To those who have either tired of the merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit, or those who perhaps due to instinctual perceptiveness bypass this mass behavior, and seek material resonant for its message, rather than influenced because that is what so many others are or appear to be doing...

I say when the wise speak, listen. I understand this is easier said than done, as your senses are cluttered with marketing claims of ‘the best in the world’, ‘internationally renowned’, ‘gets results faster than anyone’ and other usually self appointed adjectives aimed at creating the perception of greatness.

If you have followed my work long enough you would have realized that relative to this marketing largess  engaged in by many, we say little and do a lot. That is our goal. Not only to under promise and over deliver, but to sacrifice short term gain on the marketing merry-go-round to indentify the truly committed , whose paths, journey and search has resulted in them knocking on the door of KSI. Rather than a red flashing light drawing the masses for short term visits and a quick emptying of the pockets.

That’s my disclaimer. Now for the message.

It is rare when the wise speak, especially those consciously or otherwise influenced by Taoism.  For at this level of consciousness, it is often considered that ‘he who cannot do teaches’;, or ‘he who doesn’t speak and he who speaks doesn’t know’; or  ‘the loudest trumpet is often the emptiest vessel’.  (In some cases in this industry it is difficult to deny these ancient wisdoms!)

For those who are ready to go beyond the BS of mainstream marketing –I am going to give you an opportunity to learn from a man who I describe as wise and who knows, by his ability to do, at the highest level.  There are two parts to this statement.

Firstly. For those who are ready to go beyond the mainstream BS. I have learnt through my years of being a student and observer that it’s easy to get attention. Stand on the sidewalk and look up and point at something in the sky. Someone will wonder what you are doing and do the same. The more that do this, the more feel they too should be doing this.

Anyone willing to talk crap, be sensationalist and use other techniques or claims to gain attention can taken advantage of this human nature. If you are still at that stage of discerning where this seems the way to go, you may not be ready. I speak to those who have either tired of the merry-go-round of mainstream marketing bullshit, or those who perhaps due to instinctual perceptiveness bypass this mass behavior, and seek material resonant for its message, rather than influenced because that is what so many others are or appear to be doing.

Secondly, you are constantly being told by excellent marketers in this industry about their greatness, so I choose my words carefully. I do not want to align or associate with this shallow, self-serving but highly seductive word selection.  I will scrape by with this statement – I have been a student professional for nearly 3 decades and a student for life of performance in sport.  I have worked with and achieved success with athletes at a volume and frequency few have the opportunity to do. I can spot the bullshit from the real deal. Enough said? (if I continue I fear I might get too revealing about the relationship between your perception of greatness as created by marketing, and actual competency based on historically measureable events….like the time I got an email listing a certain industry writer as one of the greats….hold it, I said I wasn’t going to go there….)

There are very few who seek excellence. Most seek to serve the ego, and this gets in the way of excellence.  There is no correlation between marketing and competence. You will hear me say that time and time again. (So much so that I suspect my best imitator could be making this statement as their own in just a few months!)

The time has come to reveal that for the first time ever you can learn from a coach that has met my expectations and continues to work within and contribute to the way of KSI. His name is Mitchell Kochonda, and if you have not heard of him that’s okay, because like I said…there is no correlation between marketing and competence…

He has chosen to share his wisdoms in a monthly audio series he has titled ‘Sharpen Your Mind’ commencing January 2010 and running for the 12 months of 2010. You can subscribe to this audio download either monthly or yearly.  The monthly is recurring for the 12 issues unless cancelled, and the yearly subscription is a one off investment. We have created special KSI Forum Members and KSI Coaches / DTI member rates, which you will learn of by clicking on the appropriate links below.

The content is aimed to enlighten, educate and inspire you, and also give you insights into the thoughts of a person who has achieved the rare distinction of graduating from the KSI Coaching Program and being recommend by myself. That’s a rare combination. The most common group are the 18 Month Information Age Black Belts (but more on this another day…). His continuous commitment to mastering the KSI way dates back more than 10 years.

The content of this audio series is, consistent with all KSI teachings, holistic. Not lip service holistic, like the industry writer who throws one line or one exercise in as a token demonstration of awareness. Truly holistic – physical preparation based, with equal attention in volume and quality to health, personal, professional, financial and business development.

