
  2. Increased power and strength
  3. Increased power and strength for longer durations
  4. Increased motivation and mental endurance
  5. Increased performance in all aspects of your life
  6. Fat loss acceleration (assuming your diet is in check)

Whatever sport you are into now or whatever training system you are using, John's system will help you do it better. For those of you that have seen The Battling Ropes System on the web, it may look like it consists of just one exercise. However, there are actually seven different levels andelements to Battling Ropes Training. Here are just a few of the exercises and elements that John covered on the DVD.

Topic #1: The ability to maintain and sustain velocity. This is also the foundation of the system. You will learn and participate with the basic exercises, which will develop a much higher level of intensity in your training. You will find that you will not tire out nearly as fast after implementing this training. Here are a few exercises that you will learn.

    • underhand waves
    • overhand waves
    • inward and outward circles
    • bullwhip
    • sidewinder

Topic #2 partner training of the Battling Ropes. You will learn how to train with a partner or even with a team. This is perfect if you are a trainer or coach. The partner or team training actually increases the intensity of the training in a safe effective manner. In this training you not only create your own surge and waves of the ropes but also have to deal with your partners surging and waves of the ropes. This training can also be taken to the sport form where you actually would be competing.

Topic #3 The pole system, which is the strength endurance phase of the training system. This training will give you a much higher level of strength endurance that will transfer into any sport or battlefield. You will quickly find that your strength levelwill not tire or wear down near as quickly after implementing the pole system training for a while. The Pole Systemlikeall of the Battling Ropes training will take away the momentum factor and you will be forced to train with just pure output. Even though, you are forced to use pure output with no momentum, you will find that all of the training is safe for the user due to the fact that you are in the driver’s seat and creating your own intensity as the pilot of the plain. Here are a few of the Pole System exercises you will learn.

    • frontward pull
    • backwards pull
    • seated over the shoulder
    • standing sideward pull
    • kneeling sideward pull

Feedback from people that have benefited immensely from the battling ropes system:

"John, first I would like to thank you for taking the time to teach me about your training system. Boy, was I floored by how my body felt after only a few short minutes! What I love about your system is that it eliminates the fear of injury because when you done, your done. There is no fear of dropping weights on your head or falling due to fatigue. At the end of the day, you have taken a simple 1-1/2” and 2” rope and made it into a total body workout that every combat athlete should be doing as part of their training program. I HIGHLY recommend it to all my athletes. Great product by a great coach!"--
Michael Fry Grapplers Gym

"John Brookfield's Battling Ropes System is a great addition to my training and fits wonderfully into my Kettlebell conditioning circuits. In addition to being an awesome anaerobic conditioning tool, it is also great for grip and muscular endurance and will no doubt benefit my training for Kettlebell Sport (GS)."
Catherine Imes, Girevoy Sport Champion and Master of Sport

"The Battling Ropes provide not only a fantastic shoulder-and-grip workout, but they also are excellent for the posterior chain. The hams, glutes and lower back will be screaming in short order. Don't forget the cardio: The Battling Ropes will take care of that, too! The Battling Ropes are scalable, fun and easy to learn; they can be used to train de-conditioned folks or to provide a "kick butt" workout in elite athletes. Simple, effective and fun: This is a great piece of equipment that any athlete (especially a CrossFitter) would find to be a useful part of the toolbox. Just imagine the fun if sets of Battling Ropes would be combined with pullups and sandbag clean-and-presses for time!"
Kelly Moore, Master of Sport and Powerlifting Champion

"When it comes to the Battling Ropes system, doing is believing! I watched the presentation and said to myself, "I see the grip work and the local muscular endurance." When I tried out the exercises, it blasted my core and my heart rate shot up as well! There was so much more to the workout than my eyes had led me to believe. Talk about functional ab work. This training is perfect for athletes looking for a way to train their abs in a standing position to maintain midline stabilization and balance while absorbing tremendous outside forces. The exercises you can do with the ropes are only limited by your imagination! I am really impressed with the variety of exercises Mr. Brookfield has developed using this system."--
Josh Everett, Strength Coach for UC Riverside

"As a female powerlifter and fitness guru, I am always looking for fresh, new and innovative ways to develop more power and strength as well as maintain the level of fitness I have achieved. The natural movements that emphasis the flow of current of the Battling Ropes System is a sure way to keep muscles sharp and conditioned, as well as improve strength gains, cardiovascular development and stamina. The knowledge, talent, and skill put into this innovation will sustain its position in the fitness industry for many years to come. Thanks, John!"
—Vanessa M. Hood

"John's seminar was fantastic! His knowledge and variety of exercises with Battling Ropes was immeasurable. The creativity and versatility of each exercise allows for a total body workout. Battling Ropes exercises can be geared towards any fitness level. I have been enjoying, exploring, and passing on this innovated training system to other women. As a female athlete I look forward to adding Battling Ropes to my training to reach my full competition potential."
Amber Burns, CrossFit Instructor

