"We Make the Best in the World Stronger, More Muscular and More Powerful—And Now It’s Your Turn…"

The "Grandmaster of Absolute Strength," Marty Gallagher, originally developed the CrossCore® Hardcore program at the request of US Tier One Spec Ops. These elite, "best-of-the-best" warrior-athletes sought a portable training device that could still provide a powerful strength workout in the most challenging of locations.

After Gallagher’s protocols exceeded all expectations with his Special Forces trainees, he turned his attention to several world-champion powerlifters—who were blown away by the results they achieved with the CrossCore®

The CrossCore® Hardcore program commands attention and severe respect from these uber-athletes because it can burn down the toughest and strongest in the world within twenty minutes…

Because this surprising "gym-in-a-bag"—when used the CrossCore® Hardcore way—can replicate EVERY testosterone-amping, muscle-building result you could ever expect, from your most outrageously heavy dumbbell or barbell workout…

CrossCore HardCoreCrossCore® Hardcore attacks every body part with a carefully-planned set of progressions that replicate traditional exercises like the bench press, the deadlift and the squat—but without the need for heavy weights or a gym.

CrossCore® Hardcore’s progressive Old School system can create payloads sufficient to tax the strongest of men… The targeted muscles are so blasted and so exhausted, no further effort is needed to achieve fast, superlative strength gains…

Do you want access to the same strength secrets—and the physical results—that have the proudest, toughest and strongest men in the world cry Uncle within just a few reps—and at the hands of a light, portable device?

Then the CrossCore® Hardcore program is your ticket…

Marty Gallagher, with the help of co-author Dr. Chris Hardy and with Michael Krivka, has poured his heart, his soul and over 40 years of strength wisdom into CrossCore® Hardcore. The hard-won secrets revealed on every page are pure gold…

StandingCCHCMarty’s overriding goal is the radical transformation of the human body—in the fastest, most effective manner possible. His system is rooted in the cumulative, collective, empirical experience of his world champion and world record-holding strength mentors.

Engage full-on with the CrossCore® Hardcore program and you will trip the high threshold hypertrophy switch—accelerating the production of growth hormone and testosterone—for a dramatic surge in your power and raw strength…

If you are man enough, then now’s your chance to rip a page from the ultimate strength playbook and expropriate the techniques, tactics, intensity and mental tenacity of the elite athlete—and reap performance rewards you’d never dreamed possible for yourself…

Rated 10/10 Great addition to my Tool Box
 
By Phil Ross / Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ, United States

I got my Cross Core almost a year ago and immediately saw the value in the product. The addition of the Crosscore Hardcore book was just what I was looking for. I'm a guy who likes to see real world applications of the product. In the book, Marty speaks of the skeptical, powerfully built special forces member that doubted the value of the Crosscore, until after his first workout! That caught my attention.
The stage gets set in the book during the discussion on Grinds verses Explosive movements and which will yield the most power and strength development. I have found the reasoning in the book very sound and useful advice.
The book then provides you with an incredible amount of workouts that maximize the effectiveness of the tool and build real muscle. I incorporate the Crosscore into my weekly training regiment. There are very few tools that I use to train and the Crosscore is one of them.

 
Rated 9/10 Great for any suspension trainer!
 
By Mike Biorn / Atlanta, GA, USA

I have followed other suspension trainer programs that I purchased online or that were running at the gym, and they were pretty effective. This one is better.
The other programs seemed intent on showcasing every possible gymnastic, acrobatic or strength movement you could do, which made for a lot of fun variety and challenges, but not much measurable progress for me. CrossCore Hardcore focuses on a smaller number of exercises with progressions designed to maximize impact. I particularly like the Intensity Amplifiers to enhance the effect of each rep, and the Training Templates with timelines to drive progress over time.
I have access to TRX, Jungle Gym XT and now a CrossCore, and 90%+ of the book applies well to all of them. Some of the advanced progressions work best with the CrossCore in free-wheel pulley mode, but even they can be adapted for the other brands. This book is worth your money and time!

 
Rated 10/10 Challenging even for my best athletes
 
By Frank DiMeo / Sarasota, Florida, USA

When my friend, Michael Krivka, told me about this book I was interested right away.
First, because I know Michael Krivka is legit.
Second, I previously had devoured "The Purposeful Primitive" by Marty Gallagher and loved it.
The strategies used in this book are simple to understand.
The various exercises are very demanding and my athletes love the new challenge. So do I!