Audios offer a medium of learning not shared by books, and is a learning tool that many of us do not exploit to the fullest. Driving in a car, travelling in any form by yourself, offers an excellent opportunity to immerse in auditory learning.  A common cynical criticism at the need for repetitive exposure to personal development is rebuffed by Zig Ziglar who asks why the same criticism is not aimed at the need to wash the body daily!

This is your opportunity to place in your mind, and in your education library, a series of auditory sharing’s from one of the truly wise and competent coaches, so rarely heard amongst the clutter of over-inflated mainstream marketing.

With only weeks to go to the New Year there is never a better time than NOW to take action and increase your rate of self-fulfillment through the education and inspiration provided by the ‘Sharpen Your Mind’ Audio Series!

Mitchell - I loved the interview!  For me, to hear all that I’ve studied from KSI stated from an experiential and practical point of view, the end user athlete, is a wonderful kickoff to your audio series.  I’ve been absorbed in the abstract of theory quite long such that the concretes from your athlete in terms of results, before and after KSI, were very dramatic. 
 
One thing grabbed me, Mitch, a 1 ½ hr. stretching session before lower body w/o?  My KSI educated guess would be that was what this particular athlete needed at that particular time?
Looking forward to your series in the coming New Year, Mitchell.

Barbells & Bullshit
Challenging the way you think
Live, Un-Cut & Un-Censored!

How did you come to your conclusions about how to train? Did you develop these beliefs in an unbiased environment, free of pressures to conform to certain ways of thinking and doing? Or did you develop your beliefs based on the influences and pressures you have been exposed to? Have you ever stopped to think about this? Why is it important? Do you have a choice as to what to think and do? What’s the best way to think and to? What is the price to pay if I am nothing more than a collection of other people’s opinions?

These are the questions posed and answered in this ground breaking program we have chosen to call ‘Barbells and Bullshit’.

The title was selected to ram home the point that quite simply you are being exposed to a lot of bullshit, and too much of it is being absorbed.

Before you get concerned that this is coming from a point of ‘holier than thou’ you will be quickly reminded in this program that what you choose to think and do is your truth, your reality. And that is respected. But is it really you? Or is it, and therefore you, simply a collection of thoughts and actions that are other people’s?  Are you nothing but yourself, or are you a collection of others?  If that is so, are you fulfilling your potential be being little more than a collection of other people’s thinking?

In pursuing these questions and answers, we look into the way in which you may be influenced in your thinking and doing, and why these influences exist. We will talk about religion, science, commercial gain, short-term cash flow and ego – because for reasons such as these most of us, at some stage in our life and maybe still today, have had our thinking shaped.

This program offers you a life-line to become more of yourself, and to fulfill your innate potential. If that is what you want. 

This is an important point because the easiest thing for you to do is to be what others what you to be. To go with the flow, to hide amongst the masses, not stand out in any way.  It will take a lot more effort to thing and do differently to the masses, and different or even contrary to the dominant pressures and influences in our industry, sub-culture and broader society.

It is a reflection of the broader choices in life we make between what we may initially perceive as security versus freedom.  Those who seek the security of the masses may soon learn that they really are not free – not free to think for themselves, and not free to do what they believe is the way to do things in training.  And they may soon learn that this is also not a secure position, for reasons including the continual change of trends and therefore expectations on you to ‘be’ and ‘do’ continually changes things – at the whim of others.

And those who seek to be free face the reality that initially this not at first feel secure, however as they progress in this direction they may either flee back to their prior perception of ‘security’, or soldier on, finding that that they have more security in this realm than those who they have left behind have. The illusion of freedom and security may not be all you initially think it is.

As we progress down this journey of understanding how and why you think and do what you do, and how you can do it differently, we focus on practical real world situation, including the influence you you have when you design your own program or design a program for a client.

As part of this we go deeper into at least one aspect of program design and that is how and why you select any given strength exercise.

We also take a broader view and look at the dominant influences and trend in training method and equipment.

Within the area of influencing on training methods, we focus on the treatment of the physical quality flexibility, putting on the table some thoughts that may challenge you current values and beliefs.

