My 2012 To-Do List
Those of you that know me know I’m incredibly goal-oriented. Quite simply, if I don’t have a goal, or if I’m not working on achieving that goal, I’m not a fun person to be around. Seriously, if I go more than a day or two without doing something productive for myself, I’m cranky, irritable, and […]

Two of the guys I like and respect the most in our industry are Joe Dowdell and Mike Roussell. Not only do they talk-the-talk, but they walk-the-walk as well. This week they’re both releasing FREE webinars, and today Joe is discussing how he developed his gym, Peak Performance, into one of America’s Top 10 Gyms. […]

Last year, I sat in a Mastermind Meeting with Pat Rigsby, and clearly remember saying the following: “My goal for 2011 is to help as many trainers and coaches get better than ever. As a result, I want to speak more in 2011 than ever before.” As the saying goes, you better be careful what […]

Things have been a little nutty around here – lots going on within Robertson Training Systems, IFAST, and just life in general. It’s weird, though – over the past 3-4 months, I’ve had this revelation of sorts. Between all the business ventures, my forays back into powerlifting, and really trying to be the best husband […]

It’s obviously been a while since I’ve blogged, so I figured you guys deserve an update so you know I’m not just sitting around twiddling my thumbs 🙂 Well, technically, I was doing that last week, but it was expected. My wife, daughter and I took a vacation to re-energize and re-boot, but now I’m […]
Continue Reading5 Life Lessons from a New Dad
Yesterday was pretty special for me, as it was my first official Father’s Day. I’ve played a lot of different roles in my life – husband, son, employee, employer, friend, etc., but I’ve got to admit, being a dad to Kendall has been by far the most challenging, for a lot of different reasons. And […]
Continue ReadingHow do I get better at….
One question I get quite frequently goes something like this… “How do I get better at….” Now that question is extremely open-ended, as everyone wants to get better at different things. Some people want to improve their skills at assessing and treating knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain, etc. Others want to get better at […]

This past weekend in Louisville, I attended a mastermind meeting with a group of outstanding fitness professionals. I sometimes struggle to open up at these events, but this time, I decided to open up a bit more than usual and discuss something that’s really important to me. At the risk of sounding hokey, I’ve been […]

We’re veering off the beaten path a bit today, but I think you’ll enjoy the ride! I still remember meeting Nate Green back in 2006. The guy had taken out a loan of some sort to fly across the country and hang out at the T-Nation DC Test Fest. I remember thinking at the time, […]

“The goal is to keep the goal the goal.” – Dan John How many of you know someone with one of the following goals: “I’m going to get down to X% body fat this year.” “I’m going to squat, bench and/or deadlift a PR.” “This is the year where I put on the most size […]

Continue ReadingMy Goals for 2011 – Professional
Over the next two weeks, I’m going to give you guys a little insight as to my goal-setting process for the upcoming year. This is something that I get asked about quite frequently, so I sincerely hope it doesn’t come off as narcissistic, or at the very least, a little too self-centered! At the end […]

Every year Eric, Bill and I run our Cyber Monday sale. It’s kind of become a tradition. And trust me, I’m all for it – do you really want to stand in a line like the one above just to snag a deal or two?

While it may be a bit cliche, I think a post such as this one is very relevant on a day like today. At this point in my life, I feel very blessed to be able to make a living doing something a love. As a result, I’d like to thank a lot of the […]
