Testimonials
"I had been a competitve powerlifter for 18 years, lifting drug free at 165 pounds. With best lifts of a 550 squat, 335 bench and 575 deadlift, I was ranked in the top twenty in the country four times for my weight class. I became burned out with the sport and started practicing The Sento Method of reality based martial arts. My training turned towards overall conditioning and endurance strength instead of maximal strength. After a few months, my Sensei put me through a workout called the Primal Strength Crawl Workout. I had never been put through anything so mentally and physically challenging . I have incorporated this grueling workout into my normal routine and expect to see dramatic results from it. I highly recommend it for any martial arts athlete, boxer, wrestler, football player or anyone needing overall body conditioning and top level endurance strength."
Tom Taylor
Competitive Powerlifter
"I am an accomplished endurance athlete having competed in over 100 road races, 24 marathons, 4 ultra marathons, and several triathalons of various lengths, while usually placing in the top 10% of every race. In addition, I have competed in adventure races over the past five years, which test not only your endurance, but your physical strength and stamina as well. With all of my training in running, bicycling, swimming, weight lifting, and various sports, I have never experienced anything like the Crawl Workout. Without a doubt, it is pound for pound, minute for minute, the most intense and challenging workout I have ever completed. This workout can be incorporated into anyone's routine, regardless of your specialty or area of focus. If you want a challenge and a boost to your workout routine, I highly, highly recommend the Crawl Workout."

The Crawl Workout is the only event that has ever taken me three days to recover. I can think of no better measure of ones mental strength , physical ability and endurance."

"I have been performing the Crawl Workout for over two years. I have never seen a more complete workout for physical strength and endurance. No other workout can compare to the sensation you have when you complete the Crawl. Whether you are fighting fire or an enemy, no other workout will train you to outlast and over power your opponent as well as the Crawl Workout."

"I've known Charlie Lysak for over 15 years. Our initial introduction was as a result of our passion for realistic martial arts training. I quickly learned that Charlie was also as passionate about strength training as he was about the fight game. Over the years I've seen him research and experiment with strength and conditioning ideas...the focus was always on producing a tougher, stronger fighter. Charlie's training regimen is hardcore and Charlie Lysak is one of the strongest men I know. If you're serious about fighting strength, I know you'll pick up some great drills from Charlie."

"I was introduced to "The Crawl" in December of 2007 by a friend, George Kelsch. I currently go to the gym three times a week. I do the crawl once a week. In the few months I have been doing this, I have felt a significant difference in my strength and cardio. I have also noticed my recovery time speed up after an intense workout. At 37 years old, I feel like I'm 27. I recommend this workout to anyone who wants to lose weight and gain youth."
