"Ferocious Fitness is a how-to-kick-ass manual for anyone who wants to take their training to the next level. Phil Ross speaks with an authority backed by over 30 years of experience in martial arts and fitness, tested in combat around the world. These pages reveal an authenticity and a science that will forever change your workout routine.”
—Frank Shamrock, 5 x UFC and Strike Force World Champion, King of Pancrase, WEC Light Heavyweight Champion
“When it comes to training, Phil Ross has ‘seen it all’. If there are pitfalls, Phil has seen them. If there are shortcuts, Phil has tried them. If there’s a new way of doing it, Phil’s looked into it. If there’s a Fountain of Youth, Phil has found it and drank his weight’s worth! And finally, he’s sharing his experiences and proven methods with the rest of us.
I only wish I could have had Ferocious Fitness in my travel bag over the last seven years. I’ve spent those last seven years traveling the world (for training and competition), and this book would have surely simplified and amplified my fitness efforts.”
—Brain Ebersole, UFC Fighter, Division 1 Wrestler, Coach
“ Ferocious Fitness will be considered without question the definitive Bible of functional strength for the next generation of fighters. If you are a martial artist or combat athlete looking for an edge, you've got to have this book: but I'd also argue that if you're interested in improving your strength and conditioning period , you need this volume for your personal library.”
—Paul “Coach” Wade, author of the Convict Conditioning series.
Fight-tested, REAL training by a REAL fighter
—for REAL Contenders…
"The fitness industry has been peddling ‘pretend-fighting’ for decades. Cardio Kickboxing, Box-r-cise, Cage Conditioning, just so much nonsense. Ferocious Fitness cuts through that crap like a brain-scrambling left hook. This is a REAL book about REAL fight training written by a REAL fighter. There's nothing but the truth in these pages, the kind of truth that comes from someone who's lived the life. Co-writer and strength-expert emeritus Marty Gallagher no doubt helped shaped the tone and rhythm of the text, but it's Phil Ross's experience and methods that are front and center. If you want to feel like a fighter you have to train like a fighter and if you want to train like a fighter, you need this book!"—Mike Gillette, author of Rings of Power
