"I love training tools that are heavily researched and that diversify my programming.
CrossCore(R) Hardcore offers ideas for how to train athletes with intention--with purpose.
It shows how this one great tool has benefits that can be very sport specific, and it demands
that you progressively train in all planes of motion utilizing the athlete's bodyweight.
CrossCore(R) Hardcore as a study and as a method is AWESOME!"--
STEVE HESS, professional basketball strength and conditioning coach
"Marty had me try out the
CrossCore(R) to see if it would be able to maximally tax me. I was a big dubious until I actually tried the tool out. Using Gallagher's
CrossCore(R) Hardcore protocols, I was able to bring my biceps and triceps to positive failure within ten reps. I would never have thought that possible. The
CrossCore(R) Hardcore strategies will tax the strongest amongst you on a lot of exercises. Some of the crazy angles you can use are unlike anything I have ever encountered in 40 years of training....as far as a mobile, portable, take-anywhere training tool, this thing rocks!"--

"
Marty Gallagher does it again. More than just an instructional manual,
CrossCore(R) Hardcore provides insight into the ethos that has afforded Mr. Gallagher success
both as a competitor and a coach. One of the greatest strength orators of our time, Marty invites the reader into his thought process as he tests the metal of the
CrossCore(R). The result is a book that can serve as a source of information, inspiration, and motivation. For the physical culturist in pursuit of truth,
CrossCore(R) Hardcore can surely provide some light along the way."--
Dr. MIKE DAVIS, DPT
"As a 25-year student of
Marty Gallagher's, I was skeptical as to what the
CrossCore(R) could add to my training. However, Marty opened my eyes to a world of possibilities with this versatile device. With his
CrossCore(R) Hardcore protocols, he has devised a multitude of ways to amplify the training intensity--and provide a workout as challenging as any I've ever experienced.
I speak from firsthand experience when I say the
CrossCore(R) is far more than the rehab/prehab device I had stereotyped it as. It is that, but it's also a great tool for building real muscle and strength. The best way to derive these advanced benefits is to listen to the man the elite turn to when they want to know how to get as big and strong as possible. Thank you, Marty, for this latest gem in your library of strength training wisdom!"--
