Train Like Michael Phelps



Michael Phelps, arguably the greatest athlete of today, has his first book out since his record setting Eight Gold Medal winning performance at the Beijing Games.

Starting on page 123, Michael talks how weight training empowered him to take his performance to the World Class Levels needed to do what no one has been able to acomplish, till now. He states, “It was time to go out and race, the weight training obviously making a huge, huge difference in what I was now able to do (p. 148).”

Specifically, he mentions the “Box Squat” exercise. The box squat has been a core exercise for the BFS Total Program for over 30 years. We are the nation’s experts on the exercise. Phelps goes on to say (p.129) “In this race (200 free), the weight work I’d done really showed. I had more endurance. I could hold a stronger kick longer. The Dolphin kick had become more or less a fifth stroke. I now had developed incredible power off the turns… What once had been a vulnerability was now a killer asset.”

There’s a training secret from the best: perform the box squat weight workout. At BFS we have specifically engineered a 3-in-one training box for the box squat exercise. If your weight room does not have a BFS 3-in-one box, you can purchase one from our estore at this link: http://www.biggerfasterstronger.com/details.asp?pID=863&category=0&subcategory=0&size=0&search=box&page= or call the office at 800.628.9737.

We ship stock items within 48 hours. That means you can start working out next week and the effects could be demonstrated at this year’s state meet. An amazing fact about the box squat is that recovery time for the exercise is less than 20 minutes.

Order the box this week and I will provide you a link to the BFS Box Squat Training Video .

BFS is an athletic training system that helps take your athletes and program to the next level just like Phelps experienced. We have devised special programs ideally suited for your athletes to develop the explosive power and muscle endurance Michael reports in his book.
