Mr. King, what will be included in your book?

Mr. King, is it true that everything you learned was from Alois Swoboda?
Bruce Tackett - April 1, 2011 at 3:41 pm |
The exercises in this book (if it ever gets published), however, are yoga practices with benefits far exceeding ordinary muscular movement. In these subtle exercises one vitalizes muscles, respiration, senses,nervous system, and mind…most importantly in these exercises one comes to experience the tremendous potential of the mind itself, and one makes a dramatic step inward through the layers of personality toward the center of the mind and consciousness

Didn’t Swoboda reveal all that is known abut fitness?
Bob - April 3, 2011 at 5:30 pm |
Is this the same book as you are doing with JP?
Ricardo - April 3, 2011 at 5:33 pm |
Who is Alois Swoboda?
Bruce Tackett - April 3, 2011 at 6:46 pm |
I notice that John Peterson touts himself as a “world renown strength and fitness coach”.
Who or what teams has he coached? What documented feats of strength has he or his disciples performed?

Randy Andy has shown up!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey Andy! Why wasn’t anyone but a select few of the Twinkformetrics forum allowed to see that embarrasing video of you performing pathetic, no-form pushups! Why did JP have youtube pull it after it had been hijacked and posted there?

Will this book be published before “Smoke and Mirrors of the Marathon”?

I wouldn’t bet on it!

You’re hooked!

Jack:
Marlon Birch, the INBF Caribbean bodybuilding champ and Wendie Pett, the female fitness expert and motivational speaker had some pretty bad experiences in their business dealings with Peterson.
I hope you fare better and he doesn’t string you along with this book deal.

Hey Jack:
Back in December of 2009 John Peterson said that his new push up book would:
“really have the troglodytes and wile e coyotes gnashing their teeth, pulling their hair out, turning green with envy, pink with jealousy, and wearing out their psychiatrist’s couches.”
http://www.transformetrics.com/forum/showthread.php?s=313220f1d09dce9cc87f8e1af6b8ccd0&t=3767
In the same 12/13/09 thread he said the following:
“P.S. I could have easily had this book out in a much less than complete form than it now is many months ago. But I have been writing several books simultaneously and I like what I have written. I have the book totally written. It is in the design and production phase. It then goes to the printer. When I have a schedule in hand I will let everyone know. BUT it really won’t be long now.”
Jack, Peterson’s been saying this book is ready to be released for several years now. Do you think you can believe anything he tells you.
By the way my psychiatrist wants to know when he should get the couch ready fot me.
Good luck…

Remember me? Im the guy whose editting the pushup book – the publick educator from South Carolina, aka “The Big Deal”…
Uh…what the hell was I going to say? Anyone??
Greg N - April 4, 2011 at 6:42 pm |
I hope John doesn’t kick me off of his forum to make space for a ask Jack column.
VRT Guy - April 6, 2011 at 8:02 am |
JP has hardly anyone left on his forum to kick off. Anyone with a half a brain can see right through all of his BULLROAR and leaves.

Hey Guys,
I have finished HARD AS NAILS. It’s my favorite and most extensive book yet. As soon as my designers have it ready for the printer I will let everyone know. I need to be able to start shipping by the end of January 2010.

Hard to figure who is worse, John’s guys or the others. Why don’t you take your petty differences somewhere else. Focus on training. From the looks of some of you, this would be the smart move.

Mr. King,
Is there any word on your book yet?
Rob - August 26, 2011 at 3:55 pm |
What’s going on? Why all the fighting? Signed Swoboda’s great-great granddaughter?
