Scott Sonnon - Primal Stress
Scott Sonnon’s new Primal Stress program is a comprehensive,
plug-and-play bodyweight training program that will help you develop a
high standard of fitness by burning stubborn fat, building functional
muscle, injury-proofing your body, and improving your conditioning level
using a variety of movement skills and training protocols that were
specifically created to build resiliency and toughness while fostering a
sense of strength and empowerment.
I’ve spent the last week looking over the materials of Scott Sonnon’s
new Primal Stress program. My hope was to gather enough information and
insight to bring you a comprehensive product review that will help you
decide whether or not this program would be a good fit for you, your
goals, and circumstances.
I quickly discovered that Primal Stress encompasses far more than I
originally expected, and includes far more educational material than any
of Sonnon’s previous releases. Not only is it massive in scope (over 18
hours of video footage and over 500 pages of reading material); it’s
also extremely deep. Naturally, one week is not nearly enough time to go
over it all. And that’s why this isn’t going to be so much of a
comprehensive product review as it will be a brief analysis based on my
first impressions.
So, today, I’m not going to give you the point-by-point pro’s and con’s
like I usually do in my other product reviews. The reason being that
this program is much the same as Sonnon’s past product releases – only
better – and I’d just be rehashing points I’ve made again and again in
the past.
First things first, I’ve been anticipating this program’s release since
Scott told me about it privately last year. I could tell he was very
excited about this program because it would be different from his other
work.
I’ve reviewed almost all of Sonnon’s programs that have been released
since 2006 (and a handful prior to that). Having said that, I’ll be up
front and say that it is my opinion that this is absolutely Scott
Sonnon’s best work to date – by far. And it’s not just because the
quality of information that he’s bringing or how well it’s packaged.
It’s because this program has a little something called heart. It’s
obvious upon first opening the manual that Scott truly poured his heart
into this one, and he shares so much of himself in this distillation of
his work.
It’s hard for me to describe exactly how this has impacted the product
as a whole, but I think anyone who actually uses this program will know
exactly what I mean. Suffice to say, this is not just another workout
program. What Scott has done with Primal Stress is nothing short of
revolutionary. This is a collection of work that truly matters and is
greatly needed in our day and age.
What You Get + Brief Notes on the Pros and Cons
Primal Stress is truly a new evolution of training programs, and that’s
certainly been the trend with most of Sonnon’s releases – each one a
little better and more refined than the last one. So, if you’re already
familiar with any of Sonnon’s past programs – in particular, his more
recent TACFIT programs – then you already have a general idea of what to
expect in terms of packaging (PDF manuals, progress tracking charts,
instructional and workout follow-along videos, audio/video/PDF bonuses,
etc.). And if you don’t, then just check out some of my past product
reviews to get an idea.
Essentially, all of high points and advantages of Sonnon’s recent
product releases also apply to the Primal Stress program. In other
words, the best features and benefits from programs like TACFIT
Commando, TACFIT Warrior, Tactical Gymnastics, etc. are all present in
Primal Stress, too. Let me spell some of them out for you…
It’s a bodyweight training program that has different levels of
difficulty for beginners to advanced trainees. The workouts are
challenging, yet manageable because they are customizable to your
current conditioning level. The workouts are brief, yet intense, and the
overall training system is very balanced. That is, there is a
complementary blend of high intensity and low intensity training –
hard-style and soft-style. There are different training schedules to
choose from to align the program with what’s best for your schedule and
time availability. The progress tracking guides are extensive and
user-friendly. This program is 100% plug and play – no planning or
guesswork involved. Plus, the whole system is action-oriented so you
have no excuse not to succeed.
Did you get all that? Yeah, good stuff, huh?
If you’d like to burn fat, build muscle, improve your conditioning and
health, and completely transform your life then you absolutely must
check out the Primal Stress special offer:
Like I said, Primal Stress takes the best of all of Sonnon’s past
product releases and puts it into a new-and-improved comprehensive
physical training system.
As is typical with CST and TACFIT programs, there are some quirks, too.
Specifically, some of the video footage isn’t of the highest caliber.
Don’t get me wrong because the instruction is there and it’s solid, but
the overall video quality is so-so with background chatter, distracting
sound effects during follow-along videos, wind interference, etc. If
you’re looking for a Hollywood production, then look elsewhere. But
honestly, I can’t even really consider this a mark off because anyone
who truly uses this program won’t think twice about those things. They
just don’t matter one bit.
I will mention one specific feature that is unique about Primal Stress
and sets it apart from most of Scott’s previous programs. Primal Stress
includes all six TACFIT training protocols. That is, there are six
different kinds of intensity workouts. You won’t just be using one
training protocol like most of Sonnon’s past releases (e.g. the 20/10×8
protocol that was used in TACFIT Commando, TACFIT Warrior, etc.). Primal
Stress uses six different training protocols, which I think is a huge
advantage because it will help you train different energy systems and
keep the workouts interesting. More variety is always a big advantage in
my book, and you’ll get plenty of it in Primal Stress.
But here’s the thing. This is so much more than just a physical training
program. This is truly a lifestyle transformation system, and it’s been
crafted in a way that transformation is inevitable – if you follow the
program. I know it sounds cheesy – like we should all sit in a circle,
hold hands, and talk about our goals in life. But that’s not what this
is about at all. It’s very clear that Scott is trying to do much more
than just transform people’s bodies. He wants to change lives through
empowerment. And empowerment is exactly what you’ll nurture by using
Primal Stress, by pouring your heart into a program that has had so much
heart put into it already. This man is after you!
Program Benefits and Value
So, what can all this great stuff do for you? What kind of benefits can
you expect to receive from putting your faith, money, time, and effort
into this program? Well, it practically goes without saying that you’ll
burn bodyfat and build lean muscle (aka go muscle, not show muscle).
You’ll develop total body fitness – strength, power, endurance – you
name it. The bottom line is that you’ll build a stronger, more
resilient, more powerful body that is practically injury-proof. You’ll
get that hard body physique that so many people desire, while also
securing all the normal health and fitness benefits that an exercise
program offers. That’s why it’s called health-first fitness.
But beyond that, you will set yourself on a path towards empowerment
through the development of resiliency and toughness. I hope I don’t have
to tell you what kind of lifestyle implications this could have.
Suffice to say, everything about the way you live your life changes when
you become empowered. All your hopes, dreams, and goals for yourself
suddenly seem achievable. But more importantly, you believe that you –
YOU – can do it. Not just that it’s possible, but that you CAN and WILL
do it. Simply put, empowerment inspires faith in yourself, and faith is
the driving force to positive lifestyle change.
Now, all that “change your life” stuff aside, this is an extremely high
value for your money – by far, the highest value of any of Scott’s past
product releases (even without the extra bonuses). He could be charging
so much more for this, but I know Scott likes to over-deliver on his
promises and make his programs accessible to as many people as possible.
So it goes without saying that if you actually use this program, it
will be worth many times the money you spend on it – even if you miss
the introductory sale price.
The Bottom Line
This is hands-down, the single-best bodyweight training program
available today, and I’ve tried almost all of them! So, I don’t care who
you are. If you are willing to work hard to burn fat, build muscle, and
improve your basic conditioning, AND you want a bodyweight training
program that can be customized to your individual needs and
circumstances, AND you want to be told exactly what to do every single
day, then Primal Stress was created for you. The bottom line is that if
you have a desire to dramatically transform your health, fitness, and
your quality of life, then you need to buy Primal Stress today.
