I had big plans for today, but unfortunately, those fell by the wayside when I got my new Mac laptop in today! I’m too busy mucking around with this thing to get any real work done!
With that being said, here are some random thoughts and musings for the day. Enjoy!
- I had a new article go up at T-Nation today – it’s called Facts and Fallacies of Corrective Exercise. I do my best in this article to explain the intricacies of corrective exercise, as well as shed some light on what it really entails.
- You should be seeing a slew of new articles from me in the very near future. I got a ton of great ideas thanks to the ladies at FigureAthlete.com, so hopefully I’ll be wrapping those up and getting them submitted ASAP.
- We’re still accepting registrations for the I-FAST kettlebell seminar with Brett Jones on Saturday, January 24th. If you’re interested, drop us a line at indyfast@gmail.com for more details.
- It’s recently come to my attention that some of the links to my PDF documents aren’t working, and I’m going to resolve that in the next couple of days. I have a call with my web guru on Friday, so hopefully we’ll have things fixed up by then. Stay tuned.
- What articles would YOU, my readers, like to see from me in the near future? I’ve always told my editors (TC, Olesya, Big Dave, etc.) that it’s easier to write “on assignment” than to come up with my own creative content.
So here’s your chance – what would YOU like to see with me? Let me know in the comment section.
Stay strong

Mike, how about-
Learning resources- your favorite books, websites, DVDs etc.
Maybe priority/goal ideas for non-competitive weightlifters?
Correcting imbalance post-recovery of long-term injury?
Top ten reasons I-FAST clients could kick CP's clients butts?
Happy New Year!
Perhaps an article on increasing the Olympic back squat. What exercises, variations, sets, reps, etc. Most sites give ways to improve the more hip dominant Powerlifting style squat. As an athlete, I have found the Olympic squat to carryover much better to VJ and explosiveness (atleast in my case). Anyway, hope this helps out.
Topic proposal:
ART and other deep tissue manipulation protocols are often used to treat a multitude of problems. When should one consider consulting a professional instead of self myofacial release? Also, I assume the field of chiropractors/ART practioners echoes nearly all other professions in that there are both good and bad individuals practicing. Are there any ways to find a good provider besides word of mouth?
I would like to see an article about the non-weightlifting component of staying healthy. This could be things like medicine ball training, sprinting, or plyos. I do not see any articles on t-nation that discuss these aspects of training, You could talk about how to incorporate them in your training and who would see the most benefit from this type of training.
Just a thought,
Chris
I second Chris's statement, only I would like to put emphasis on incorporating plyos/ medicine ball work INTO a weight-lifting program, specifically for improving athletic performance. Is front-loaded, embedded, or finishing plyometric work best?
hey mike,
how about a back savers? or maybe one on how you write your own programs? some of your most interesting corrective exercise client cases and how you figured out was wrong with them and how you tried to go about fixing it?
Prehab exercises especially for the knees.
HAppy New Year
Hi Mike-
Which model laptop did you get? I've been told Macs are better for multimedia stuff. True?
Shoot me an email if you'd prefer (paulconnolly123@gmail.com).
Happy New Year!

Hi Mike –
Article suggestion: how about something about how you would incorporate HIIT-type metabolic work for body comp purposes into a training week?
To Lance Goyke: "why Bill told me to flip the weights so that they're backwards on the bar" ??? PLEASE ELABORATE. Sure, most of the larger plates at my gym are smooth on one side, recessed and stamped on the other. Never thought this made any difference, unless I was doing plate pinches for grip training. I'm dying to know what Bill said.
Just curious, where did you get that picture from?
Nate’s site I believe
