“AMPED is one of the most valuable resources…” “AMPED is one of the most valuable resources an athlete can own. This is because a proper warm-up is essential if you’re looking to have an intense workout or a dominating on-field performance. Personally speaking, I’ve experienced BOTH after performing the warm-ups outlined in AMPED! I also love incorporating the ‘recovery’ warm-ups during my off-days because they keep my legs feeling loose and fresh.” Brian Cushing Houston Texans Linebacker 2009 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

“The Amped book and DVD are a must-have…” “Joe and Jim have done the unthinkable, they’ve made warming up seem cool. The Amped book and DVD are a must-have for people who want to be strong and injury-free throughout their training careers. Every move and technique you’d ever need is in here, along with plenty of sample routines so you never get bored. I can’t wait to “Bitch Slap My CNS” next workout!” Sean Hyson, C.S.C.S. Fitness editor for Men’s Fitness magazine

“…the most thorough and effective warm-up system I have ever seen…” “I’ll tell you what, the Amped Warm-up manual and DVD package is the most thorough and effective warm-up system I have ever seen. The movements are not only great, the coaching points, illustrations and video demos make them virtually fool-proof. Once again Joe and Smitty have come out with more great stuff to help you, your athletes, and/or your clients get better. DO WORK!“ Robert dos Remedios, MA, CSCS, SCCC www.coachdos.com

“AMPED Warm-up is a MUST have resource…” “As a coach there are certain resources that you MUST have in your library/tool box. AMPED Warm-up is that MUST have resource that will blend with any program you are doing. I like the specific back warm up on page 22 or my favorite the “Porn Star” warm-up on page 18. (no seriously it really is called the Porn Star Warm up)” “I once heard the value of a person can be measured by the knowledge they apply from books they read. You are short changing your coaching knowledge, speed potential, and athletic career PERIOD if this resource is not in your library. Joe and Smitty put together a great body of work and resource for you that shows their passion and dedication to what they do and the athletes and coaches they serve. So stop reading and add this jewel to your library and start getting results.” Nii Wilson USAW Sports Performance & Underground Strength Coach Bronx, NYC

This training session will test all of the knowledge you’ve learned and your mental toughness!

Keith Williams started using our POWER! techniques 3 months ago. He played for the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos, but has a shot to make an NFL roster…that’s why he came to train at DeFrancos. He was an elite athlete, incredibly powerful the day he walked into the gym. But, POWER! still made him more explosive, faster and more powerful!. This is the TRUE sign of great programming, proper technique and the right exercises.

Keith’s “Before & After”
Box Jump with Approach Steps: Went from 54″ to 60″
1RM Bench Press: Went from 385 to 405 (at 188lbs!)
Vertical Jump: Went from 37″ to 40.5″
and his 40-yard dash? Went from 4.33 to …

“POWER! reveals the most cutting-edge techniques…” “Big, strong lineman are a dime a dozen in the NFL. But the best lineman also have the ability to move explosively from side to side in order to block athletic defensive ends and linebackers; they also have to possess the raw power to block 350-pound tackles. POWER! reveals the most cutting-edge techniques and programs to develop that rare combination of strength AND speed!” Dave Diehl NY Giants, Offensive Lineman 2009 NFL All-Pro team

“POWER! have played a major role in my ability to compete at the highest level…” “The exercises and methods shown in POWER! have played a major role in my ability to compete at the highest level for ten NFL seasons. I also incorporated many of the exercises into my training – without much equipment – when I traveled the world and competed in a myriad of international sports. My explosive strength and power definitely helped ‘level the playing field’ when I competed in unfamiliar sports where I was at a technical dissadvantage.” Dhani Jones Cincinnati Bengals Linebacker Star of “Dhani Tackles the Globe” (Discovery Channel)

“I went from running a 4.3-second 40-yard dash to running a 4.2!” “After playing my college football in Florida, I played professional football in Canada for the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. I can tell you first-hand that strength alone won’t get you far once you reach a high level; you must be explosive if you want to make it. After only two months of incorporating the programs and methods outlined in POWER!, I went from running a 4.3-second 40-yard dash to running a 4.2! This increase in explosive power took my game to a new level! I can’t recommend this DVD enough!” Keith Williams 60 inch box jump 4.2-second 40-yard dash 405lb. bench press @ 187 lbs.

“…the results I experienced within just two short weeks were amazing!” “I traveled all the way from Switzerland to New Jersey to learn first-hand how to improve lower body power specifically for my sport. The training sessions and the results I experienced within just two short weeks were amazing! Now, everyone can learn these world-renowned techniques by watching the POWER! DVD!” Nevin Galmarini World-Class Alpine Snowboarder Swiss National Team Rider National Champion 2009 & 2011 Winter Olympian, Vancouver 2010
