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 Deadis 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.â€
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…â€
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.