Within this physical quality an even more specific focus is placed on one flexibility method, again potentially threatening the values that you may been influenced to adopt.

From there we go back to strength training and look at the influences on why and how strength exercises are taught.

In the DVD program there is additional content taking one specific teaching model (the squat) and digging deeper into influences on how you teach this exercise. Again, more challenges to your current thinking perhaps.

How you learn and how you choose your teachers is also discussed, and the implications of this. There is some content here that really touches on the latter part of title of the program – bullshit.

You are then given exposure into the KSI way of teaching, from those who have experienced it. Like most in the industry, the KSI experience was not their first educational experience so they speak from experience.

We conclude with a brief discussion about what the future may hold, as we approach the watershed year of 2012.

This program was recorded live, uncut and uncensored. Which brings with it the reality and passion of a live performance, and the added benefits of real people, real examples. Being live means it lacks studio quality perfection in lighting and sound.  This is the trade-off.

DISCLAIMER

Not only was it a live program, it was recorded during the KSI Annual Training Camp 2009 – in this peak and intense environment, where coaches and athletes have travelled from all around the globe to further their potential. This is a no-holds-barred environment.

This ‘no-holds- barred’ reference is NOT lip service. There is no smoke and mirrors about this. What this means if you are a certain type of person, YOU SHOULD NOT INVEST IN THIS PROGRAM. People who we suspect should not give themselves exposure to this program include:

a.       a. Minors (under-age)
b.       b. Those offended by coarse language or the occasional adult concept.
c.       c. Those who hold their current values and beliefs dogmatically.
d.       d. Those who are just plain sensitive – for whatever reason.
e.       e. Politically and socially ‘correct’ people.
f.        f. Fundamentalists in any religion.
g.       g. Anyone else who might take offense for whatever reason.

This is the final point we are going to say in this aspect of our disclaimer – when one is performing at the top of their potential – be it in the sporting or business arena – word selection typically differs from those who are performing at a more mediocre level.

Other aspects of our ‘warning’ is that is a live shoot, not a studio shoot – and that means the lighting and audio is not perfect. Having said that it’s pretty good.

KSI Coach Intern Program (CIP)

Barbells and Bullshit is a great program! I have both the dvd and the audio program and I am nearly finished my first review of them. Besides being very funny, you demonstrate in a practical way what it means to think about the decisions you make. While this is uncommon, some (few) people do this in other areas. I think what makes your method unique is that you ask the question "why do you think this way", rather than just saying "think", and that is a big question, one that most people do not want to even fathom, let alone tackle. So I was impressed about how far back in time and how wide in society you were prepared to go to make the point about where the influences on our thinking come from. And one of the biggest influences that you mentioned many times before and again in B&B is the dominance of scientific empiricism, as opposed to intuition, in Western world thinking.
--George

Received in the post today. Thank you very much! The audios for excellent for driving around in the car. They also look great - the colors, the disc’s themselves look excellent! You did a great job in production. The DVD’s are great visual viewing. and the thick cases also stand out on the book shelf!
--Mitchell Kochonda, KING Coach

Received the package today! I was there, I've seen it live, I knew what to expect - and still after just 20min into the first DVD I was shocked how good it is. this will keep me up the next few nights!
--Andi Scheicher, KSI CMP Coach

Almost finished the Audio, mind blowing content and I was there for the first hand experience. Now I have the DVD & audio it has reminded me of points that I would have left in Utah. Thank you Ian for your honesty!
--Carl

Ian’s life-long commitment to building an unprecedented physical development legacy shines like no other DVD I have seen from the KSI Library. How KSI came to concluding an appropriate price tag for this is perhaps the greatest challenge. Years and years of passion, belief, focus and commitment to producing the greatest physical results with some of the most dedicated coaches and athletes around who demand nothing but the best. Such an environment is not truly gratified until you have seen the footage. From every strength exercise you have performed, every stretch, or injury you have or have had. Your values and beliefs you have adopted toward the whole training triangle are challenged to an extent that demands change - PERIOD. This is a DVD that will serve incredible value for those wise enough to invest and take on this physical development changing content. Thank you Ian King and all involved in producing this content.
--Anthony

Ian, I have received my copy of Barbells & Bullshit, thanks! The production looks fantastic ( case and cover)! Very unique relative to the many in my library! I benefitted massively from the energy of the live experience - as I'm sure those in attendance can attest to. The live experience, because of the myriad of variables so carefully gauged, leaves an incredibly positive impression - it's impossible to duplicate.

