John Brookfield

John Brookfield is internationally known in the world of strength and conditioning as both a coach and competitor.  He is a multiple world record holder and author. He holds records in the “Guinness Book of World Records” as well as “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not”.  His books include Mastery of Hand Strength, The Grip Master’s Manual and Training With Cables For Strength.

John spent over a year developing the Battling Ropes System® strictly for himself. He was using this advanced training system to skyrocket his strength and stamina to new heights.

After using the Battling Ropes® for his own personal goals, John decided to show the basics to a few of his friends. They thought that this system was simply the best due to the incredible results that the system produces.  Now John is known for the Battling Ropes® training system which is currently being used by countless athletes from NFL teams, Olympic athletes, MMA stars, elite military units and anyone who is trying to get in the best shape of their lives. The Battling Ropes is completely unique and unlike any other training method due to the fact that the athlete is forced to be physically and mentally engaged at all times. This is due to the fact that the user is forced to use velocity and non-momentum training instead of relying on momentum, leverage and gravity. With the Battling Ropes® training there is no lull in the action and the result gives the athlete the ability to train or compete at a much higher rate of intensity for longer durations of time. The system is also very progressive.  There are seven different concepts to the system and seven different levels of progression.
