New Project and New Faster Fat Loss Zone!
What at weekend! I'm still a little tired. I was almost in a constant state of activity. First, we had the big launch of the new Faster Fat Loss Zone. It's now part of the Naked Nutrition Network. To celebrate we're giving away a ton of free stuff including presentation, workouts, interviews and more. You can check it out Here. Saturday morning was a full house at Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training. By mid afternoon I was deep into shooting video for a brand new project from Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, and myself. This is going to be huge. I can't give much ...
Lift Strong
My friend Alwyn Cosgrove is a stage IV cancer survivor....twice. He is alive today because of donations made by people like you and me long before he was ever diagnosed. Because of the research made possible by donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, treatments have been developed that save lives that not too long ago would have never had a fighting chance. I'd like you to make a donation today. I realize that there are many causes out there deserving of assistance. I also realize that money is tight these days. So I'll make it worth your while. In return for your donation today, ...
Stability Training Reduces Hamstring Stiffness
Mike Robertson and I were discussing this study that showed how training the trunk muscles for improved stability resulted in a reduction in hamstring stiffness. In other words, flexibility improved without stretching the muscles. To bring you up to speed, here's the study in a nutshell: The hypothesis is that increased hamstring stiffness compensates for the insufficient performance of the deep stabilizing muscular subsystem (does anyone smell the TVA bias in the room?). To test their hypothesis they measure the hamstring stiffness of 30 people using a PKES test (Supine, hip flexed 90 degrees, extend the knee and measure the knee angle). The subjects ...

Effective sports training programs and injuries
If you’ve read through some of the blog posts here, you’re probably aware that I believe the impact of fatigue to be a large component of sports-related injuries. Fatigue has been shown to alter proprioception, muscle activation patterns, stability, etc. This only reinforces the importance of effective training programs for athletes based on their specific needs. I came across this article... [Read more]

Getting in Shape to Run?
I’ve talked about this before, but I’ve been overrun (pardon the pun) by injured runners over the last 2 weeks. 4 new runners this week alone. All overuse injuries. All of them had at least one, and more commonly several, significant finding such as weak core musculature, poor hip range of motion, poor hip strength, lack of ankle dorsiflexion, functional pronation, etc. If your foot...
