About this listen
In The Purposeful Primitive, Gallagher exposes the flaws and myths rampant in the modern fitness community, then reveals what could be termed The Way of the Masters—his foolproof program for guaranteeing physical transformation, based on the received wisdom of the greats who have gone before us.
As someone who has trained with some of the greatest strength athletes of the century, as someone who has coached numerous world champions to ever more impressive records and as someone who has had spectacular results applying these same methods to average folk, Marty Gallagher knows whereof he speaks. His inspirational message: simply follow The Way of the Masters—with the necessary drive and desire—and you CANNOT fail, you WILL transform physically. Change—change for the better—is inevitable.
Cutting-edge science combines with Old School basics—forcing the body to transform, whether it likes it or not. Discover:
- How to completely transform your body—in 90 days or less
- How to train for only five hours a week— yet be superbly lean and strong
- The two best eating plans to optimize your fat loss while gaining muscle
- Training protocols favored by the legends of champion-level strength
- What foods will certainly sabotage your progress and what foods put you on the fast track for glory
- The very best cardio methods to complement rather than hinder your weight training
—Hugh Cassidy, first world heavyweight powerlifting champion
Marty Gallagher is a brilliant writer who thinks deeply about subjects he knows and loves. His manifesto/encyclopedia contains a ton of wisdom, one-of-a-kind role models, awesome color photos… a truly fascinating read.
—Clarence Bass, author of the Ripped series, Lean For Life, Challenge Yourself, and Great Expectations
Oh, this book is a joy. I put this book next to Tommy Kono's Weightlifting, Olympic Stylefor sheer fun and delight and love of training. I am convinced that I will probably keep reading The Purposeful Primitive in bits and snips for years. It's just fun and funny while pounding into the reader the 'secrets' of advanced training. Many won't like the message. The secrets involve training really hard and really heavy.
—Daniel John, Head Track and Field Coach, Juan Diego Catholic High School, American Record Holder, Masters Weight Pentathlon
Marty Gallagher is the best writer in the world of physical fitness and strength, bar none, and two, Gallagher's newest book The Purposeful Primitive is the best manuscript ever produced in this field.
Teeming with esoteric information on training, biomechanics, nutrition, and sport psychology, The Purposeful Primitive is a wealth of information that every serious lifter needs to read. You are going to like this book. NO! You are going to LOVE it. I promise you that. It's Gallagher's best work, and that means it is strictly world class.
—Dr. Judd Biasiotto, author of 46 fitness and health-related books, world powerlifting champion
