Summary

Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist

You are strong or used to be.

You take pride in your all-around physical development—but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for a sport…

You have been around too long to be fooled by pop fitness “high intensity” fads.

The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you. A culmination of five years of research and experimentation, it distills cutting-edge science to a straightforward protocol of only two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups.

Q&D delivers. A highly ranked pro boxer sums up its effects: “I had even greater speed and explosiveness and I was able to maintain this for the whole match… I had gas to sell.”

A military special operator, on the wrong side of 40, reports: “a speed increase in all my powerlifts… pain relief in all of my injuries… an increase in my endurance while doing combatives… increased striking power…”

Q&D can be a minimalist’s stand-alone total training regimen—or be plugged into any athlete’s regimen. It takes only 12–30min, two to three times per week. Additional benefits may include:

· Increased testosterone

· Decreased cortisol

· Improved heart rate variability

· Reduced body fat

· Improved soft tissue quality

All this without getting “smoked”—because you need energy to fight, work, play, live.

Good Content but not ideal for audio

it delivers a simple training programme and has the science to back it. However I imagine it is easier to digest as a paperback. The science is interesting although not necessary if you just want to follow the programme. It is delivered very quickly though. The numbers come thick and fast, and although I would be able to follow the guidelines, I would have to listen again to understand what was best practice.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Headache to listen to Pavel’s voice and delivery

I admire Pavel and have seen his videos and podcasts. Bought this book but his tonality and style/pace of delivery is just atrocious. Can’t follow a word and am going to return it.