The true value in the DVDs and Audio is the opportunity to watch, listen and learn through repetition - and believe me there are so many subtle nuggets in between the blunt, "in your face" dialog you may wear out your rewind button picking them up! I greatly appreciate the honest and original material you have developed and continue to bring to the industry!
--Mike Pimentel

I'm glad Ian released the B&B program. The content is invaluable for anyone who wants to be a critical thinker. I look forward to the release of the books!
--George

Feedback on various aspects of KSI
 

Share with you what I have gained from buying the HTT Strength Exercises DVD

 

Ian, I would like to share with you what I have gained from buying the HTT Strength Exercises DVD. First off, let me say that I am not an aspiring coach (yet), but just a regular trainee. But why did I purchase this DVD then? Well, I hoped to get some visual coaching from the world's best as well as learn about the way he likes to see the exercises performed. Were these expectations met? Most certainly, I would say! T

 

His DVD series is full of many so many valuable tips and techniques and I feel as if you are teaching them to me directly which is great! After applying the way you like to perform the squat and deadlift for example, I feel that during the lift I am much more stable and in control. In addition to that, I get a better muscle recruitment and the uncomfortable strain in my back I used to experience is gone. The same things apply for all the other exercises, fantastic! I am confident that the content on this DVD means another step of improvement to my training, if not a leap, and recommend it to everyone, trainer or trainee, as seeing Ian work is really fascinating.

--Steffen. Germany

 

The information in your book is really and truly fantastic!

 

Ian, The information in your book is really and truly fantastic!  My workouts have changed a lot because of your programs with fantastic results.  My volume has decreased dramatically, but with amazing results.  I feel not so tired and over trained any more.  I have a high stress sales job and by just cutting the volume of workouts down has really made a huge difference.  Also your training tips and rehab are such valuable tools.  I look forward to getting some of your other great books.

--Mike, USA (aka new found energy!)

 

Thank you for the personal birthday message I received!

 

I have to just say thank you for the personal birthday message I received with my book and audio cd in which I bought from you guys, it was very thoughtful and it made my day today as something so small from someone I admire is amazing. I have to say thank you to you Ian and your good wife Teresa as she is most helpful when emailing about orders, and I always get a personal touch.  Once again thank you very much for the unique and exceptional service.  Wish you all the very best.
--David, UK
 

I find your service impeccable.

 

I would like to reiterate that I find your service impeccable, the products are of great scientific and practical value. Your web site is both friendly to use and informative.  I am impressed by your email follow up, in a world where customer service is sadly lacking this separates you from the "also-rans".  I particularly enjoy your gifts and client tools, both of which make me feel like a valued client.  Great Stuff!
--Joe, USA

 

I have read Get Buffed book like 3 times and still learn something new!

 

Absolutely great products.  By now I have read Get Buffed book like 3 times and still learn something new from it.  Get Buffed 2 is also an outstanding product, the chapter on Eating to Get Buffed is a gem.  Anyone who is thinking that Ian's products are expensive let me tell you this, it's completely worth every cent.  Trust me you will not regret it.  You won't find this information on any other book on the market.  I have only made one order and I already feel they honestly care about me.  I will be placing my next order soon. Thanks for everything!

--Jorge, MX

I get the feeling that you really care about me!

As a customer, I get the feeling that you really care about me, which is in my eyes probably the best compliment you can give to a company
 
It's tough to say which part of KSI I like best because the entire concept of KSI, really teaching the world how to train with extraordinarily valuable products helping you to make your own mind up, as well as the customer service have appealed very much to me and are within themselves so holistic.

Therefore, my answer is that this (the holism) is exactly what I like most about your company. The downside- if you wish- is, from the perspective of a medicine student who does not really have time to execute a job other than university and has therefore limited funds, that your products are relatively high priced, but as they are completely worth every penny and contain so much information, I completely agree with this situation. What I am basically trying to say is that my hunger for more has steadily grown within the last weeks, but unfortunately, right now my financial status won't allow for as many investments as I would love it to. On the bright side, I have something to look forward to in the future, though!

