Gym Movement Training Protocol Success Stories

by adam on August 17, 2010

The Movement has turned the fitness world over on it’s head. While we are still in our early stage, we are seeing incredible changes in every person using the protocol.

It began when Frankie Faires released Gym Movement in February 2010.

Things sped up when I released Grip and Rip 2.1 in March 2010.

Now YOU are making things happen. You are the Movement.

The Gym Movement training system has brought you the following:

  • A simple metric to instantly find out if something makes you better or worse
  • The fastest muscle producing training system on the planet
  • Rapid fat loss without having to crush yourself daily on a treadmill or extreme dieting
  • A free flowing program void of set and rep charts with each person working completely within their own limits
  • A model which allows any person to pursue any goal
  • A system of training which resolves pain and injury, while allowing each individual to progress as fast as possible
  • A clear understanding of how progress occurs in the body and simple guidelines to use in order to reap maximum reward for minimal work
  • A community of science based trainers who are dedicated to making you better

At first we were challenged, we were taunted, we were cast out. We declared the world was round while the gurus argued it was flat.

The results continued to pour in, moving forward faster, and faster.

Now many things are changing rapidly.

Critics demanded, “Where is the proof!”  They proclaimed it is “impossible” to get better everyday. They claimed by faith they were right and all others were wrong.

We simply stated “Test it” and we left it to science.

We asked you to try it for yourself, and the early adaptors did not hesitate.

#Preveryday on twitter brings in real time progress, with a new update appearing every few minutes of someone doing better.

Everyday I receive a new email from someone who conquered a long set goal, self resolved a pain issue, or overcame an injury.

Everyday new PRs are posted on facebook, on Twitter, on Youtube. People who have trained for years are making the fastest progress of their life. I would like to share some brief videos and comments. These are typical results.

You are built to get better, there is no reason why you should train with any method which does not remain focused on your results.

 

David Dellanave, body weight 177 pulling 520lbs 2.9 x BW

“I went to the mountains to hike Colorado’s tallest peak this week (Mount Elbert, 14,433′). Its not a climb, just a long brutal hike. I’ve done it before in the past when I thought I was in good shape…ie training endurance until I was in a fetal position on the floor. I had the mindset that if I pushed harder in training, the event will become easier. Not the case.

I have cut short all of my sets in my endurance training (snatches, swings, LCCJ, etc) right when my tension/breathing increases and cannot be corrected. I havent trained to be out of breath since I found GM. Barely any distress at all.

During the ascent and subsequent descent I worked within my limits. I used to hike/climb hard until the breathing was labored, stop, rest and continue. This time I stayed at a pace in which my breathing and posture were not affected. I didn’t get short of breath and I got up and down the hike (11.2 miles roundtrip, 4850′ of elevation gain) in 4hrs and 25min. In the past (“younger and in better shape”) I would have a time around six hours.”

Gary Berenbroick body weight 155 pulling 405 2.5 x BW

“since Grip & Rip and GM Protocol, my left shoulder pain has disappeared. A couple of months ago I couldn’t take a shirt off without wincing in pain from my left shoulder, now I’m pressing and improving with light KBs everyday.”

Ron

Logan Christopher pulling 455 at a body weight of 180 2.57 x BW. Logan has also snatched a 24kg kettlebell an incredible 277 reps in ten minutes.

As a side note Logan has created the best kettlebell juggling product on the market, check it out here- Kettlebell Juggling

Click HERE to see what World Famous Kettlebell trainer Will Williams has to say about Grip and Rip the DVD.

“for those of you who may be new here and might think these results are atypical, you are dead wrong. I was at grip n’ rip with Dave last February. I weigh 180 as Dave does. I started deadlifting seriously about 8 months ago and could barely pull 300. Now my sights are set on 500 and I will pull it before 2011. I tried other “programs” in the past with deads, and quit because nothing helped me raise the weight on the bar. I have used GM religiously since Feb. and have seen increases in weight percentages like this in all my lifts. Quit fucking around, wasting money on all the gimmicks out there (I’ve bought some too!) and start something that works. Adam told me I would never buy another piece of training literature or program again. I called bullshit but can now honestly say I’m done with all of it. All I need is plates, a bar, KBs, and beef (and maybe Slayer).”

Dustin

Frank Berean Chin Up with 48kg at body weight of 242

“I added fifty frickin’ pounds to my deadlift the other day!  FIFTY POUNDS!  I used to go through a month long cycle to gain five or ten!  I don’t give a shit what anyone says, this way of going about things yields results.  My training journal is my proof.  My body and the way I feel is the only testimony I need.  I can’t wait for the cert next weekend!!!”

See what Santiago has to say after diving in with Gym Movement

2010 is the Year of Gym Movement

This is the start.

Everyday you can log on here and see the advancements of those who jumped first, but isn’t it time for you make the best progress of your life? Why wait and wonder when you can do it now.

On the 6th of Feb 2010 I taught the Grip and Rip workshop in Woodbury MN with fat loss expert Brad Nelson. In the course I covered the foundation of the Gym Movement Protocol. Brad covered fat loss and his proven method to lean out any client as fast as possible.

In May, we added additional blocks of instruction covering several new movements and included a quick start to make the process as clear and simple as possible.