"John Brookfield has created one of the most unique training systems available to mankind to date. I have worked with athletes ranging from prepubescent to world-record holders. The Battling Ropes are one of those unique training tools that will stay in your “training tool box”. It is amazing what you can do with a section of 50-foot rope. You can train for muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, anaerobic endurance, muscular strength, power, and mental toughness with one training apparatus. I have used the Battling Ropes with the following sports: swimming, basketball, softball, baseball, golf, cross country, tennis, football, and especially with mixed martial arts fighters. The system can be adapted in numerous ways by manipulating the length and size of the rope. I even have my 9-year-old son train with a 1-1/4" rope in our den. This system can be used for almost anyone! Thank you for creating a “physiological phenomenon” for the world of physical conditioning!"
Mike Martino, Ph.D., CSCS, ACSM-ETT, CES

"Thanks John for coming to the Olympic center to teach our wrestlers your Battling Ropes system. It was great to get all the instruction directly from you the creator of the system. I strongly believe that your Battling Ropes system will benefit our wrestlers in a great way. All of the wrestlers quickly saw how the training will help them go to the next level."
Ivan Ivanov, Head Greco Roman Wrestling Coach, Olympic Training Center.

"As an ex NFL player and college football coach, John has given me a great way to train my athletes with his Battling Ropes system. John's Battling Ropes system develops mid-line stabilization, digital strength and best of all, an intense anaerobic workout that can be used for any sport or occupation. Strength training at high intensity transfers into power and speed and this is actually what John has developed with his Battling Ropes system."
Andy Hendel, Former NFL Special Teams Captain For The Miami Dolphins

"Battling Ropes training is great. It is a total body sprint. I nearly blacked out my first time. Days later, my arms were still pumped. I love being able to go full fury without having to worry about something breaking or getting hurt. The workout leaves my lungs feeling larger and I noticed better stamina after only two sessions."
—David Ellis, National Judo Champion-Olympic Judo Team

"I have known some very strong guys, however, John is one of those rare guys who is not simply among the strongest in the world, but is truly head and shoulders above the rest of us. John has unending innovations and creativity when it comes to developing strength. He knows how to motivate athletes and develop tools that will take any athlete to their highest level of performance. John has become not only a legend but also a living legend among the strong."
Philip Pfister, 2006 World’s Strongest Man Champion

If you are not impressed by the incredible testimonials that John has then you do not have a pulse. If the DVD consisted of only John’s section, it would no doubt be worth the price alone. However, it gets better as John is only one of six presenters on this one of a kind DVD.

Main Presenter #2: Jon Hinds

Topic: Maximizing training by drastically improving posture, alignment, and destroying weak links.

Jon has some of the best material that I have seen period on bodyweight training. To ramp up the benefits of bodyweight training, Jon developed an impressive line of portable equipment to increase the intensity and effectiveness of bodyweight training. In fact he has invented over forty pieces of functional training equipment used to improve athletic performance & basic health including the power pushup 2 and jungle gym. These are two of the training tools that you will be getting for free at the workshop.

Jon is a former NBA strength and conditioning coach and is a training consultant for the NFL and MBA. He has trained over one hundred pro athletes and has also worked with renowned motivational speaker Tony Robbins (Please don’t hold this one against him ;-)

In addition an incredibly successful trainer, Jon is an outstanding athlete and some of his personal accomplishments include

  • Gold Medallist in the 2000 Pan American Games – Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
  • Gold Medallist in the 2001 Rickson Gracie World Championships – Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
  • At 6’1” and 215 lbs. could do every dunk imaginable and took his vertical from a modest 25” to 42” in a span of months, hitting his elbow easily on the rim. Still dunking at age 45!
  • Did 1,000 push ups in 40 minutes at age 40
  • Did 500 push ups in 12 minutes at age 43

No doubt Jon is an incredible athlete and certainly not an armchair Internet expert that does not have personal results with his own system to back up what he teaches.

Here is what is on Jon’s section of the DVD:

  • How to take Bodyweight Exercises to the next level of Performance.
  • How to progress push ups to the maximum load possible in just seconds!
  • How to make the push up the most incredible full body core exercise ever!
  • How to recognize weakened & lengthened areas of your body and how to fix them.
  • How to truly train your ‘core’ for incredible power, alignment and strength!
  • Back pain, knee pain, neck pain and all the other major pains that you MUST pay attention to and address.
  • What is it that the Animal Kingdom knows that we don’t and why these ‘secrets’ enforce what they already know.
  • How to easily progress up to walking on your hands, 1 arm handstands and more.
  • How to balance your hips in just minutes to relieve back pain AND help you to perform at higher levels with more strength, stability and power!
  • How with just a light backpack of equipment you can train everyone for everything from Basic Movement to Olympic Athlete!!
  • How to train with Gravity & Horizontal resistance

Handstand Training for serious upper body power

Handstands and handstand pushups are very beneficial exercises for upper body and core strength. Wherever you are in handstand development Jon can take you a step further and he is going to cover how everyone can progress into handstands, hand balancing, and even handstand pushups. Jon’s handstand training section will cover:

  1. What the incline plane is and how to use it to workup to a full handstand
  2. The benefits of wall walk ups and how to do them
  3. Why you should be doing lateral wall walks
  4. Why you need to do kick-ups and how to get them done
  5. The benefits of handstand hip slaps and how to do them
  6. Why you should have a goal of being able to walk on your hands for impressive upper body power and how to get it done.

