More About the Author

Hi I'm Dave Randolph, owner of IronBody Fitness, a small fitness center specializing in kettlebell training for general fitness, fat loss and strength and conditioning for people from all walks of life, specializing in working in the 40+ age group.

I've been training with and teaching kettlebells since September of 2002 and I've trained and taught with some of most well-known instructors in the business.
In addition I'm a 5th degree Associate Master in Shaolin Do kung fu having studied the art for over 20 years.

I started IronBody Fitness after being laid off from the I.T. field in late 2007 and have been busy bringing the art and science of kettlebell training to people in Louisville, Ky, Atlanta, Ga, Cincinnati, Oh. I was supposed to go to Iceland in May of 2010 but the volcanic eruption canceled that exurcion.

In addition to the Spartan Warrior Workout, I'm working on another book due out in January 2011 and have several other projects in the works including
a membership site for the SWW, http://spartanwarriorclub.com which should be up in the next few weeks.

This review is from: Spartan Warrior Workout: Get Action Movie Ripped in 30 Days (Paperback)

I really like the concept of this book. That is why i bought it. The good thing about the book is that it goes into full detail about every single exercise. The exercises take up about 85 percent of this book. What I dont like is when it comes to doing the actual programs there is very little instruction on how to decode the format they have it written in. There are things I get confused about when going through the program. If you want a book with a wide variety of programs and tons of knowledge about high inensity training. Go for mandf's 101 high intensity workouts for fast results.

I have spent 7 years in the army infantry, now I am a police officer trying to get onto the SWAT team, I do know a little bit about working out. Believe me when I say that this program IS BAD FOR YOU!!! you do the same exact workouts every day, you do a total body workout every day. It is working out 101 that you let your muscles rest after working them out, that's how muscles get bigger, you break them down(by working out), then you let them rebuild (by resting and eating properly). You are not supposed to do deadlifts every day. I was duped by this book and the reviews but don't buy it. Save your money and do the workout of the day (WOD) at crossfit.com.

Could of used better charts and pictures to explain some of the movements. Good information but only if you are aware of most of it before reading this material. Doesn't seem to have much focus but wondering around instead of a linear fashion. It is ok but requires more reading and going back and forth to understand then should be necessary for a book that is 128 pages long.
