Old-School Article of the Week 3

on October 20, 2009 | by

In this edition of “Old-School Article of the Week”, we have what I feel is one of my better articles. 5 Guaranteed Ways to Break Through Plateaus originally ran at T-Nation several years ago.� If I wrote it again I might cover the two-factor model of fitness and fatigue versus solely supercompensation, but the majority […]

A Day of Deadlifts

on October 19, 2009 | by

This past Saturday, I traveled down to Bloomington, Indiana to work with IPF Masters World Champion Greg Simmons on my deadlift technique. Greg is not only a great coach, but more importantly, he’s a fresh set of eyes. I’ve got some great friends and coaches in the area, but I wanted someone who was pretty […]

So without any further ado, here’s today’s random Friday! – Several former IFAST interns have started blogs and websites recently, so I wanted to make sure you guys checked them out. TJ’s site has some […]

Practical flexibility applications

on October 15, 2009 | by

I’ve received a lot of questions regarding my stretching lately, especially after my 531 post, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to describe what I have going on and how I’m addressing it. In the Indy Seminar Series DVD’s, Bill outlines how to determine if a muscle is stiff or short. In […]

531 – Two Months Down

on October 13, 2009 | by

So I’m two months into the program, and things are continuing to go pretty well. Mentally, I’m a little bit more beat up. Stress is definitely higher right now – with trying to get A&C completed, the gym continuing to grow, pushing the training and keeping the home life in check, recovery doesn’t feel as […]

A Typical Day at the Gym

on October 9, 2009 | by

So the other day i stopped in at a local fitness facility to get some soft-tissue work done. Terry Fletcher is a great guy, and one hell of a massage therapist, so I don’t hold it against him that he works out of a traditional “big box” gym! When I showed up Terry had to […]

Addressing Customer Concerns

on October 8, 2009 | by

A few days ago, I was checking out iTunes, looking for new podcasts that I may want to subscribe to. As I was wading through the fitness and nutrition section, I saw that mine had entered the Top 50! Needless to say, I was pretty excited. I decided to see how everything looked on my […]

Exercise of the Week: Glute-Ham Raises

on October 5, 2009 | by

In today’s “Exercise of the Week”, we have one of my favorite hamstring/posterior chain exercises of all time – the glute-ham raise. Strangely enough, I remember the first time I ever did these. We were at Westside Barbell in Columbus, Ohio, and Dave Tate and Louie were taking us through a dynamic effort workout. We […]

on September 28, 2009 | by

This is going to be a new and ongoing series here on my blog. I’m going to evaluate statements that may sound great to the lay person, but when examined closely doesn’t hold much water. Today’s first installment is going to discuss some of the science behind flexibility and “short” muscles. Here’s a statement I’ve […]