How To Progress to Powerful Pushups

Most people are not even close to doing a perfect pushup and most likely you are one of them. Jon will show you how to maximize the benefits of perfect form pushups and show you how to go from knee pushups to one-arm pushups. The pushup exercises that will be covered are:

  1. Knee Push Up: yes! Cause no one can do one right
  2. Regular Push ups done right
  3. The Power Push Up for maximum upper body power
  4. 1 Arm Push Ups progression
  5. Jungle Gym Push Ups
  6. Jungle Gym 1 Arm Push Up
  7. Jungle Gym Static Holds to circles and more

Advanced Core/Alignment Training for people that care about more than having a pretty six-pack.

While Jon is a serious strength coach and cares more about developing clients with strong injury proof core’s one of the common side effects of his hardcore core routine is a client base with strong and solid midsections. Thus, even if you could care less about having a strong and powerful core, you can still use Jon’s exercises to develop the midsection that you have always wanted.

In this section Jon covers:

  1. What is the best way to train Full Body Core Strength, Progressions in Core Training, High Level Core workout
  2. How to use the Jungle Gym for alignment, strength and power!
  3. Prone Drills: (using Jungle Gym or Power Wheel)
  4. Rollouts to Full Rollouts
  5. Alternate pauses
  6. Knees to elbows
  7. Pike Ups
  8. Crawling
  9. Jumping
  10. Lateral drills and mixing it up!
  11. Supine Drills:
  12. Holding Supine Bridge
  13. 1” hip lift curls to 6” lift curls
  14. Runners
  15. Plyo Curls
  16. 1” Leg Curls

Here is what Jon’s clients are saying about his system and why they know you will love this DVD

“An excellent seminar! Jon’s teaching was humbling physically with simple bodyweight alignments and powerful in its progressions for athletes and all others. I absolutely recommend learning from Jon!”
Steve Bott, Strength Coach, Virginia

"Wonderful experience…great balance of physical activity & classroom knowledge. Great hands on & visual displays of movement, correction and application! Great presentation, and staff, keep up the energy and spread the good news!"
Ray Lilley, Strength Coach, Martial Arts expert, Wisconsin

"Amazing course teaching you how to progress from beginner to advanced with the most diverse exercises using your own bodyweight. The Monkey Bar Gymnasium is the future of fitness and what a functional training facility should look like. Truly teaching people how to become REALLY physically fit!"
Michael Henskens, Personal Trainer, Amsterdam, Netherlands

"I loved it! It was a new way of training that makes sense! I am so grateful for all the knowledge - it is truly revolutionary. Jon’s Seminar was AWESOME!"
Alexandra Auker, Personal Trainer, Los Angeles, California

"I guarantee learning from Jon will change the way you train forever!"

(In just 2 years training at the MBG Jessica has gone from 35% to 14% body fat and has gained 25 lbs of muscle…and she only weights 136 lbs!)

—Jessica Rucker, Madison, Wisconsin

"Encouraging, informative, empowering! I learned how much we deceive ourselves by compensating, because I realize if we do things correctly, we will perform better and feel better.I definitely recommend learning from Jon, he is definitely one of the best!"
Andy Elton, Physical Therapist, North Carolina

"Fantastic, very humbling! Jon has a great philosophy and knowledge on how the body works, always building towards more and more athletic exercise.Excellent seminar!"
Stan Alexander, Strength Coach, Virginia

"Jon’s seminar in Madison, Wisconsin was an event that exceeded my expectations. I have been to many fitness conferences, workshops and events, however this training was by far the best ever! This totally assured me that you do not need to be at a gym, lugging dumbbells around, sliding from one piece of equipment to the next to just get fit. You can get fit from home, your laneway, hotel room or park! The options are endless, the progressions taught were excellent, so now I can pretty much work with many clients at once at any level, all in the same class without feeling that I am being stretched as the instructor. This is a great asset to a private studio located in a rural community. The equipment that is optional is very reasonable to purchase and not intimidating to use. I could not have asked for a better addition to my current knowledge and certifications."
Suzanna Debeer, Ontario, Canada

"Learning with Jon Hinds at the Monkey Bar Gym was a transformational fitness experience. After just two days, I felt stronger in my core than I have ever felt in my life. My posture improved noticeably, and the ache in my back disappeared. Functional fitness - training movements, not muscles - is a revolution whose time has come. I will never go back to machines and treadmills again - I am free to get fit like other animals do - as part of my daily life."
— Howie Jacobson, North Carolina

Main Presenter #3: Mike Mahler

Advanced Kettlebell Training And Nutrition Strategies that work for fat loss, vitality, and well being

Since I am the one writing this ad copy I am going to write in first person rather than feel silly writing about myself in third person.

Over the last seven years I have done a ton of Kettelbell workshops across the US. I am also the author of several popular kettlebell training DVD’s and e-books and I am the producer and one of the instructor’s in the highly acclaimed “Boys Are Back In Town Kettlebell Workshop DVD.”

While I really enjoy helping people become physically stronger and healthier, I feel that strength training is far more than what you can do physically. What is the point of being strong physically if you are not in charge of your life and at the mercy of others in your personal and professional life? Real strength goes far beyond how much weight you can lift. This is what my phrase “Live Life Aggressively!” is all about and what I bring to the table.

While I have enjoyed teaching a ton of beginner and advanced kettlebell workshops in the past, one of my current goals is to go beyond kettlebell training and become an information provider for comprehensive strength, well-being, and vitality. “The Boys Are Back In Town” workshop and DVD was the beginning of this course and “The Collision Course Workshop DVD” set is the next evolution that I know will bring tremendous value to the lives of thousands around the world.

