Functional Strength Coach 4

Over the last week, I’ve mentioned that the release of Mike Boyle’s Functional Strength Coach 4 was in our near future. Well, today is the day. The first three DVD sets in Boyle’s “Functional Strength Coach” series have been outstanding, and present complimentary pieces to the foundation of a successful training program and strength and conditioning business. In this DVD series, Mike presents his current training systems, including updates he’s made since the last DVD set, and discusses much more about what it takes to be successful in the strength and conditioning industry that he has in the past.

To your success,

P.S. Boyle is throwing in a 60-minute presentation on his “Success Secrets” for those that pick up a copy FSC4 today. I had an opportunity to watch this lecture in person, and it’s worth the price of admission by itself. Check out the whole package here: Functional Strength Coach 4