I have communicated via email with Teresa, who has been very helpful for me in changing one detail on the address of my order which was incorrect prior to it's shipping. Furthermore, she held me up to date as far as the status of my order went and really cared for my opinion in your services, which was a very nice experience. I can only say positive things, and of those more than a mouthful, about your customer care (only this questionnaire shows it all).

I was really very positively surprised by the love and care you handle your customers with and enjoyed almost everything of those gifts.

Starting with the goodies contained in the package itself (your card, KSI candy), you just went on and on with free treasures, like the KSI Forum from which I have also learned a lot, the Checklist, that is a nice tool for charting progress on my road to knowledge, as well as the PCTP email series which might help me in optimizing my money handling.

If I had to pick a favorite among these, it would be the free membership in the Forum because one can interact with your coaches directly there.

You are exceptional in every aspect I can think of! As a customer, I get the feeling that you really care about me, which is in my eyes probably the best compliment you can give to a company. Your service is very friendly, charming and fast and your products are of high quality. So, I am really happy and proud to have the opportunity to be part of this! Thank you!
--Steffen

The knowledge I have gained is priceless

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to offer some constructive criticism about your services.

First let me start with the things I like. I consider you THE authority on training, rehab, flexibility!

I find your articles, books and products to be outstanding and you truly are the industry standard. With the knowledge I have gained from your products I have trainers at the gyms I go to asking ME for advice.

I love that you demystify the construction of an effective training program into something that is systematic and easy to comprehend. I could go on for ever about how much I like your products! The free gifts are very nice as well. It is amazing to me and of course appreciated that you are already offering an outstanding product at a reasonable price and on top of that I get free stuff!! Thank You!!

I also really appreciate the correspondence on your part after the point of purchase. I know from your e-mails and offerings that you sincerely want to see people like myself achieve our goals and it isn't just about you making money.

This reinforces my belief that if you do what you love and help people you will be rewarded far beyond expectation and you will be enjoying the process all the more.

In terms of what I don't like it is really just the difficulty of receiving your products. I live in the USA and it seems like forever waiting for your products to arrive. While I would acknowledge the geographic limitations involved, a solution might be to offer your books as printable e-books that can be instantly downloaded and printed out. I have been wanting to order get buffed (2,3,4) I liked 1 so much, but, I keep putting it off because I hate to spend 150.00 + shipping and STILL have to wait 3-4weeks. Again, I love your works and really appreciate your contribution to the sport and trainers like myself!

The knowledge I have gained is priceless and it is my dream and goal to one day be able to actually meet you and learn from you directly. Sincerely,
--Anthony

Stunned at how fast things get sorted out!

Mike, I got the e-book and have access to it. I have to say that I'm really stunned about how fast things get sorted out at KSI!
Thank you!
--Andreas

I'm going to receive so much value

Dear Team KSI, My order has arrived and I really think I'm going to receive so much value from the book like never before. Trust me I'm studying it enjoying it. Sincerely
--Antonio

So excited to get my order

I was so excited to get my order I had to Fed Ex it to my house, and I finished reading Get Buffed! in 2 days! And I hate reading! I love the book and I am doing the 12 week training program which seems to work so far, I'm starting phase two this week! I haven't started to read Get Buffed! 2 because I have a really busy university schedule, but I do plan on reading it soon, and probably will be ordering the next 2 books (Get Buffed 3 and 4) hopefully around Christmas. I love the books. Thanks for the great books Ian!
--Andrew

The Olympic Lifting DVD - just remarkable!

Dear Ian, Teresa and Team KSI - I have just received the Olympic Lifting DVD's and they are like every other product you have on the market. Just remarkable! Ever since I've been introduced to Ian and KSI I have been impressed not only of the Ian and KSI's products but their influence in the decisions I've made with some of my actions. I thank you
--Robert

It seems obvious that the low back problem was related to pelvic tilt.