Here is what you will learn during my section and why it will accelerate your kettlebell training progress and your overall strength, conditioning, and well being goals.

  • Why real strength is a combination of speed, power, relaxation, and structural integrity. You need to master all of these elements to reach your true strength and conditioning potential.
  • Why too much tension is a waste and how to apply just enough tension to get the job done. High tension is great when you need it but a disaster when you do not. Learn when to use it and when to avoid it.
  • How to take your one-arm rep max with the one-arm KB military press to 6-10 reps. Yes it works.
  • Where your hands should be on Double Kettlebell Military Presses and how the bells should be racked for maximum control and power.
  • The importance of resting in between each rep to enable maximum power on each rep.
  • Should your legs be locked out for maximum kettlebell pressing power or is a slight bend in the knees the way to go? Find out on he DVD
  • The advantages of doing double swings and double snatches with the bells on the outside of your feet and how to do it.This version will allow you to generate more power than ever. You will be shocked at how much higher the bells get with less effort. Of course you have to do it right and you will after viewing the exercise on the DVD.
  • How to load up on heavy cleans, swings, and snatches
  • The Two step loading pattern to snatches

  • One-arm Relaxed/tension Mil Press
  • Double Clean and Relaxed/tension Mil Press
  • Ballistic Bent-over Row (one-arm and two-arm versions)

  • Double Outside Swing
  • Jump Shrug
  • Outside alternating clean
  • Knee Jump
  • Explosive Pushup

Optimizing Hormones Via Nutrition, training, and lifestyle lecture

Do not worry this is not a pitch on the vegan diet. While I would love to see more people eat less meat for the moral arguments, I am a firm believer that you can be healthy as a meat eater and as a vegan (My great grandmother was a life long meat eater and lived to be over 100. My mother is a life long vegetarian and looks much younger than she is and is healthy, mentally sharp, and full of energy). The main principles are the same, which is a focus on real natural food and an avoidance of synthetic garbage that far too many people eat daily.

Next, I have been researching the importance of hormone optimization a great deal this year and have a lot of new material that is covered on the DVD. The main new points revolve around the importance of keeping the hormones insulin and cortisol in the ideal ranges. Fortunately this is not a complicated process and can be done effectively with diet modification and relaxation methods. You do not have to blow any money on expensive nutrition supplements to facilitate this process. Without keeping Insulin and Cortisol in the ideal ranges, optimizing other hormones is futile. Even taking testosterone and growth hormone replacement therapy will be only moderately effective without keeping Insulin and cortisol in the ideal ranges. You will learn how to modify your diet accordingly to optimize hormones. Whether you eat meat or a strict vegetarian like me is irrelevant. The principles work across the board. If you are frustrated with poor fat loss, difficulty in building muscle, low energy, and a poor sex drive you need this information. It is not something you may benefit from it is something that you will benefit from if you apply the uncomplicated principles. Take charge of your health and get the DVD today.

I never ask any of my clients to do anything that I am not willing to do. I am a firm believer in leading as a trainer and a businessman. I eat a clean healthy diet and have been doing so for many years. I am tired of trainers that have the audacity to call themselves fat loss experts when they themselves are fat! No matter how good their advice may be, it either does not work, or they cannot follow it themselves. If they cannot follow it they are in no position to expect you to follow it. While being lean does not necessarily mean that you know anything about effective nutrition, being fat definitely means that you do not know how to personally apply effective nutrition and are not in a position to instruct others on effective nutrition protocols. All right, rant is over and lets get into what I will be covering:

  1. Why you must keep Insulin and cortisol in the ideal ranges. Failure to do so will prevent the optimization of other important hormones such as testosterone, DHEA, and growth hormone.
  2. Why sugar is a killer and destroyer of healthy hormone production and what to do about your sweet tooth.
  3. Is the warrior diet principle of under eating during the day and having a main meal in the evening the ideal fit for you or should you eat balanced meals through out the day. The answer may surprise you and no one diet is a fit for everyone and every goal.
  4. The benefits of a fat fuel diet and is it a fit for you? You will be able to determine whether carbohydrates are your ideal fuel source or if fat fuel is a better choice for you.
  5. High-energy fat fuel foods that will give you long lasting energy. It is time to get over the misnomer that fat makes you fat. That said, not all fats are created equal and many should be avoided like the plague.
  6. Why having a protein high carb shake after workouts is a big mistake if your goal is to reduce bodyfat.
  7. Sugar alternatives: are any of them worth taking?
  8. How to modify nutrition depending on what your goals are
  9. Why you must have a cheat day once a week to keep fat loss going. This is not only beneficial mentally but hormonally as well.
  10. Common mistakes that bring fat loss to a screeching halt and how to avoid them.
  11. The benefits of the stress hormone cortisol for fat loss and on the flip side how it can hamper fat loss dramatically.
  12. What to do to optimize sex hormones naturally with diet and relaxation methods and why you should care.

