Q&A: Mike Reinold

on May 11, 2010 | by

If you see a baseball player (or any athlete really) that has one shoulder lower than the other, what are the possible consequences of putting the scalenes on the lower side under constant tension? Have you encountered neurological weakness from this posture do to scalene hypertrophy? What did you use as the “fix” to elevate […]

New Podcast with Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold

on May 10, 2010 | by

As you’re about to see, this week is going to be a bit different than most. To start with, I’m putting a podcast on the main page – which I rarely if (ever do). It’s with two of the smartest guys I know – Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold. In this podcast, they discuss shoulder […]

10 Fun Facts on Single-Leg Training

on May 6, 2010 | by

I’ve got to admit, I’m pretty exhausted. Between getting the single-leg product to my distributor last week, and then promoting it over this past week, I don’t have much energy left. As such, I want to give you guys one final “quick and dirty” blog post to finish off the week. If you haven’t picked […]

The Single-Leg Tweetchat

on May 5, 2010 | by

Today, we’re going to try something a little out of the ordinary. I know a lot of you have questions about single-leg training, as well as the product itself. To help answer those questions, I’m going to do a 1-hour Tweetchat this afternoon to try and help you better understand single-leg training, as well as […]

Should I only use single-leg lifts?

on May 3, 2010 | by

You know, I could manipulate the hell out of this product. I’m pretty sure I could lie, steal and cheat my way to a ridiculous pay day. I could tell you that all you need is single-leg training, providing you with a handful of references (and excluding others) that might even convince you that is […]

The Single-Leg Solution for Athletes

on May 1, 2010 | by

One of the primary groups I created the Single-Leg Solution for was athletes. Strangely enough, single-leg training can benefit a wide variety of athletes in a whole host of different ways. For endurance athletes, improving stabilizer recruitment and strength could go a long way to rehabilitating injuries, as well as preventing future injuries from cropping […]

Progressions and Coaching for the YouTube Generation

on April 30, 2010 | by

When I interviewed Joe Kenn for my podcast a couple of weeks ago, we had a great discussion about developing information products such as DVD’s. He had been told that due to YouTube and other video sites, that DVD’s were no longer a viable option. After all, why would you create a product when you […]

So you’ll have to excuse me, but I’m a little excited today. The manual and graphics are all edited and ready to go. The DVD has been tweaked and edited within an inch of its life. And today, I uploaded the example video clips, along with the website itself. The sale starts Friday. And throughout […]

Mistakes Trainers and Coaches Make 4-26-10

on April 26, 2010 | by

(This is Part 3 of a series. In case you missed them, you can find Part I here and Part II here.) In our ongoing series of mistakes that trainers and coaches make, one of my pet peeves is trainers/coaches who have no rationale for why they’re doing something. In the Indy Seminar Series (as […]

Fitness Info Products and Internet Marketing

on April 23, 2010 | by

This industry frustrates me some times. Today, I’m going to talk about a very polarizing topic – fitness info products, and the marketing of fitness info products. You see, over the past 2-3 months, I’ve watched numerous “launches” of fitness info products come and go. Far too often, it’s the same thing: – Create an […]

Q&A: Designer Athletes

on April 22, 2010 | by

Hey Mike, Keep up the great podcast! One question for ya; your Designer Athletes article was one of the first articles I ever read on T-Nation. Still think it’s awesome, but I know it’s been 6 years or so since you published it- what changes would you make now based on what you’ve learned over […]

Q&A: Partial knee meniscectomy

on April 19, 2010 | by

I had partial meniscectomy done recently (70% of anterior medial meniscus is gone due to bucket handle tear). Now I’m recovering fine, with no pains, swelling or clicking whatsoever, but I was told to avoid impact activities, and pretty much to stick to biking only. I don’t like “biking only” idea, since it would probably […]

The Kettlebell Windmill

on April 16, 2010 | by

One of my favorite kettlebell exercises is the KB windmill. I’m sure if Brett Jones is reading this he’s getting a laugh out of it. Here’s the 1-minute story. I wrote an article for Dragon Door a while back about how powerlifters can benefit from using kettlebells in their programming. I put a picture of […]

Mistakes Trainers and Coaches Make 4-13-10

on April 13, 2010 | by

Here’s another mistake I see far too often. Trainer Johnny starts to learn a little anatomy and training jargon, and so he assumes that everyone and their mother knows this stuff as well. After all, who doesn’t know what their TFL is? Or why they shouldn’t hyperextend their lumbar spine? Look, I hate to break […]

Random Saturday 4-10-2010

It’s been a crazy week, but I wanted to put this up before I left. Here goes! – Evidently, Cressey and Reinold’s DVD is still on sale! Click here to pick it up before Wednesday, when the price goes up $30! – As I mentioned Thursday, I’m dialing in the details for the Midwest Performance […]
