From Books To Barbells: Another Intern Aspiring to Survive in the World of Fitness
By Mike Reinhardt, IFAST Intern There are a few simple reasons that Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Performance (IFAST) has been named one of the top ten gyms in the nation. Over the years, they have created a welcoming, challenging, and accountable community for their members while simultaneously using their vast expertise to provide their clients […]

Yo Mike! Coach Poliquin (and others) have noted that you only need squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, etc. to build core strength. What do you think? This is an age-old question, and hopefully I can do it justice in one post. Let me begin by saying I have the utmost respect for Coach Poliquin and everything […]

Since Bill and I announced our most recent dates for the Diagnosis Fitness seminar, my inbox has been flooded with people asking questions about it. As such, I figured the best way to handle this was a blog post. That way, instead of crafting an individual response to each and every person who writes, I […]

One thing that really pisses me off about our industry is some of the ridiculous “number” posts you see. For example, a few months back I saw a post that was something along the lines of “The Top 50 Fitness Bloggers” or something alone those lines. I won’t claim to be the all-knowing, but I […]

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 […]
Continue Reading12 Ways to Improve Recovery
Last week I submitted my next piece for T-Nation . The jist of it was simple: It’s not how often or how hard you can train. The real question is, how well can you recover between sessions? While many are focused on training harder or more frequently, they’re only looking at half the equation. If […]

The following is a guest blog by former intern (and now current IFAST team member) Zach Moore. I can honestly say that Zach is a special guy. He trained at our gym for close to a year while finishing up a Masters in Economics, and when he asked if we would consider taking him on […]

This is going to be a new and ongoing series here on my blog. I’m going to evaluate statements that may sound great to the lay person, but when examined closely doesn’t hold much water. Today’s first installment is going to discuss some of the science behind flexibility and “short” muscles. Here’s a statement I’ve […]

Originally posted at www.t-nation.com Screw the Rotator Cuff! That’s right, screw it. Seriously, it’s about as over-hyped as Kevin Federline’s big “debut.” We think the rotator cuff gets way too much attention. Whenever shoulder pain creeps up, what’s the first thing that everyone brings up? The rotator cuff, of course. (Or for those of you […]
