Barbells & Bullshit (the book) - very entertaining, hilarious, gut-wrenching and scary
Ian, Great book... ...keeping me up late. Very entertaining, hilarious, gut-wrenching and scary as you unfold the reality of this industry, while pairing it with guidance to a conscious way of thriving in the field of physical preparation and life.
Also, you have brilliantly made the book very interactive, which I assume was done purposely, and adds to the suspense and overall enjoyment. Thank you once again,
--Ryan
Thank you again for over delivering
Ian, Thank you again for over delivering. Enjoyed the bonus Legacy Tour DVD with your new 'B&B' publication. I've been wanting to learn the power clean, and your add on offer was just what I needed.
Of particular interest in the Legacy DVD, was the squat episode. Your explanation of how form relates to performance in sport as well as transfer was particularly insightful.
You have developed a keen eye, indeed. Also, I appreciated the contrast between sport and fitness. Thank you for you all your work over the years.

Made me chuckle and think of the Barbells & Bullshit lectures
Hi Ian, I just read a book on Zen sayings. One story made me chuckle and think of the Barbells & Bullshit lectures; I've reproduced it below. I
thought you might appreciate it. Regards,

The story is told of Mara, the God of evil, watching with his students a
man discovering a piece of paper with a truth written on it. The
students asked Mara, "How can you sit there with that big smile on your
face? Can't you see what just happened? That man has just discovered a
truth." Mara smiled and said, "Don't worry, just watch and see. Soon he'll make a dogmatic belief out of it."
Just wanted to say thank you
Coach King, Just wanted to say thank you for you help. I actually started my semester at the German Sport University Cologne a week ago. I am happy to say that even my classmates talk about you and your programs. Its awesome here Coach King all of our studies are 50-50. That means the first half we learn in class than the next half we apply that science to the human performance labs we have here. The facilites here are second to none. As students we have to develop our own projects ofcourse.
I definatly plan on using some of the techniques I have learned from you to test athletes. Speed is my specialty, along with American Football. I cant wait to come up with new and creative ways to get Athletes better. Let me just say that how flexibility is completely ignored in American training couldnt be farther from the truth and I plan on changing that. I will be making a video for family and fellow collegaues showing the Campus and the Labs we have here. If you would like I could send you a copy.
Thanks for all your influence and knowledge Coach King, you are truly one of the world's best.
