Publisher's Summary

From world-renowned adventurer and bestselling author of The Art of Resilience and The World’s Fittest Book, comes the ultimate blueprint to building a bulletproof body. 

Ross Edgley has spent decades perfecting the principles and practice of extreme fitness to achieve the impossible. Following a career-threatening injury in 2018, Ross 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, Ross 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.

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.

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 Ross 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.

Ross is your elite guide to achieving the impossible in the gym and beyond. Featuring almost 30 tailored workouts for different phases of training, packed with digestible sports science to help you optimise your workouts, and interspersed with Ross' own daring adventures across the world, Blueprint is the ultimate guide to optimising your time and training to make the impossible possible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I am in love with this book

I didn’t know this is what I needed. I just picked a random body building book to get me started and his focus on adventuring was something that I wanted, but didn’t know I could have. What an excellent set of stories and the science is incredible. Absolute must read for anyone looking to get out into the world and really live.

Amazing book and reader

So many audio versions of books fail to grip you like their paperback version due to dull monotonous voice performances. This book and Ross’s other book are just as good to listen to as they are to read.

Could be half as long.

Interesting but repetitive in both the story elements and phrases. Some points, once explained, were still explained many more times over as if the reader had forgotten each previous explanation. The narrator also seemed to struggle with many of the pronunciations.

Disappointing that Ross was not used

I found it hard to follow and relate to like his other books due to the disconnect of not having Ross narrate it.
instead of feeling a story being told it felt cold and just words read on a page.
No offence ment to the voice used.

Worst than first two books

I liked first two books more. I felt like I relisitened worlds fittest book but with less stories in it.

I liked the book but it didn't raise to my expectations after first two.

If that's your first read from Ross I would advise to listesten to world's fittest book and art of resielence and then decide if you want to buy this one. (a lot of content overlaps with what being said in previous books)
