The TB12 Method

Tom Brady's 2017 guide to pliability, band training, nutrition, hydration and sleep

The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance lays out the training and lifestyle system Brady developed with body coach Alex Guerrero. Chapters cover muscle pliability, resistance-band workouts, a plant-heavy anti-inflammatory diet, hydration targets, sleep routines and cognitive training, with first-person anecdotes, workouts and recipes. Heavily illustrated and written for general readers rather than athletes. Critics note that several of its claims outrun the research; fans read it as a record of what one long-career athlete actually did.
