The Single-Leg Solution for Athletes

on May 1, 2010 | by

One of the primary groups I created the Single-Leg Solution for was athletes. Strangely enough, single-leg training can benefit a wide variety of athletes in a whole host of different ways. For endurance athletes, improving stabilizer recruitment and strength could go a long way to rehabilitating injuries, as well as preventing future injuries from cropping […]

Progressions and Coaching for the YouTube Generation

on April 30, 2010 | by

When I interviewed Joe Kenn for my podcast a couple of weeks ago, we had a great discussion about developing information products such as DVD’s. He had been told that due to YouTube and other video sites, that DVD’s were no longer a viable option. After all, why would you create a product when you […]

Single-Leg Solution on Sale FRIDAY

on April 28, 2010 | by

So you’ll have to excuse me, but I’m a little excited today. The manual and graphics are all edited and ready to go. The DVD has been tweaked and edited within an inch of its life. And today, I uploaded the example video clips, along with the website itself. The sale starts Friday. And throughout […]

Mistakes Trainers and Coaches Make 4-26-10

on April 26, 2010 | by

(This is Part 3 of a series. In case you missed them, you can find Part I here and Part II here.) In our ongoing series of mistakes that trainers and coaches make, one of my pet peeves is trainers/coaches who have no rationale for why they’re doing something. In the Indy Seminar Series (as […]

Fitness Info Products and Internet Marketing

on April 23, 2010 | by

This industry frustrates me some times. Today, I’m going to talk about a very polarizing topic – fitness info products, and the marketing of fitness info products. You see, over the past 2-3 months, I’ve watched numerous “launches” of fitness info products come and go. Far too often, it’s the same thing: – Create an […]

Q&A: Designer Athletes

on April 22, 2010 | by

Hey Mike, Keep up the great podcast! One question for ya; your Designer Athletes article was one of the first articles I ever read on T-Nation. Still think it’s awesome, but I know it’s been 6 years or so since you published it- what changes would you make now based on what you’ve learned over […]

Q&A: Partial knee meniscectomy

on April 19, 2010 | by

I had partial meniscectomy done recently (70% of anterior medial meniscus is gone due to bucket handle tear). Now I’m recovering fine, with no pains, swelling or clicking whatsoever, but I was told to avoid impact activities, and pretty much to stick to biking only. I don’t like “biking only” idea, since it would probably […]

The Kettlebell Windmill

on April 16, 2010 | by

One of my favorite kettlebell exercises is the KB windmill. I’m sure if Brett Jones is reading this he’s getting a laugh out of it. Here’s the 1-minute story. I wrote an article for Dragon Door a while back about how powerlifters can benefit from using kettlebells in their programming. I put a picture of […]

Mistakes Trainers and Coaches Make 4-13-10

on April 13, 2010 | by

Here’s another mistake I see far too often. Trainer Johnny starts to learn a little anatomy and training jargon, and so he assumes that everyone and their mother knows this stuff as well. After all, who doesn’t know what their TFL is? Or why they shouldn’t hyperextend their lumbar spine? Look, I hate to break […]

Random Saturday 4-10-2010

on April 10, 2010 | by

It’s been a crazy week, but I wanted to put this up before I left. Here goes! – Evidently, Cressey and Reinold’s DVD is still on sale! Click here to pick it up before Wednesday, when the price goes up $30! – As I mentioned Thursday, I’m dialing in the details for the Midwest Performance […]

REAL Mini Marathon Training

on April 9, 2010 | by

Today, I’m pissed off. How can I be pissed, you ask? I’m two days out from vacation. I shouldn’t have a care in the world! Today, all I wanted to do was write my Random Friday blog post, as I had about 8-10 great points to throw in there. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Today, I’m going to […]

The 2010 Midwest Performance Enhancement Seminar

on April 8, 2010 | by

Once again, I’m trying to do 1000 things at a time, but I think we’re dialing things in for this year’s seminar. Assuming all goes well today at the Hilton (i.e. the conference room isn’t a rat infested dump, the coffee doesn’t taste like toxic sludge, etc.) I should have a finalized venue by the […]

Improving Core Stabilization Patterns

on April 6, 2010 | by

One of the first concepts we teach clients at IFAST is neutral spine. As you can imagine, this is difficult for many – whether it’s due to limited mobility, poor stabilization patterns, or a mixture of both, this can often be quite challenging. To help teach neutral spine and proper core stabilization patterns, one of […]

Got Shoulder Problems?

on April 3, 2010 | by

Eric Cressey and Mike Reinold have managed $1 billion in shoulders. Read that again: ONE BILLION dollars! But that’s not even what this post is about. Lately it seems as though people want black and white, a line in the sand that says “rehab starts here,” or “the personal trainer/strenth coach can work with someone […]

25% Down

on April 2, 2010 | by

As I was enjoying the perfect Indiana weather yesterday (it’s only “perfect” for about 3 months total every year), something hit me… The year is already 25% over!!! As such, I decided to review my goals for the year. I’m right on track for most of them, while a few others need to be recalibrated. […]
