THIS got me in Men's Health (pdf) Sent Monday, May 7, 2012 Hey, Last month I was honored by an editor at Men's Health reaching out and asking my opinions on Self Myofascial Release. In the MH article I mentioned a technique I've been working on with a local physical therapist that has been working wonders! It's simple, but will change your foam rolling protocol for the better. BUT FIRST, I wanted to share with you the 2011 Synergy article that got the ball rolling for us: ========================= Essential Guide To Foam Rolling […]

Mandatory Core Bracing (Part 1 of 3) Sent Thursday, April 19, 2012 Hey, Have you ever seen someone that leaks energy while running?

Here's two simple ways to get started: =============================== Core Training For Athletic Performance Level 1 =============================== This is video 1 in this 3 part trial series.

Training until failure: Good or bad? Sent Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Hi, In 45 minutes I'm off to Las Vegas to present at the NSCA Personal Trainer's conference on dynamic dumbbell training. Presenting on a similar topic last June, I received questions on the number of reps and why we start out only doing 1-5 repetitions. Simply put, first we go over Dynamic effort (RFD) exercises and then Repetition Effort (closer to strength endurance). The tricky part is the same exercises can be used for both, just the set and rep scheme is altered. […]
