    Sorry guys, if this has already been posted/asked by someone else before. But I really did search for a thread on this and couldn't find one.
    Anyway. I just started reading the stuff on that training program called "15 minute hell" or whatever. I'm pretty sure its done by the same guy who sells the widely criticized program "Fear No Man" or "Accelerated Battlefield Combatives." I know there are people on here who have genuinely benefited from the Fear No Man stuff, with the proviso that they ignored all the clap trap in the advertisements. So I was basically wondering the same thing about this "revolutionary" workout system. Has anyone here on MAP criticized it after trying it? I don't mean that in an offensive way. I mean that in a serious way. I'd really like to know if anyone has used this workout and got some serious gains or if they found that it was a waste of time.
    Obviously i'm expecting the usual, "its just garbage," comments, and to be honest, I wont blame you guys either. As of yet, i'm thinking that until I can hear some proper testimonials that aren't typed up by someone who's selling the product.
    Any first hand feedback would be very much appreciated.

    You too, can develop your synical views of it here.

    LOL!

    $127 for a book? No thanks.

    This guy obviously knows every secret out there... Secret fight, and secret to be "totally ripped".

    Hell, try it out if you want. If they offer a money back guarantee then try it out. Just make sure that you actually try it out the minute you get it. If you dont see the kind of results he "promises" then send it back sharpish.

    The reason these guys always offer a money back guarantee is because firstly the credit company makes them, and secondly, because they know that no one actually uses it. Anyone that buys that kind of stuff (myself included at one point) isnt really wanting to get fit, they just want to buy the "dream" of getting in great shape quickly and "easily".

    No, I've never tried it and never will. The way in which it's advertised would have me running a mile! Scuze the pun. ;) I can't help but think that if there was any substance to their program they wouldn't need to hide behind so much loud guff. Seriously, the whole website reads like a hyperactive salesman on steroids.

    If you want a killer workout in just four minutes, google Tabata. Do something like burpees, squats (either light weights or even bodyweight), sprinting or thrusters.

    In fact, I'm feeling kind, so have yourself a link: :D

    Best thing about it is it's quick, free and can be done with no special equipment.

    Wow. Thats a very interesting way to put things. Yourself included? Do you mean when you bought the fear no man stuff?

    Yeh, I used to always look for things like that to buy. Thank god I'm poor or I would have every poorly advertised product on the internet.

    I thought you were saying in another thread that you thought the Fear No Man stuff was pretty good?

    It isnt that bad. Good instruction on some nice locks, holds etc. I like the method of teaching in it aswell.

    So you'd reccommend the fear no man, but the 15 minute hell thing looks like a bit of a fap?

    I'd recommend going to a class. No point in buying dvds.

    No on all counts. Nuff said.

    I bought it. I'm sending it back. It's nothing more than a collection of calisthenics, most of which you will find on the net for free or in books that contain many times more useful information, for a fraction of the cost. You want a whole heap of barbell, bodyweight and strongman exercises, for less than you buy for this 1 hour DVD? See www.strongerman.com

    In short, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT.

    I'm sure any decent MA instructor could come up with their own version of 15 minutes of hell drill work.

    Why do all these advertisements have a similar site layout and graphics? Is there some ratbag out there who specialises in writing this crap? I think we should be told. Incidentally, if you ever want a real 15 minutes of hell (and I suggest you don't- it's much better to exercise productively within your limits), drop me a PM. We have ways of making you puke.

    Anyone can make somebody puke, it's making it more productive than another person can that makes you knowledgable about fitness or a coach.

    KE - Yeah, I think the same web designer sells it to different people, I heard that Kubrik used the same web chump as Matt Furey for his new uberamazingexpensiveashell BW book.

    Yes there is - there's a marketing guy that sells a cookie cutter approach to sales copy for "fitness experts". Its basic elementary stuff (from a marketing point of view) but it helps sell therefore you're going to see the same themes over and over again.
