Please consult your physician before starting this (or any) exercise
program.
Here are a few tips that will help YOU to MAXIMIZE your RESULTS:
1. Always check with the ol Dr. before starting any new exercise or diet program (if
youre unsure).
2. Do NOT do exercises that you dont understand how to do. Always make sure you
know what youre doing first. If need be, hire a trainer or look into my Elite Online
Coaching Program where I can help you out more closely.
4. This program has the potential to be used with newbies to training as well as
those that consider themselves to be a complete badass mother#$cker. Just make
sure to start off at your own pace and increase your overall intensity as you move
ahead.
5. Overtraining is a BIG issue if you dont pay attention to when your body needs
rest. Dont think youre invincible. If youre feeling super run-down and fatigued,
take a REST day. To help, make sure youre always working in soft tissue and
mobility work before and after training sessions or when ever possible. No Excuses
here!
6. Use the movement progressions as you go through the program. Dont think you
can just go right into the hardest movements right off the bat. Make sure to attack
things in a SMART manner.
7. In all honesty, you shouldnt have to do more then the 5 workouts I have
prescribed within my program per week. MORE is never better. Just stick to the
plan as laid out.
8. NEVER skip your warm up! NO EXCUSES here. Make sure you at least get in a few
minutes to warm the body up a bit before you Throwdown.
9. If you have an injury, dont even think about starting this program and please do
not email me to ask if you should start. The answer is to rehab that injury and get
yourself back to at least 95% or better before you begin.

Battle Prep B
***IF TIME Soft Tissue Work 2-3 focus areas
In order to stick to this time crunch, Ive got a very FAST and effective method that
will help start the recovery process as fast as possible.
***This is especially for YOU if you are highly limited on your time***
In short, all youll do is pick a mobility pose or movement and go through 10 BIG-
DEEP recovery breaths while holding that position.
Some examples
1 After getting into a mobility pose, First, inhale through your nose and fill up your
belly with as much air as possible.
3 Slowly breath the air out of your lungs focusing on pushing through your belly
button make sure to breath out as much air as possible, but do it slowly.
4 Pause for 3-5 seconds after youve exhaled as much air as possible then REPEAT.
After you get in your 10 breaths, shake it out then get on with your day.
