Ready for Takeoff

on January 29, 2010 | by

Within the industry, people have a lot of different viewpoints on what kind of coach or trainer I am. To some, I’m a mobility guy. To others, I’m a corrective exercise guy. To others, I’m a strength guy. And believe it or not, there are some people that frankly don’t care – they just don’t […]

The Mullet

on January 27, 2010 | by

I feel the blog is getting a little too serious as of late, so here’s a brief video today that should bring us back to normal. Jared Allen is a freak on the football field, and this video made me laugh pretty hard, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it as well. See ya tomorrow! MR

Double Vision

on January 26, 2010 | by

I was listening to an audio series a while back, and they made an interesting point about the things we achieve in life. Here’s the jist of it: Everything we achieve in life, we see twice. The second time is obvious, when we actually achieve that goal. The first time, however, occurs much earlier – […]

Today, we’re keeping it short and sweet. I do have a DVD to film tomorrow, after all! 🙂 Here are my quick hit thoughts for the week: – Laree Draper wrote up a fantastic review of “Assess and Correct” last week, and I’m just now getting around to posting it. You can find the review […]

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 […]

Random Friday 1-8-10

on January 8, 2010 | by

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, […]

Wutz Yo Plan?

on January 5, 2010 | by

Goals are lame. Ok, let me preface that – goals without a plan are lame. You see, everyone and their mother have goals. A New Years Resolution is really just a goal that 80% of people fail to achieve (that stat is courtesy of the New York Times). I briefly discussed setting your primary goal […]

My Training Stories #2

on January 4, 2010 | by

In late 2001, Joe Willliams, Julia Ladewski, and myself attended an Elite Fitness training seminar hosted by Dave Tate. Day 1 covered the Westside Method, while Day 2 was focused on the squat. As we were covering Day 1, Dave decided to use me as an example. Here’s how it went: Dave (to me): What’s […]

13 Tips for Fitness Blogging Success

on December 31, 2009 | by

I get e-mails on a weekly basis asking me about ways to break into the fitness writing industry. It’s a little amusing to say the least – I absolutely loathed English throughout high school, and if you would’ve told me that I would be paid at any point in my life for my writing, I […]

My Training Stories #1

on December 28, 2009 | by

I clearly remember my first powerlifitng-related workout. Needless to say, it was humbling on numerous levels. I had just finished up a semester-long internship with the Ball State University athletic teams, and I realized that if I wanted to go anywhere in the industry, I needed to get stronger. A lot stronger. After being surrounded […]

Random Saturday 12-19

on December 19, 2009 | by

Unfortunately, my server connection was a little wonky at the gym yesterday, so Random Friday has turned into Random Saturday. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend! – Wednesday was the last day for Mike the Intern (pictured above on the right) at IFAST. Today, he graduates from Western Michigan University. […]

Renewed Motivation

on December 15, 2009 | by

I love Brian Grasso. Now before you get all carried away with that statement, let me clarify a bit. Every time I sit down with BG, he puts a thought in my head. The unfortunate problem is, it’s almost impossible to get rid of this thought, no matter how hard I try! At this past […]