Feedback from people that have benefited immensely from my training information:

"Mike Mahler is an expert in the challenging field of sports conditioning. His unique and innovative teaching tactics guarantee high retention of these one-of-a-kind workouts. His extensive knowledge feeds a powerful passion to explore the human body with safety and strength. If you get a chance to train with him; do so or regret it."
—Frank Shamrock, Five Time UFC Middleweight Champion

"Lost 10 lbs and went down from a size 12 to a size 8 in jeans – that was something I expected not to happen for another 10-15 more lbs! So thanks for your guidelines – they really have helped a lot."
—Michele Milevoi

"For women out there who have tried everything. I have always been fit. But I have always been bulky fit. On the HOC program that Mike designed for me I have become leaner than ever. In six months I have gone from a bodyfat percentage of 23% all the way down to 14.5%. I am 36 years old and I have never felt better."
—Staci From Punch Gym in R.I.

"Thank you for an amazing day. Even after two years of working with Kettlebells, buying videos, and working on form on my own I can honestly say that the time and money were VERY WELL spent. Now I know how much I didn't (don't) know.

Oh, after I was able to press the 88 I went around the corner and grabbed Mark's 97. It went up with both arms too! I am more motivated than ever now. It is hard to believe that when I started it was a stretch to press the 35 overhead more than 5 reps.To be able to work out the entire day with a 53 I would never have thought possible 18 months ago.

Thanks again for sharing the wealth of information you have acquired."
Ron Priestley

"Thanks again for your class. It was Money well spent. You taught a wealth of insightful information in a way that most professional teachers, I think, would envy. Clear, patient, concise,and with humor (an essential and often overlooked quality). Never condescending. I was sore the next day, in an area I didn't expect to be the legs) but it was a good sore. Anyway its obvious to see that you enjoy what you do, much continued success! If its at all possible let me know if you are going to teach an intermediate class any time soon in the Vegas area - would love to get to the next level."
—Adam Gregory

"Please come back to DC. We'd like to attend another workshop from you. Amazingly enough, my entire body is sore, but not my lower back. The first time I was trained with someone else, I had a sore back. I just love the way you trained us. It's phenomenal!"
—Mya Thida

"Since I have been using Mike's techniques I have gotten into absolutely amazing shape. I'm proud to say it! I cannot recommend his expertise enough. In the past few months, everyone I know has asked me how I got so fit and I direct them all to kettlebells and Mike Mahler. Mike realizes that everyone has different training goals and what they need to do to achieve them. He knows what works and what doesn't and will get you where you want to go. Thanks Mike, you seriously kick ass!"
—Chris Pontius of MTV's Wildboyz and Jackass

"In our field countless numbers hold themselves out as experts, yet only a select few can be called true experts. Utilizing his rare skill with the art of kettlebells, he marries these classic techniques with routines that are modern and thoughtful, yet still creative and diverse. Mahler also offers seminars and articles that are both informative and inspiring. He’s just amazingly well-rounded. Simply stated, I consider Mike Mahler to be one of the premier strength trainers in the world today.”
—Carlon M. Colker, M.D., FACN Author, Extreme Muscle Enhancement—Bodybuilding’s Most Powerful Techniques Contributing Editor and Writer, Muscular Development Magazine Chief Executive Officer and Medical Director, Peak Wellness

"Mike what I like about your articles, something that makes you special is how inspiring you are. Many coaches have the book smarts and experience, but few have a way of bringing out the absolute best in everyone!"
—Christian Thibaudeau, Author of "The Black Book Of Training Secrets" and contributor to Testosterone Magazine

"This opportunity gives me the chance to thank you for the tremendous results that I had during the time that you were coaching me (1.5 years). Although I had years of experience in the martial arts I was new to grappling. Nevertheless when I started to train at Pancration and submission grappling I had great success in a very short time. The reason was superior physical conditioning. To my surprise I managed to win against guys that were 10 to 15 years younger than me with greater experience in grappling, simply because I was moving faster, being stronger and lasting longer. Results speak for themselves. A million thanks."
Antonis Kaniaros

"I wanted to let you know how much success I had while on your program. I continued in a maintenance phase while deployed. I arrived back today and was told that I needed to perform a PT (physical training) test. A PT test in the army consists of pushups, sit-ups, and a two mile run. On my last PT test I preformed 41 pushups in two minutes, this time I did 60. As for sit-ups 50 last time, 72 this time. However most surprising to me was the run, my last two-mile time was 16:20, this time it was 14:20. I did not expect to make that much improvement with out ever running. Thank you again for all your help."
—SGT Tell M Hunting

Main Presenter #4: Mark Philippi

Strongman Legend and strength and conditioning expert Mark Philippi on the benefits of strongman training for every day people like you.

I really enjoyed Mark’s training session at the course. In fact it is my favorite part of the DVD. How can you not love pressing cylinders, flipping tires, picking up rocks, and learning some great tips to ramp up the deadlift and core strength? Even if you do not have access to any strongman equipment, what Mark covers will carry over to whatever you want to do to get stronger.

Most of you know who Mark Philippi is and even if the name does not ring a bell at first, if you have ever watched a strongman training competition on ESPN in the last seven years you have seen this strongman bad ass in action.

In addition to being an incredible athlete, Mark unlike many athletes is an outstanding couch and instructor. Believe me the cost of this DVD set is more than worth it just to learn from Mark. Serious athletes such as MLB Star Jason Giambi of the NY Yankees have traveled across the country to learn from Mark and now you can as well. Here is what Jason had to say about working with Mark:

“I am a power hitter. I need to be strong. Mark is an expert at developing strength and power. He had me ready for the season.”

