John Brookfield is a multiple world record holder and author.  His books include Mastery of Hand Strength, The Grip Master’s Manual and Training With Cables For Strength. John spent over a year developing the Battling Ropes System© strictly for himself. He was using this advanced training system to skyrocket his strength and stamina to new heights. 

Despite the fact that John has just turned 50 years old, he has continued to improve setting new records that require strength, endurance and mental toughness. After using the Battling Ropes for his own personal goals, John decided to show the basics to a few of his friends. They thought that this system was simply the best due to the incredible results that the system produces.

Here’s a list of just a few of John Brookfield’s accomplishments.  Plus, be sure to scroll down to see some of John’s feats of strength caught on video & TV!

#1 – John just recently pulled a truck weighing 24,000 pounds a distance of one full mile in one hour and 23 minutes. The mile pull was done without the use of any pulling ropes.

#2 – Just recently, John rolled up one-quarter mile of steel non-stop in 59 minutes. The world record was done by using 62 twenty-foot steel bars, which were 9/16″ in diameter. Each bar was laying on the ground and had to be rolled up so tight that they fit into a small suitcase.

#3 – John Brookfield and Jon Bruney pulled a semi-truck weighing slightly over 32,000 pounds a distance of one full mile in one hour and thirty-six minutes. Much of the route had an upgrade.

#4 – John tore 100 decks of plastic-coated poker cards in half in two minutes and fifteen seconds. 

#5 – John tore 60 decks of plastic-coated poker cards in half in one minute exactly.

#6 – John performed 1,200 kettlebell snatches in one hour exactly using a 53-pound kettlebell.

#7 – John performed 302 kettlebell snatches in ten minutes using a 53-pound kettlebell.

#8 – John bent 520 nails into a U-shape in one hour and forty-two minutes. The nails were 60-penny nails.

#9 – John rolled up a 20-foot, 5/8″ steel bar in 33 seconds so tight it could be placed in an average-sized suitcase.

#10 – John used a 50-pound sledgehammer for one full hour and struck a tire about thirty times a minute non-stop throughout the hour.
