Performance Posture Seminar at the Poliquin Performance Center Chicago
Mike will be giving a full-day seminar at the Poliquin Performance Center on Saturday, March 11th. This seminar is open to anyone who is interested in attending, but it’s geared towards the serious strength/performance coach or personal trainer. This hands-on and informative seminar will cover functional anatomy, Mike’s static and dynamic posture and movement assessments, and corrective techniques to decrease the risk of injury and improve performance. Needless to say, you don’t want to miss this!
If you’re interested in attending, contact Mike Bystol at 847-881-2840 or e-mail [email protected]. But hurry, there are only 7 seats left!
Performance Golf Seminar
Mike has been asked to put on a Performance Golf seminar in Noblesville on March 25. Needless to say, this isn’t going to be your average golf seminar! We’ll be discussing how to identify and train weak links, as well as the common errors you see in the training of most golfers. If you are interested, shoot Mike an e-mail at [email protected].
Indianapolis T-Cell Meeting
The 1st Indianapolis T-Cell meeting took place on February 18th and it kicked ass! Discussion ranged from building the big three, to nutritional supplements, and how important recovery is when striving for better performance.
Our 2nd meeting will be held at the same location, this time getting together on April 22nd at 1 p.m. E-mail Mike with any questions.
Training Tip:
Shift the weight to your heels!
Strength trainers are probably the only athletes on the face of the Earth who want to shift their weight to their heels versus their toes. Think of your heels as the roots to a tree; another option is to ‘screw’ your feet into the ground. This will not only provide added stability, but a more solid base to lift from. This tip works great whether you are squatting, benching, deadlifting or even overhead pressing.
Give it a shot!
magnificent mobility, the DVD!
Magnificent Mobility is in stores now and the reviews have been top-notch! Here are just a few snippets from some of the best and brightest in the field:
“Eric and Mike’s Robertson’s Magnificent Mobility DVD is an excellent resource for strength coaches and personal trainers. Unlike other DVD’s on the market that just demonstrate exercises, Magnificent Mobility addresses specifically how and why they are done. When you only have ten minutes to warm up a client or a team, these are the best “bang for the buck” exercises. Performing the exercises in the DVD will help your client/athlete correct muscle imbalances and improve posture and performance.”
Sean Skahan, M.Ed., C.S.C.S.
Strength and Conditioning Coach, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim
I just finished watching the DVD and performed over half of the drills as I watched. Yesterday, I competed in the Tactical Strength Challenge and my low back is hammered. I feel MUCH better after the exercises.
“I NEEDED this video PERSONALLY as well as for my athletes. After almost 20 years of hard lifting, wrestling, and grappling, my body is not always feeling its best. Watching Mike and Eric perform the movements with full ROM was an eye-opener and showed me how it looks when someone spends regular time on these mobility exercises. I train predominantly combat athletes who have amassed numerous strength and flexibility imbalances, and these problems obviously limit their true potential.
“The anatomy models and the review of each movement are top notch, as is the thorough voice-over explanations. This info is easy to implement – especially since the “dos and don’ts” of each movement are discussed.
“Bottom line: I can immediately use this info easily with myself and my athletes. This DVD is key for any coach or athlete because inevitably we get injured. If you want to reduce your likelihood of injuries, then regular mobility training is imperative. Why am I so easily sold here? After two knee surgeries, a shoulder tear, and a body that is tighter than all heck, I NEED this to keep me healthy!”