What does that mean? I have no idea but Mark does and so will we after we learn from Mark.
  13. Methods to increase static flexibility that you should be using

In addition to the four main presenters, we also have two additional presenters that were all the rave at the workshop. Here is what they covered at the workshop and what is on the Collision Course DVD.

Guest Presenter #1: Tom Furman

Real Combat Joint Mobility Training For Pain Free Living

Tom Furman has been involved in martial arts and conditioning since the early seventies. With an early background in wrestling and a student of the methods of the York Barbell Club in his native Pennsylvania, Tom immediately could separate fact from fiction growing up near Pittsburgh, with eleven male members of his family being Combat Veterans. The no nonsense upbringing amidst mill workers and coal miners branded his methodology early. Results mean everything. There was no bragging to his male role models about hard work or fighting. They had been there and done that.

Tom's training methods are derived from his decades long passion of martial arts and his study of exercise science. The application of force, improvement of movement, and the durability of the subject rank high on his list of priorities when he communicates his methods. He gives credit to hundreds of hours of seminars, training sessions, and 'backyard' workouts. This would include training time with many martial arts legends. He also credits his incredibly gifted training partners who vary from former Airborne Rangers and Bounty Hunters, to Boxing Trainers, and Coast Guard Rescue Divers. Tom was also fortunate to have been trained under the guidance of Exercise Physiologist Mark Jones, formerly of the Sports and Fitness Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Currently Tom runs Physicalstrategies, and trains professional athletes in strength, conditioning, and movement skills. He is the creator of the popular "Concrete Conflict and Conditioning" DVD, which integrates, strength, movement, a physical combat.

Tom has definitely been around the block you get to benefit first hand from his experience.

Here is what you are going to learn during Tom’s joint mobility section:

  • Durable Combative Mobility
  • The Neck motion and headbutts - How to not only free your neck movement, but learn to absorb impact and deliver punishment.
  • Shrug motion and protection - Making full use of the shoulder girdle for protection or application of deadly force.
  • Elbow motions and application - How to use the Thai boxer's "bread and butter" technique to relieve issues in your shoulders.
  • High and Low Dive and the shoulder joint - The flinch response, and how it trains your shoulder joints to stay safe during impact.
  • Waist motion and the Two Power Bases - This free motion exercise teaches you how to "shorten your arc" for application of power in sports.
  • Energy Transfer Squat - Train the "dead spot" in your leg movement and find out how it can also save your life.
  • Energy Transfer Lunge - Single leg strength and flexibility with this bodyweight smoker.
  • Depak and Squat - Training the inner thigh and lateral motion mechanics.
  • Boogaloo - Stretching the IT band and learning to side step aggressive movement.
  • Silat Knee Drop - The how to re-train the body to kneel correctly.
  • Depak - The forward cross step and how this will make your hips do things you never thought they could do.
  • Sempak- The rear cross step and gluteal drill.
  • Gelek - 360 Degrees of rotation and how changing the horizontal and height zones will equal enduring leg development.
  • Burlesque Bump - Quads, Glutes, and hamstrings are re-connected with this simple but elegant drill.
  • Bump and Lunge - How to advance the Burlesque Bump into a deep hip flexor drill.
  • Thai Stretch - Common to Thai boxers but largely unknown to Westerners. This exercise surpasses the commonly taught and poorly designed hip flexor remedies.
  • Walking Lunge - Total hip, thigh, calf, and foot training.
  • Kneeling Walk - Waking up your hip rotators for combative application and smooth moves.
  • Alternating Leg Drag - Training the groin and hammies to open and actually move.
  • Kneeling Kip - How to be light on your knees and move from ground to standing with speed and ease.
  • Squatting Heel Raise - Training your feet, calves and shins to get them back to barefoot running and jumping.

Here is what people are saying about Tom and why they know you will benefit from his instruction:

“Great expression of core work out with a martial arts spin(in a good way). There are plenty of exercises and flexibility stuff that I have not seen or thought of doing that I will try to incorporate into my workouts. Nice tiger style silat postures and exercises to strengthen legs and add flexibility. The application of the work out overlapped well with the martial arts aspects.”
John Brown

“Tom is a top notch instructor, his training is innovative and hands on with no unnecessary garnish. You can't go wrong with him.”
Mario P Quinn

“Tom Furman presents a unique blend of training methodologies spanning traditional SE Asian martial arts, "old-school" training and current scientific advances in strength and conditioning. Far from overwhelming, his packaging and delivery of material is first rate and designed to get results. Time spend with Tom is time well spent!”
Rufus Rankin

“Tom has a wealth of knowledge about physical training in a number of modalities and Martial Arts that are unfamiliar to many. He excels at articulating his knowledge in an extremely relevant manner. Great products and information.”
Sean Maguire

Guest Presenter #2: Dylan Thomas

Strength and conditioning for the martial artist that has tremendous benefits for everyday people

The next guest presenter is my good friend Dylan Thomas. I have worked with Dylan for many years and he is a super intense guy that knows how to keep an audience engaged. Some have said that he is too intense and in our watered down politically correct society I think that is a good thing! We need more people that are not afraid to offend people and instead care more about making people stronger, fit, and most importantly mentally tougher.

If you want an instructor that tells you how great you are and gives you a warm hug every five minutes then Dylan is not the guy for you. However, if you want great articulate instruction from a non-nonsense trainer, then you are going to love Dylan’s section.