The positive reviews continue to pour in week after week, such as these two HERE

I want you to make your best progress. I want you to lift pain-free. I want you make the best gains of your life.

Grip and Rip 2.1 is your ticket to the fitness fast track.

I look forward to your personal success story.

Badass chinup Frank. And this coming from a guy who couldn’t even do chins because of pain.

frank berean August 17, 2010 at 5:22 pm

Thanks david, yea I was in so much pain when I would try chins or pull ups. Its so damn easy using your bodies feedback. The hardest part to me is to pick what I want to do next and its as easy as that.

josh August 17, 2010 at 4:50 pm

I just did my measurements post-cert. 4″ on my skinny little thighs and 3″ on my chest. And I LOST two pounds.

Also, 50+ pounds on my front squat. There’s more, but I’ll stop there.

Gary J Berenbroick August 17, 2010 at 6:09 pm

Thank you guys, it’s inspiring to grow along side you all

Since the cert in April…

405 lb Deadlift (+20lbs)
563 lb Rack Pull (+90lbs)
80lb Side Press (+15lbs)
160lb BB Clean & Press (+25lbs)

new lifts
Pinch lift 32.5 Blob X 2/1 and 25lb block X 5/5
Plate Curl 25lbs X 1/1
2″ Deadlift 223lbs

This is with me not being able to train almost three out of the four months because I was sick.

It’s too bad this doesn’t work.

Dave,

I will congratulate you ever time I see that

Frank,

That’s a miracle

Logan,

You are spectacular on many levels

josh August 17, 2010 at 7:54 pm

Gary, awesome work. And by the way, I have never rack pulled as much as you have. It is too bad that this doesn’t work.

Ron August 17, 2010 at 8:03 pm

I’m mostly doing bodyweight stuff, chinups/pushups and relatively light KB work, but my graphs are all showing improvements in the couple of months since starting GM.
Congrats to Dave, Gary, Logan, and Frank. Strong work.
The progress I’ve had so far with GM is so inspiring; I find myself contemplating new challenges for myself I never considered before. I may get into grip training so I can rip phone books or a deck of cards like Adam.
I’m also working on a protocol to train specifically for a rowing competition, which is all out legs and back for about 7 minutes.
The sky is the limit!

josh August 17, 2010 at 8:58 pm

That rowing competition sounds pretty serious. How did you get interested in that?

Ron August 17, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Josh,
I’ve always admired the fluid movement of rowing. I also admire the physical demands of rowing; rowers have among the highest VO2 max’s of all athletes. And I also admire their physiques; no cachetic marathon runner’s body here, they all have strong legs and strong arms.
I sought out and trained with a former 2 time Olympic medalist (Xeno Muller) and trained for the World Indoor Rowing Championships, the CRASH-Bs. I chose indoor rowing, since I don’t live near a large body of water that would allow me to train regularly on water.
I had a blast at the competition last February and blasted my PR and had nothing left in my tank at the end.
Looking to blast my PR again with GM protocol, and eager to learn more about GM for short term endurance training, ~ 6 minutes of all out effort.
Adam and Dave have been invaluable and as I wrote earlier, the sky is the limit, and most importantly, it is fun!

Tomas August 17, 2010 at 10:30 pm

I’ve done away with almost all chronical pain in my groin muscles. I’m recovering the correct hip extension movement pattern as I test glute activation exercises. Gurus offer cookie cutter plans to restore correct movement patterns, not good!

Everyday I see something getting better- even if it’s just one rep.

Casey August 18, 2010 at 1:18 am

I’ll have a one arm pull-up within 3 months thanks to biofeedback and everyone in The Movement.

Kris Wragg August 18, 2010 at 9:00 am

Getting a bodyweight pinch at this latest grip competition is probably my favourite achievement so far, I really didn’t believe it when it happened!

Much thanks to Adam for his coaching recently and gym movement for all its help over the last 6 months in SO many areas of my life!

Next target is to get the highest BW to pinch ratio, I think 125% BW would be a nice target to hit long term!

Christian August 19, 2010 at 12:16 pm

add me in at a 2.14Xbw deadlift at 140lbs

josh August 19, 2010 at 12:57 pm

Nice!

Darryl Lardizabal August 19, 2010 at 1:29 pm

I’m at 2.66xbw deadlift at 156. That was standing on 10lb plates, so it’s probably a bit higher – that was within 2 weeks from my video of 2.58xbw deadlift at 157. Increased by 10lbs.

adam August 19, 2010 at 4:41 pm

I was looking for your youtube video of that pull, please post your YT channel so I can find it

Darryl August 24, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Apolaki Fitness is my channel. Haven’t put a lot of videos yet.

Tomas August 19, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Biofeedback doesn’t work. Of course it doesn’t! *sarcasm*

mike sheehan August 19, 2010 at 7:20 pm

mike sheehan August 19, 2010 at 8:22 pm

great job to all of the above truly amazing results awsome shit

josh August 19, 2010 at 9:41 pm

My brother in law was one of my case studies. He went from a soft 171 to a fitness-magazine-ready 192 in four months. He also put 21 pounds on his deadlift in the last 5 weeks and will easily be pulling 500 soon.

Seeing him progress has been one of my favorite things in the last year. When someone starts doing it and it really clicks, I enjoy their progress every bit as much as my own. And I don’t get the credit, he gets it because he figured out what he needed!
