Awesome Feedback

on June 26, 2009 | by

I’m a little bogged down this week, so I wanted to finish it off on a high note. Here’s a nice little piece of feedback I got from a former seminar attendee. Enjoy and have a great weekend! MR Hi Mike, I just listened to episode 6 of your podcast and it’s packed full of […]

Sorting, Organizing and Progressing

on June 23, 2009 | by

Let’s be honest – there’s very little “new” material in the industry. In fact, what I see time and again isn’t necessarily new information. Instead, it’s a better understanding or application of what we already know, or information that’s already readily available. Here’s a great segment from Eric Cressey in a recent T-Nation article: Well, […]

The next level

on June 22, 2009 | by

I’ve got to admit, I’m freaking pumped. I was in a coffee shop last Wednesday night working on Eric, Bill and I’s new project, and I can’t get over how excited I am. When we created Magnificent Mobility, I feel like Eric and i brought dynamic flexibility/mobility training to the forefront. In fact, it grew […]

Training Preparedness

on June 16, 2009 | by

In the past, when I’m really dialed in with my training, I often record two numbers every workout – my rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and my rating of technique (RT). RPE gives me a general idea of how hard I was training that day. For instance, we all know we’ve had days in the […]

However, one of the biggest issues is time and travel: Quite often, you […]

BYOI

on June 4, 2009 | by

I remember back in the day, BYOB’s were some of the best parties to attend. Well, next to keggers where $3 bought you your booze for the night. I mean, $3 won’t even buy you a domestic beer at the bar anymore, let alone a nights worth! But I digress; let me get to the […]

What I’m Training To

on June 2, 2009 | by

Today’s post, instead of being random, are going to carry the theme of marriage. After all, several of my good friends are getting married in the next couple of months, and what says marriage better than death metal and hard rock? Something Old – Alice in Chain’s “Angry Chair” Something New – Slipknot’s “Dead Memories” […]

Exercise of the Week: Band Assisted Chin-ups

on June 1, 2009 | by

Today’s exercise of the week is the band assisted chin-up. This is a great variation for several reasons: – Obviously, not everyone is strong enough to perform full chins in the beginning. In this case, it helps them learn the groove of the movement with resorting to an expensive machine. – It accommodates resistance – […]

Another amazing testimonial

on May 28, 2009 | by

Prior to visiting Mike Robertson and Bill Hartman at their I-FAST facility, I’d been at the mercy of chronic pain for the last four years of my life. An injury shortened college football career had left me with an ailing back, creaky knees, and a pair of aching shoulders, all of which required professional medical […]

Q&A: More ab discussions

on May 27, 2009 | by

Mike, Love your products and newsletter. I just have a question on your recent ab newsletter. I know the industry is shifting away from crunches and flexion and incorporating more stability and anti-rotation. I’ve read Low Back Disorders and most of Ultimate Back and Fitness and Performance by Stuart McGill and it has definitely influenced […]

The Semblance of Balance

on May 22, 2009 | by

Balance – it’s one of those concepts that’s easier said than done. And I should know, I strive for balance, but there are absolutely times that I suck at it. However, this weekend is one of those times I’m going to work really hard to achieve it. I spend countless hours in the gym working […]

Q&A: Meshing bodybuilding with powerlifting

on May 20, 2009 | by

Q: Hey how are you? I just read your article, 21st Century Core Training, and I have a question. Almost all of the guys at the gym are power lifters, and no one seems to be able to answer my question on how to combine power lifting with bodybuilding. I am drug free, and do […]
