Ross Edgley's latest how-to book

Blueprint: Build a Bulletproof Body for Extreme Adventure in 365 Days is a how-to book written by Ross Edgley who has spent decades perfecting the principles and practice of extreme fitness to achieve the impossible.

Background

Following a career-threatening injury in 2018, Edgley was forced to reassess his training and take the next steps in a lifelong journey of redefining what the human body is capable of. In Blueprint, he shares the cutting-edge training program that empowered him to rebuild his body from surgery and a doctor’s gloomy prognosis in just 365 days to complete a world record swim.

Purpose

Whether it’s climbing a mountain, swimming the English Channel or a gruelling triathlon, Blueprint will teach you the tried and tested principles of sports science that have been used for decades by Olympians, explorers and adventurers at the limits of peak physical endurance.

Contents

Blueprint is Ross Edgley's complete training journey that shows you how to:
• Divide a 365-day training plan into seasons (winter, spring, summer and autumn)
• Rebuild your body using evolutionary medicine
• Build a superhuman work capacity with forgotten Spartan-style training
• Gain bulletproof resilience through Soviet-inspired strength training
• Boost your aerobic base with Olympian techniques

Blueprint applies the exact same principles that enabled Edgley to complete extreme feats such as the World's Longest Sea Swim, World's Longest Rope Climb, World's Heaviest Triathlon and World's Strongest Marathon.

The book features almost 30 tailored workouts for different phases of training, packed with digestible sports science to help you optimise your workouts, and interspersed with Edgley's own daring adventures across the world, Blueprint is the ultimate guide to optimizing your time and training to make the impossible possible.