Dylan is a very progressive trainer and knows how to effectively combine kettlebells with conventional weight training and martial arts into an effective fitness system. He has been doing this for years with his clients and now you get to learn what they have been benefiting from for years.

In addition to being a professional KB Trainer, he is a 4th Dan Black Belt Combat/Aiki-Jujutsu Instructor and also trains in Filipino/Indonesian Martial Arts. What does this mean? It means that Dylan is one tough dude and brings that energy to his training system to make you tougher in training and in life in general.

The focus of Dylan’s presentation is on strength and conditioning for the martial arts. Even if you could care less about strength and conditioning for the martial arts I have no doubt whatsoever that you will love Dylan’s informative presentation and benefit immensely.

Here is what Dylan covered on the DVD set:

  1. Effective strength and conditioning for the martial arts. What works and what should be avoided like the plague
  2. Incredible strength and conditioning for self defense and close combat. Learn what really carries over and what does not.
  3. The importance of training for the type of martial arts that you practice and why training must be personalized.
  4. Why trying to train like your favorite MMA star is a disaster and why you must zero in on your needs and take your goals and time constraints into account.
  5. The importance of restorative exercise for the martial artist and how to implement joint mobility and yoga into your routine for enhanced performance and longevity.
  6. An amazing alternative from the normal set and rep scheme of bodybuilding and general strength training that is based on the flow of Yoga and Martial arts practice. Your workout will becomes an enjoyable "Performance"

Here is what people are saying about Dylanand why they know you will benefit from his training:

"I began using kettlebells in my training about 4 months ago, when I was already well into my prep for NPC Nationals. After explaining my physique and performance goals to my trainer Dylan Thomas, we mapped out a plan to incorporate this unique piece of equipment into my training regime. By adding kettlebells into a training program that also included high volume and basic core lifts, I was able to make significant gains in both size and strength, all while dieting for competition. My physique is the most complete now that it's ever been since I began competing three years ago."
—Alissa Carpio

"OK, Ladies listen up; I am relatively new to kettlebell training. I attended Mike and Dylan’s professional Kettlebell workshop in Northern VA. Mike and Dylan are truly experts in the science of kettlebell training. Dylan is excellent in his innate ability to make you focus and perform. I felt completely comfortable and part of the team during the instruction and execution of the exercises. I learned how important it is to use the right kettlebell weight and essential tweaks on my lifting."
Carrie Pascoe, Woodbridge, VA

"In thefew short months I've been kettlebell training with Dylan, I've noticed tremendous results. My strength has increased exponentially, without looking like a bulked-up gym rat. I'm not sure I could do one pull up at the start, now I can do quite a few. My bench went up 45 pounds, and I've gone from using 30lb to the 50lb dumb bells. I've noticed muscles appearing places I didn't know I had them! Most importantly, I've lost an inch off my waist, and I've never felt better. When you hear about the fantastic results that training with Dylan and kettlebells can bring about, believe them!"
Les W. Stovall, CISSP, CAP

"I have been working out with Dylan for about a year with the kettlebells. I definitely have gained more muscle strengthand get a great cardioworkout. He routinely teaches me new techniques and changes up the routine that keeps it interesting."
Patti Grant

"Dylan tailorsuse ofkettlebells and mixes of other exercisesspecifically to address your particular needs and desired goals--rather then the "one size fits all", "cookie-cutter", routines that many trainers will just follow off a standardized, pre-printed form--the great aspect ofDylan's use of kettlebells is that they are so adaptable to so many different exercise goals, for men or women, of all ages, from those desiring to compete at professional levels in sportsand expert levels of recreational pursuits to those recovering from injury or just beginning to exercise for the first time or after a long layoff."
Robin Grove

"Dylan's training methods, particularly his kettle bell routines, are quite effective. In working with Dylan for the past year, I lost over 80 pounds, went from a 40-inch waist to a 32-inch waist, and from no pull-ups to 8-10 pull-ups. The workouts he designs are a great combination of intensity and efficiency. I believe I get done in 40 minutes what would take more than 90 minutes using traditional weight machines and aerobic activities, particularly as the kettle bell exercises combine aspects of weight training and aerobic conditioning into one super-charged workout. The mixture of traditional and innovative kettle bell and related techniques Dylan provides really work for me. They made it possible for me to achieve my goals and to go way beyond them. All my thanks!"
Dr. Daniel Collins-Cavanaugh


Frequently Asked Questions To Squash Lame Objections

Q: I am not an advanced trainee is this workshop a fit for me?

A: First, advanced trainees are going to love this DVD set. That said, this DVD is the application of advanced training concepts for the benefit of everyday people as well. Thus do not be intimidated by the high level of instruction and information. Ahardcore mentality more than being in great shape is what is required.

Q: Is this a boot camp-style DVD in which we are watching people work out or is it instruction based.

A: We decided to show a good amount of both on this DVD. It certainly has a great deal of instruction. However, rather than cut out all of the actual training, we thought that you would find it inspiring to see people work their tails off and have a great time at the course. This really is a fun DVD to watch and when you are having fun you simply will stay more engaged and learn more.

Q: I have a lot of workshop DVD’s and they all have poor film quality and even worse sound quality. What can I expect with yours?

