“A fighter has to be strong enough to control the opponent, deliver powerful punches and kicks and deal with severe impacts. After training for more than 10 years at the top of the pro-fighting and BJJ circuit, Brian Carroll’s 10/20/Life method has not only addressed all of the above, but it has actually helped make my training fun again. Today I feel like I am training increasingly smarter as well as being much more mindful of technique—a winning combination for getting stronger and staying injury free."

“Having spent the majority of my life playing football—from youth all the way to the professional level—my love for strength training made powerlifting a logical “go-to” sport. Little did I know, however, the stark difference between competitive lifting and strength training for sports.  From a partially torn hamstring, tricep injury, and a completely detached pec-tendon, I turned to Brian Carroll’s 10/20/Life for direction and guidance.  In less than one year working with Brian I beat my all time personal best total by 70lbs (2450) and actually accomplished this at lower body weight. 10/20/Life has completely changed the way I approach training and has ultimately saved me from remaining my own worst enemy.”

“There is no easy way. There is no magic pill. And there is no instant results.  What there is however: hard work, long hours, smart planning, ideal timing, optimal programming, and attention to detail.  In short, this is 10/20/Life.  Through Brian’s life experience and professional work, you get a definitive blueprint for the day-in and day-out fundamentals of incremental improvement. Brian’s accomplishments on the platform are unrivaled.  He has brought what has helped him succeed in a sport that is ever changing.  All facets of a customized personal program with 10/20/Life are covered and delivered to you in an easy-to-read, intuitive format.  If you want to make certain that you’re on the path for lifelong improvement (not just your next training block), make the effort to read 10/20/Life. You’ll thank yourself years down the road.”

“As a two-sport athlete, balancing the physical requirements of both competitive powerlifting and CrossFit haven’t always been easy. Overtraining and potential injury were chief concerns of mine while training for both the Crossfit Open and the Arnold Powerlifting finals in 2014. While using the 10/20/Life strength program, I was able to perform at a high level in both sports and actually finished better than the previous year in each of the events. 10/20/Life has enabled me to accomplish all-time personal bests in three consecutive powerlifting meets, while at the same time, become a much better and stronger CrossFit athlete.”

“The principles in 10/20/Life transcend powerlifting and weight training — smart programming and recovery are a critical component of every sport.  After last year’s championship lacrosse season, my body was physically worn down.  Lower back issues, Achilles pain, and shoulder problems all manifested themselves during a long summer season and 10/20/Life helped me rectify many of these issues during a productive offseason. It provided the blueprint on how to maintain strength while peaking at the right time. It also helped me better understand how and when to ramp up the intensity of training to better meet the demands of my sport. When announcers, opposing players, and spectators comment on my physical appearance and performance, I knew 10/20/Life was working.”

"Brian Carroll has earned his knowledge the hard way. He's got something very few authors in this genre have: content validity. He can write with authority because he is an authority. Brian's approach to training is an intellectual one that requires patience, toughness, and commitment—the same qualities that make him the "pro's pro" on the platform, and the same system that has made him one of the most prodigious lifters in the history of powerlifting. The principles he'll show you in this book are the same ones he's paid for through years spent under the tutelage of the bar."