I was having low back pain from squatting when I received your books. I tried the leg workout in Get Buffed with the idea that doing the single leg exercises would allow my back to recover while "not losing much strength". I was surprised(!!!) to learn that step ups, split squats and single leg presses were as hard as 10x10 squats with 365!

I also started stretching all the muscles around the hips seriously. It seems obvious that the low back problem was related to pelvic tilt...of course it only seemed obvious after I read about it in the book....

Last week I started squatting again and had only minor issues with my lower back. I am confident that these will go away as my flexibility increases.
Thanks again.
--Mike

More than 9 days earlier than expected!

I just wanted to let you know that the book found its way into my mailbox today- which was more than 9 days earlier than expected! Thank you very much for this high speed delivery, as well as the Get Buffed! book itself, which contains heaps of great information. I just want to start reading immediately! In addition to that, the candy included in the package tasted and looked really good! I am impressed with this high quality service and care.

Your very personal touch in every aspect of business is really something
that separates you from many others out there, keep it up! Have a nice day,
Steffen
--Steffen
P.S.: Just at this moment, I have found Ian's personalized business card in the book, what a nice surprise!

I continue to be amazed and pleased!

Thank you for getting back to me. I continue to be amazed and pleased with the amount of personal correspondence you give to people, it really underlines what I said in my feedback about how you have a real commitment to success, both personal and in terms of your clients and people like me.
Thank you again and YES!! I would gladly and enthusiastically recommend your services and products to ANYONE!! Thank you again!
--Anthony

KSI Product Checklist

A Great tool. I have most of your products. And it's reminded me to revisit them again... Beginning today! Thank you very much
--Danny

The Way book

I was elated to read in Way of the Physical Prep Coach that you intuitively banned music from your training sessions with athletes. I felt the same way but you're the first to discuss this that I've read. On the very rare occasion that my local gym had sound system issues and cut it off, I've had my best workouts ever. Smoother technique, better energy replenishment between sets, better focus....I'm not sure my clients appreciated it when I told them there'd be no music in my facility though!! Regards,
--Scott

I am definitely excited about your service

Teresa, Thank you very much for your quick reaction and processing, as well as this notification. I am definitely excited about your service and can't wait to hold the book in my hands! Have a nice day.
--Steffen

Things I like...

Things I like: I like the quick email response and the fact that Ian or Teresa emails back. This ensures that the response is very concise and descriptive.

KSI forum - found this the best. The KSI lollies are a nice treat! I found paycheck to passive really good-excellent!
--James

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your products and customer service!

I received GB 4 a good while ago—thanks for checking. I really appreciate not only the time and effort you put into your products but the excellent customer service.
--John
PS thank you for signing my GB 4!

The King of program design!

Dear Ian and Teresa, Having begun reading through GB 4 and since I've been re-reading/watching KSI materials in particular of recent, I basically wanted to offer my thanks and gratitude for introducing me to the best, most complete training methods I have still ever come across. The more I learn, the more I appreciate the work. The King of program design! All my best wishes for your family,
--Scott

I would strongly suggest viewing the Get Buffed! DVD!

I have the DVD to Get Buffed I, and all I can say is that a picture says 1000 thousand words. Before I complete the first workout in the new stage I watch the DVD for the workout and then watch it again. It helps to get the technique correct and thus the most out of the workout and because Ian does use some new exercises its helpful to have. So I would strongly suggest viewing the Get Buffed! DVD!
--Peter

Because of your BOM I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights.

Because of your BOM and the follow up advice I have received from this site. I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights.

I have been able to steadily increase my chin ups by using the suggestion you made of doing the balance on the lat machine. I do as many chin ups in a set as I can 5 as of today. Then I finish the set using as much weight as I can without sacrificing form or control. I just wanted you to know that because of your BOM and the follow up advice I have received from this site. I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights. I believe that by following your program I have strengthened up many weak areas and that is the reason for the strength gains. in other words I was trying to build a house with out a foundation or half the blue prints. Thanks for all the help can you think of any stretches that will help me get deeper when I squat. I have been stretching as others have suggested, but I was wondering about specific stretches. Also how do you think incorporating yoga into my weekly routine would work for the stretching at least three times a week for around 20-30 minutes.
--Troy
