Rating: Summary: The Drills In This Book Are Incredible! Review: Before this excellent book came out, very few people knew how strong and athletic Coach Davies is. Now everyone will know! The drills in this book are both unique and I have no doubt that they will be very beneficial to extreme athletes. Naysayers will say that many of the exercises in the book are not practical and will not carry over to extreme sports. Ask them how long they have been surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. Furthermore, ask them how many extreme athletes they have trained. It is clear that every exercise in this book is well thought out and has been tested in the lab. In addition to being a manual of killer exercises, Coach Davies reveals several programs so that you have a clear idea of how to put all of the intense exercises together. Whether you are an extreme athletic or someone who simply wants to take his or her training up a huge notch, get this book.
Rating: Summary: The best sports conditioning book I've ever read! Review: Coach Davies takes extreme sports conditioning to the next level in this book. He introduces techniques that even the pros can't do on their first *100* tries! Coach Davies excites the reader to start training by introducing a program that defies all preconceived ideas of working out. The content of the book is laid out very lucidly, and the multitude of pictures show even the newest grom how to work out 'Renegade Style'. Coach Davies walks you through every exercise, then gives a recommended training program, which, instead of vaguely laying out "this many reps on this day of the week," details SIX WEEKS of specific daily workouts. This takes the book to a higher level than most fitness books that give you a general idea of how to work out, but don't suggest a workout plan. This is not only the book for getting better at surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, or skateboarding, but it is a book for anyone who wants to get better balance and feel healthier!
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: The stuff Coach Davies does in this book is awful. I mean I cried I was so mad. How in the world can he do close grip snatches on a stability ball when I can barely stand up for prolonged periods of time? This book is a huge ego-checker. If you are into extreme sports and serious about your training, this book is a must have.

If you are serious about your conditioning levels the investment that is required for this book is simply a giveway. thank you Coach Jamie Hale www.maxcondition.com
