Q&A: Mike Reinold

If you see a baseball player (or any athlete really) that has one shoulder lower than the other, what are the possible consequences of putting the scalenes on the lower side under constant tension? Have you encountered neurological weakness from this posture do to scalene hypertrophy? What did you use as the “fix” to elevate […]

Q&A: Designer Athletes

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

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 […]

There isn’t a ton of information in M2 and […]

If you have any other questions, please leave them here and […]

Q&A: Knee pain

Mike, How much muscle can I gain in 12 weeks? (LOL, just kidding) To keep this short, years of motocross and bad knee genetics have left me with some pretty beat-up knees. Once the dislocation was so severe on left knee, I had to get it reworked via surgery. With that said, my question involves […]

Q&A: More ab discussions

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 […]

Q&A: The OLD Newsletter

This hit my inbox a few days ago, and I wanted to address it here for everyone to see. Mike, What happened to your regular, reliable, readable newsletter? I can read at least four or five times faster than you can talk. Plus I can look over a table of contents and determine which portions […]
