In August 2008 in the US we will be running a 3 day athlete training camp and challenge. During these three days successful applicants will be given the opportunity to be trained by KSI coaches, and participate in a challenge to determine the 'KSI Champion Athlete 2008'.  This will be determined on a holistic assessment, not simply a physical one.

Who should attend? If you answer YES to all the below questions you will find this experience invaluable!

1. Do you use the KSI way in your training and as result of the great results you have achieved become a strong advocate of our approach?
2. Do you train seriously with a specific training and or competitive goal in mind?
3. Do you see the value of being exposed to the top KSI coaches in the world all together in the one place?

Applications are invited from current KSI clients who train seriously in any physical sport or endeavor. You must have a strong commitment to training and achieving your goals. If you would like to be sent out an application form email us with a request to have one sent out to you via email. In this email please outline your involvement with KSI and how you have been implementing the KSI way in your training.  The camp will be held between Mon 25 and Wed 27 August 2008 inclusive.

Look forward to working with some of you at this event!

KSI Coaching Program

 

On June 6 2008 we started the 2008 KSI CIP 102 Tele-conference Series!
 

Mike, Thanks, the call yesterday was great! Since I've never been part of a conference call prior I didn't know what do expect but I liked it very much and it helped me to see information that I thought I understood in a different light. I wrote over 3 sheets of paper of notes that I will work through again until next Friday.  All the best!
--Andi

 

The KSI CIP 102 is an 8 wk, once a week Teleconference training session that includes supporting material, some of which is only available through registration in this course.

The pre-requisite for
registration in the KSI CIP 102 is successful prior completion of KSI CIP 101.

For more information about the KSI CIP 102 click here.

Successful prior completion of KSI CIP 101 and 102 are pre-requisites for registration in the KSI CIP 103, to be held in Park City in August 2008 - a program that has been often imitated but never duplicated!

If you plan to join us for this annual life-changing event you will need to complete the 101 and 102 prior to August 2008.
Join us in August 2008 in Park City!

Speed Specialization SeriesWhat's in the program?
A brief overview
 

The Speed Specialization Series is part of the four program specialization series - giving in-depth content on the four dominant physical qualities - flexibility, speed, strength and endurance. It is the first time this program has been available in DVD. 

Speed Specialization Series 
In this program you are going to learn:
 
* The role of speed in injury prevention and performance enhancement
* Where KSI places this physical quality as the order of importance of all physical qualities
* Understanding the sub-qualities of speed that so many mistakenly treat as a dominant quality.
* How to develop a speed program, including all areas of consideration - periodization of speed included
* How to do and teach a full range of speed exercises
 
Speed Specialization SeriesThis program aims to teach those who wish to take their professional abilities way above the rest of the pack.
 

How can you expect to get a better result with your athletes than the coach or trainer beside you if you use the same ideas as they are?

 
As with all KSI material - this stuff has been tested and refined in the real world over decades!
 

Speed Specialization SeriesHere's more of the things you will learn that will separate you from the pack:

 
* When speed training needs to be specific and when it doesn't 
* How to individualize a speed training program
* How to assess speed in an individual - no, not how fast but how well you move!
* What speed sub-qualities you may need to develop in different athletes or sports
* How to make a speed drill effective rather than simply giving out speed drills - this is critical!
* When to use specificity and why it is over-used and over-rated in speed training (as with most training for sport!)
 
You will not find a more powerful learning experience on this topic anywhere!
 
How can you expect to get a superior result to your competition if you are training the same way they are?!
 

This program is packed solid with content from a two (2) day seminar.

http://www.kingsports.net/productsksi.htm#Flexibility_Specialization-vid/dvdWho is this program aimed at?
Athletes, coaches and athletes
 
This level of content is aimed at professional seeking to take their competency to a higher level, and also provides another opportunity to master the KSI methods.
 
The program is a 2 day seminar edited down to 9 hours - few can provide this amount of content, and even fewer can provide the power of the message contained.
 
If you apply these methods your investment will be returned in multiples.
What others have said after watching this program!
 

Ian, The speed and agility DVDs are great! I am currently using them with some high school teams. If I want to be the best I have to learn from the best!

--Matt

 
Once you see this you will never look at speed training the same way! It's easy to understand, fun to watch, and exceptional teaching material. I owe my ability to teach speed to this Speed Specialization program!
--Miguel Charles
This is the best speed footage I have ever seen and I believe I own most that are out on the market!
--Bryan
 
I just finished your DVDs and your books, and after working with every known person in this world, your books are the best! I highly recommend them to everybody - every trainer, lifter or athlete should have the collection.

Is this footage in any other DVD?
Helping you avoid duplication
 
No. The footage from this program is completely unique, and is not included in or taken from any other KSI program. You may have seen some poor imitations...but not the original source!
Confirming DVD-R Comparability
Giving you clarity and user tips
 
There are three things we want to share with you about the format of these DVDs.
Firstly, they are only available in NTSC. That is, in the American format. If you live in a country that uses the PAL format, make sure your DVD player or computer can play NTSC before ordering.

Secondly, these DVDs are in the DVD-R format. Make sure your DVD player states on the machine or in the user manual that is plays DVD-R. We want you to be very clear on this before you order. Use the link below to gain more information on whether your DVD player will support DVD-R. (note this web site may not be up-to- date and therefore may not contain your machine) It also contains an explanation of what DVD-R is.

Thirdly, some tips on handling DVD-R. From the moment you receive your DVDs we encourage you to treat them with care.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of this DVD:

1. Handle the DVD with care - avoid scratching or getting marks on the shiny surface of the DVD.
2. If you are experiencing a freeze frame where the DVD stops playing, try pressing Stop then Play again. Or rewind a few seconds, then hit Play again.
3. The newer the DVD machine you are using, the less challenges you will have with the DVD. If you have any challenges, try the DVD in a different and newer machine.

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