A: Great question and I know exactly what you are taking about. Frankly, I have been disappointed with every workshop DVD that I have purchased as well. This is one of the main reasons why I wanted to produce some high quality workshop DVD’s and the ones I produce are by far the best quality on the market. That is simply a fact. Not only do I make sure to work with great instructors to ensure the content is top notch, I work with the best people to ensure the production is top-notch. Fortunately I have an in house production company via my brother to ensure just that.

I can promise you that you will not be disappointed with our DVD. My brother Roger who films and edits all of my DVD’s is a pro and he did an exceptional job filming and editing our DVD. If you have the “Boys are back in town” DVD you know what I am talking about.

Q: I want to get stronger, faster, leaner, and take charge of my health--should I get this DVD?

A: Yes, and you could not ask for a better DVD. You will not be disappointed.

Q: I want to lose fat, gain energy, and have a healthy sex drive--should I buy this DVD?

A: Yes, again you could not ask for a better DVD. You will not be disappointed.

A: What's satisfaction guaranteed policy?

A: Buy the DVD and check it out. If you are not satisfied with the material then send it back within 30 days for a hassle free full refund.

Q: Why is the DVD so expensive?

A: I realize we are in a retracted economy in which people are losing their jobs left and right. Money is tight for a lot of people and one has to be wise about expenditures. That said, this DVD is not even close to being expensive. Over nine hours of high quality material for $99.95 is not expensive. That breaks down to around $11.00 per hour of great instruction. How many high quality fitness DVD’s do you see for $11.00 for an hour of information? Exactly none! Most fitness DVD’s have ten minutes of real material and then forty minutes of fluff.

If you do not want to buy the DVD that is fine with me but don’t you dare tell me the DVD set is too expensive. You can make excuses or you can make opportunities but you cannot do both. This DVD is an opportunity to learn an incredible amount of information for a more than fair price. Saying the DVD is too expensive is simply an excuse and a great way to add another missed opportunity to your long list.

Q: I'm not sure if I should buy the DVD set--can you convince me?

A: If over 20 pages of informative ad copy has not convinced you then lets not waste each other’s time. I do not have the illusion that this DVD is a fit for everyone and frankly I think that that the masses are not even close to taking charge of their lives and benefiting from the incredible material on this DVD.

Q: Can I email you guys if I have any questions regarding the material?

A: Yes, we welcome your questions and want to make sure you get the most out of your purchase. We value your business and do not take your time and money lightly.

Q: What format is the DVD in and will it work on international DVD players?

A: It is in DVD/video format and will work on all players.


Tired of fitness products that look for the lowest common denominator? I am and that is why The Collision Course DVD Set is my commitment to excellence. Now it is time for you to make a commitment to excellence to yourself

We live in a minimalist society in which people are looking for the lowest common denominator and act accordingly. We see it in movies, television shows, music, customer service, restaurants, and on and on. I do not know about you but I am fed up of it. I hate that anti-climatic feeling that comes when you look forward to something and then end up disappointed that it did not live up to your expectations. This is why I am committed to excellence with my business and life. I never want my customers to feel that terrible anti-climatic feeling with any of my products. I am prepared to apply the deliberate hard work that is necessary to produce excellent products. I do not want to meet the lowest expectations of my customers, I want to exceed the highest expectations of my customers. This is why I find the best instructors for each production. Without top-notch instructors it will be impossible to acquire the best material. We have all seen well produced fitness DVD's with poor material. On the other hand, high quality instruction with low quality production is an insult to the customer.

I have the utmost respect for my customers. Without them I would not have the great living that I have. As a result I have an obligation to people that have supported me over the years to produce not only DVD's with high quality instruction, but exceptional production. Fortunately, I have an in house production team via my brother Roger. To say Roger is committed to excellence would be the understatement of the year. He will burn the midnight oil for as long as it takes to produce the highest quality product possible. Those of you that purchased "The Boys Are Back In Town Kettlebell Workshop DVD" already now this. His commitment to improving with each subsequent product shows clearly on the Collision Course DVD.

DVD Length: Nine hours and thirty minutes

This DVD will exceed your expectations and you will not have that anti-climatic feeling that you often have with other products. If for the off chance reason you are not completely satisfied,, you can send the DVD set back for a hassle free refund. However, do not even bother purchasing this DVD unless you are committed to excellence yourself. If you are a minimalist when it comes to getting the most out of your training and life then this product is not for you. If I am committed to excellence then I expect you to be committed to excellence as well. If you are committed to excellence then this DVD is a perfect fit for you. If you want to be committed to excellence and need inspiration then look no further. It is right here.

P.S.

Still think the price is too high? So did Kevin before he bought the DVD. However, this is how he feels know:

When I ordered the Collision Course DVD set, I was a little concerned over the price. However, since receiving the DVDs, I have watched the entire set of DVD's at least 3 times and I am going back to selected sections fairly regularity. This DVD set, like your other DVDs, transcends the somewhat generic set of content that seems to be prevalent among kettlebell DVD products on the market these days. Each of these presentations could probably exist as a stand-alone product, so it is truly a super value to get all 7 presentations in one package.

By the way, I really appreciate that you allow the original sources to present their material. As I consider you one of my influences, it is great to see the people and the ideas who influence you. I guess it is akin to listening to the music of the bands who influenced ones favorite bands.--Kevin Holowachuk
