The Tabata Protocol
Note from MR: Mark Young is one of my favorite fitness guys. He's
well-read, looks at everything with a critical eye, and perhaps most
importantly, he's willing to speak his mind.
I think you're
really going to enjoy the piece below. Enjoy!

With all of the talk about
interval training for fat loss in recent years it was only a matter of time
before someone stumbled across the 1996 study by Dr. Izumi Tabata and his
colleagues. In fact, this study created such a rage that now hundreds
of thousands of trainees around the world now include "Tabatas" as part of
their fat loss programming.
Unfortunately, there are two
fatal mistakes made by those using these protocols and I hope to identify
and dispel the myth of the Tabatas once and for all.
Mistake #1: You're NOT doing the Tabata
protocol.

Question Mark
Mr. Robertson,
I'm writing to ask your advice about
which of your products to buy. In the first place, I have some knee
pain, so I'm considering Bulletproof Knees.
I also train with
weights and am having some twinge-y pains in my biceps muscle, and in my
thumb, not to mention low-back pain (on and off). These lead me to
think that I should get Magnificent Mobility.
As I also have a
pretty keen interest in anatomy and biomechanics, I was considering Assess
& Correct. But, A&C seems to cover some of the same info as
Magnificent Mobility. Would you recommend one over the other?
And there's also the 2008 Indianapolis Seminar, and Building the
Efficient Athlete, both of which seem to include info from Bulletproof and

The Single-Leg Solution
It's been a little while since you had some content from good 'ole me, so
here's something I've been thinking about a lot lately.
When I
released my Single-Leg Solution training package a few weeks ago, I
got a fantastic response. Needless to say, I was very pleased with
how the product sold, as well as the feedback I've been getting from
customers and coaches who have been reviewing the product.
Leigh Peele actually reviewed the product on her site, and needless to
say, I was flattered by her thoughts - she was very complimentary.
However, there was a comment at the end that really got my mind going.
The comment was that the product was too expensive. So in
the interest of transparency, let me clue you in as to how much a product
may cost to develop.
