Carl Miller, my lifelong friend, is the best there is at teaching athletic weight training to fitness-minded people in all walks of life. The Miller Fitness Plan works." --Clarence Bass, author of the Ripped series, Lean for Life and Challenge Yourself.

The step-by-step explanations in the pages here make clear the philosophy and principles that make the training program, as taught at Carl and Sandra's Conditioning Center, so productive and superior. I highly recommend The Miller Fitness Plan to all who wish to improve their physical condition for life." --Tommy Kono, two-time Olympic champion, former Olympic coach and member, International Weightlifting Federation Hall of Fame


"I was very fortunate in my coaching career to have met Carl Miller. He was very willing to share his knowledge and ideas with me. I've used many of his concepts throughout my coaching career. In this book, Carl expresses his unique approach that will benefit anyone who truly wants to physically improve himself." --Al Vermeil, strength and conditioning coach for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox and San Francisco 49ers and president, Vermeil Sports and Fitness, Inc.


"Few people know Olympic-style weightlifting better than Carl Miller. Fewer yet incorporate these exercises in the average person's fitness program. Get stronger, have fun and enjoy a new challenge. Follow The Miller Fitness Plan." --Harvey Newton, former national and Olympic coach and author, Explosive Lifting for Sports


"The fortunate people who read this book will learn of the wonderful ways a person can tailor-make his body to suit his requirements. Carl has the wisdom, caring and experience to help each individual, all those who desire to improve their quality of life. I've known Carl for approximately 50 years, so I can tell you from my experience that we have in him an educated and seasoned, fully qualified teacher. His style of writing is just like Bob Hoffman's, the Father of American Weightlifting." --Frank Spellman, former U.S. National and Olympic Weightlifting Champion


"Carl Miller's book, The Miller Fitness Plan, hits the proverbial nail right on the head. As a physician for 48 years, I have seen first-hand not only in my own life and my body, but also in my patients, the outstanding benefits of a consistent exercise program. Exercise, properly and consistently done, is far and away the best thing one can do for good health and outstanding quality of life.

I agree with Carl's program of athletic weight training which emphasizes Olympic lifting. This type of training is especially good for the large core muscles of the body, so important in keeping a high metabolic rate and making our daily tasks and athletic endeavors easier and more efficient.

George Sheehan, M.D., a cardiologist and fitness advocate, wanted all of his patients to become good animals and good athletes. All of us have that capability. Follow and learn Carl's program and you will be stronger as you age, not the reverse. Carl's students range in age from 8 to 91 years.

This physical training plan helps you increase your strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination and power. This all sounds like that four letter word 'work,' but don't let it fool you! Carl has made it fun. You will be motivated to continue when you see and feel the benefits.

Carl is the ideal teacher of Olympic athletic training. There are very few who have the qualifications or have done more personal research into what works. He definitely 'walks the talk.'" -- Arlo L. Jensen, M.D., fitness expert, former staff member Mayo and Cooper Clinics, Dallas
