The Single-Leg Solution The Single-Leg Solution

It's been a while since we've had a Random Friday post, so I figured we might as well get one in this week.  Enjoy!

 

-  As you can see from the above, we're getting close on wrapping up "The Single-Leg Solution "project."  My boy James is working on the DVD, while I'm finishing up the first draft of the DVD.  And tonight, I send the first draft off to Nate Green for copyediting. So there is actual progress going on!

The goal is to have it completed before I leave for vacation in April, and then when I come back we can launch it the following week.  Stay tuned!

 

-  Along those same lines, I've been working hard to updated my YouTube page as well.  There are quite a few video clips there, and I would have it totally updated if...

My Thoughts on Nutritional Supplements

Sports Supplements Sports Supplements

It's time for a little rant.

People ask me all the time, "Mike, what supplements do you take?" 

"Mike, what are your thoughts on supplements?"

"Mike, what supplements should I take to get JACKED?"

When people ask me about supplements, I kind of feel like AI felt about pratice.



There are a few very specific reasons I don't talk about supplements more.  First and foremost, I'm not an expert.  I'm not sure I'm an expert in anything, to be quite honest, but I'm definitely not an expert in supplements or supplementation.

But here's the real reason I don't spend a ton of time talking about supplements.

Have you seen how most people EAT?

And I'm not talking about having them verbally tell you their skewed perceptions of what they think they ate. All of us have a tendency to remember...

RTS Updates March 2010

Updates Updates

I'll be honest - I can't believe the year is almost 25% over with! 

With that being said, I wanted to give some updates to keep everyone up to speed on what's going on around here.  Here goes!

 

- Blog Posts

For the next couple of weeks, I'm only going to blog 2-3x/week.  For the past couple of weeks when I've been writing 4 blogs and a newsletter weekly, and frankly, that's a ton of writing!

My goal is to get my Single-Leg Solution DVD and manual ready to ship before I go on vacation April 10th.  That way, once I get back we'll be ready to rock!

 

- Podcast interviews this week

As promised, In the Trenches Fitness will be cranking back up this week, and I'm interviewing some fantastic coaches! ...

Training Lessons Learned

Da Biceptz Da Biceptz

Last Thursday was NOT a good day.

You all know I'm a pretty positive person, and I do my best to let things roll off my back.  So just suffice it to say when I don't have a good day, it's NOT a good day.

Luckily, my good friend/online training client/soon-to-be-intern Eric Oetter was in town and we decided to get a quick training session in that evening.

We started off with some big, compound lifts - close-grip board presses with chains, and weighted chins. 

After that, it was on like Donkey Kong.

I was hitting up some tricep work while Eric worked on his pulling technique, and then we decided to finish off with some biceps (aka biceptz).  I had no clue what to do, so EO offered up an idea:

Crazy 8's
