The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss

In 1999, I made thrice-weekly pilgrimages from Princeton to Philadelphia where I trained at a gym called Maxercise. For the 45-minute workout that justi ed the trip, I was commuting more than two hours. Steve Maxwell, the owner of Maxercise, was a six-time Pan- American gold medalist in Brazilian jiu- jitsu (two world championships came later) and held a master's degree in exercise science. His clients ranged from the FBI and Secret Service to the Phillies and the Dodgers. His singular focus was on measurable results. If something didn't work, it didn't last long with Maxwell. I rst met kettlebells on a frigid winter evening in Maxercise's second- oor torture chamber. They were generally reserved for ghters and aspiring strong men. Most of the high-velocity kettlebell movements like "the snatch,"1 considered standard for training programs, didn't combine well with my injured shoulders. I abandoned kettlebells after two sessions.
