The Floor Press

The floor press may be one of the single best bench training exercises known to man that you aren’t using in your program. I’ll be honest, I hadn’t really used the floor press for many years. It wasn’t until I embarked upon a powerlifting specific program in the last couple of months that I put […]

Q&A: Glute Hams vs. Leg Curls

Mike, Thanks for sharing this story – very insightful. \”You know the feeling – the first time you do a glute-ham is like none-other, and you quickly realize that the leg curl machine is pretty much useless.\” But at risk of incurring your wrath (since you’ve likely been asked this a thousand times before), do […]

Help Pierre Help Haiti

Call me crazy, but there are still times at 31 years old were I feel I can change the world. And today just happens to be one of those days. Several months ago, we ran a promotion here at Robertson Training Systems to encourage readers to purchase the LiftStrong CD-ROM.  This amazing product is over […]

Do Not Miss the Message

I was doing my Podcast interview with Dan John yesterday, and we talked about one of his famous lines: “If it’s important, do it everyday.” While I’ve heard him say it (or write it) numerous times before, this was one of those light-bulb moments. Ponder this…. Dan is a firm believer that you should be […]

In the Trenches Fitness Podcast Testimonial

I received this testimonial a few days ago, and I figured it would be something worth posting. I’m a personal trainer and a bit of a fitness podcast fanatic and I think your “In the trenches” podcast is outstanding! I like that you keep it focused and to the point, some podcasts have too much […]

Weak Torso Society

One of the consistent themes I see at IFAST when working with new clients is torso/core weakness. (Really from this point forward, I’m going to use the term “trunk” versus “core.”  It’s much more all-encompassing, and doesn’t have the negative connotations associated with the words “core training.”) It’s pretty sad when you’re getting young, healthy […]

Q&A: Stretching Modalities

Do you still feel static stretching is the best type of stretching over passive, dynamic, AIS, etc? The question of stretching methods comes up often; so I figured this was something that would be well received within a blog post. I think one of the issues that we see is that people get too focused […]

Random Friday 1-8-10

Today’s blog post is going to be VERY random.  Enjoy! – I hate Kevin, Leigh and Jon for getting me started on the MTV show “Jersey Shore.”  I’ve wasted two hours of my life this week watching it, and even though I know it’s stupid, it draws you in. –  Speaking of the FitCast crew, […]

Q&A: Assess and Correct

I am using Assess and Correct and have been happy with the program. At least to my knowledge, it doesn’t seem as if the program clearly states how often we should be doing the corrective exercises. After doing the assessment, I made a list of corrective progressions I needed and now do them before my […]
