Cuing Good Neck Posture
I love talking about spines; it’s just a fascinating piece of machinery and I’m always trying to learn more about them. And when you consider the fact that 80% of the US population will suffer from low back in their lives (90% if we include neck pain), it’s no wonder people like reading about them!

Continue ReadingThe Myth of Corrective Work
I get a lot of questions about corrective exercise. I’m obviously known as a “corrective” guy, and I’m fine with that. Long gone are the days where I care how I’m labeled; as long as people are talking about me in a (relatively) positive light, I’m good with it. However, I feel there are still […]

“I wish I lived closer to you.” “I wish I was younger so I could do an internship with you.” “I hate living in ‘X’ because there’s no good information for trainers and coaches who want to get better.” I hear some incantation of the above statements on a weekly basis. And if this sounds […]

Not only is squatting with chains one of the coolest things you can do in the gym, but it can be one of the most effective as well. I was originally turned onto the concept by powerlifting legend Louie Simmons. Louie was using chain squats to improve the lifting speed of his powerlifters, and as […]
