THIS got me in Men's Health (pdf)

Mon, 07 May 2012 19:55:06 -0400

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 ========================= Also, for your benefit I attached the muscle by muscle print out guide that you can add to your gym bag! NEXT, on Thursday, I'll be sending you a video and article on the new technique that has helped our athletes restore their muscles to the proper length and function faster than basic rolling. I know I've been on a lull with the newsletters (summer high school football combine season), but I'm throwing a lot of cool stuff your way this week! Stay Strong, Joe PS. Don't forget to read the Guide To Foam Rolling before Thursday! It's the groundwork for the advanced stuff coming your way. Double PS. If you don't get the magazine, I'll send the e-article over as well. _________________ J.

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:29:04 -0400

Hey, Last night we were feeling crushed after chain squats, but wanted to still get through our planned Bulgarian Split Squats with a slight added range of motion.

Mandatory Core Bracing (Part 1 of 3)

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:11:53 -0400

Hey, Have you ever seen someone that leaks energy while running? Their arms are usually flopping all over and their hips are tipping side to side. Building a strong and stable core is part 1 of fixing this solution BUT these muscles have to fire at the right times. 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. I'm setting my request low, just 75 video likes and I'll get the next one up for you. I'm sure some people will dismiss these as too simple and will want something fancy. Don't overlook the basics! Stay Strong, Joe PS. (TRAINERS) Here's a complete solution for getting the core to work for athletes. Functional Stability Training that Eric Cressey just completed. _________________ J.

Training until failure: Good or bad?

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 10:31:26 -0400

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. Here's the difference: 1. Dynamic Effort Method Explained. 2. Repetition Method (Training to failure: yes or no) As long as I don't have a heart attack on the Grand Canyon helicopter tour, I'll be back with a new video and post next week....50/50 chance. Your boy, Joe PS. I'll be demonstrating new ground based DB movements at the conference. Videos for everyone next week. Double PS. When I learn something new at the conference, I'll post it SYNERGY'S FACEBOOK PAGE. Give it a like to get the live updates. ___________ J.
