Before we begin, I’d just like to thank everyone for an amazing response to the Assess and Correct sale! I know I speak for Eric, Bill and myself when I say thank you for your continued support!
With that being said, it’s time to get back to work. I’m already busy working on my next DVD project, but that’s neither here nor there. What I’m talking about now is the website – what would you like to see as far as improvements go?
I’ve recently purchased a Flip Mino video camera to get more and more video clips. There are a ton of great exercises that we use, and I want to get more of those out there.
I mentioned this a bit last week, but it’s time to find more interviewees for the podcast as well. I think I’ve interviewed some great coaches thus far, but there’s obviously a ton more out there.
Finally, I put up a free video for newsletter subscribers this past week, and it’s been a huge hit. If you want to check it out, just sign-up for my mailing list at the top of this page.
So my questions for you are this:
- What exercises would you like to see on the YouTube page, and/or the site? Any specific ideas for Exercise of the Week?
- Who would you like to see interviewed for Podcasts? And if it’s someone obscure, contact info would be greatly appreciated 
- The newsletter and blog content will obviously continue. Any thoughts on upcoming newsletter or blog topics?
I’ve got some thoughts on all these myself, but I’d love the opportunity to make this site more about what you the reader want, versus what I want.
So this is your time to shine – how would you go about making the site better?
Stay strong
MR

Hey Mike,
I didn’t want to shoot you another email so I wanted to ask you here.
I got the email about the DVDs but still have not received anything regarding the shipping of A&C yet. Any update?
Thanks
Hey Mike
-Exercise wise i think anything geared more towards sports performance than physique would be good coming from you Mike.
-As far as guests i like the fact you get some guys on the show that don’t have a major presence writing on websites like T-Nation and EFS. Those coaches are great but we hear from them all the time. Its always great to hear from high school, collegiate and pro-team coaches that are doing great things with their programs. Often they’re not trying to sell anything so they just come straight out with the great information!
-Would also like to hear from someone involved in olympic weightlifting as a specific discipline. Would be interesting to see how they go about training when weightlifitng is actually their sport, plus what injuries are common with the athletes etc.
Keep up with the good work though Mike, the podcast and blog are both great!

Hi Mike,
I think John Berardi would be a great guest for In the Trenches. Also, if you have anymore videos of presentation you’ve done, that would be cool to see. The one on low back pain was awesome.
Thanks,
Troy.
Hi Mike,
As a relative beginner to this hobby I spend a fair amount of time on YouTube looking for videos showing proper form for the exercises I’m getting from books (NROL, Max. Str.) and articles (Get Your Butt In Gear, Deconstructing Computer Guy, etc.). However I’m always a little skeptical about who I can trust and if random YouTube video is a good source. It would be awesome to have a source of videos from a source I trust (thats you) giving coaching cues and form recommendations for even the basic exercises. Thanks, can’t wait for A&C to arrive.

I would love to see anything on assessments
Hey,
did you ever hear about Eric Beard? He has a channel on YT and obviously is also a specialist on corrective exercises like you guys. Might be interesting to interview that guy. Haven’t read anything by him. Only watched all of his vids. Might be interesting so.

I’d like to see you cover Atlas stone lifting. Is this an exercise that is always inherently risky, due to the low back rounding toward the bottom and hyperextension often seen at the top when loading it on higher platforms? It seems like there are large populations who should never go anywhere near this event, but is it an automatic that you have to be a Strongman competitor willing to beat up his spine in order to perform these or can they be used safely and effectively in various populations?
The mantra now seems to be to avoid lower back rounding at all costs during almost any loaded activity, but prior to that (and even still today) you have some coaches who feel that round back lifting (to some degree_ in a controlled environment can actually be of help should you encounter unplanned situations where the back may end up in a vulnerable position. But this tends to get written off by most, who say things like “A boxer doesn’t repeatedly get socked in the face during training to prepare for a fight.”
I would vote for John Brookfield also. And more Jason Pegg too!
Rock on

I would love to incorrectly perform your exercise videos for you.
And filming for podcasts would only work if the interviewee was with you. Otherwise it’s stupid.
