Testimonials

  • I've known and trained with Harry for years. I've used his programs, tips and tricks to get what I think is reasonably strong. He's awesome. He's a dick, but he's awesome!

  • I've worked with Harry for over a year now and he's provided cracking programs and training tips. Obviously he's a bastard, but he's still useful for a program or two.
