Former Navy and now current Army officer (Engineer) at the moment. Thanks to Rob Shaul’s program I’m a heck of a lot stronger than I’ve been in years – even stronger than my days as a collegiate boxer.

Mountain Athlete’s actually been where I’ve created my series of circuit workouts I dub ‘Mojave Madness’…

This and Gym Jones will kick anybody’s ass. I love it!

Did you say “washed up athlete”. Oh man does that ring true and it’s so disappointing. If I’d kept up my regimen from high school, I would be in fantastic shape right now.

Luckily though, muscle memory and a little maturity make the physical challenges of getting older a little easier to deal with. For example, I started running 5Ks a couple months ago and it took me only 3 weeks to train for the first one. I’ve been shaving my time since. I’m no way in the shape I was 16, but I’ll take it an age group at a time.

@Marc,

I agree, it’s been amazing to see how open and eager Rob is to teach random people doing his workouts. I’m always impressed at the depth and thought with which he answers his e-mail questions regarding various workouts.

Congrats on doing the hybrid workouts for a year! As someone who is constantly getting my rear handed to me by the workouts I am impressed with anyone who can keep up with the program for more than a few weeks.

Rob does a great job and is incredibly generous with his time. I’ve been doing his hybrid workouts for a year and they’ve whipped me into the best shape I’ve ever been in.
