Today is the last day you can get Joe Dowdell’s and Dr. Mike Roussell’s Peak Diet & Training Summit for $100 off.
I can’t tell you how important it is that you get this seminar.
First, the quantity of information is off the charts. 15 DVD’s and over 600 pages of information from two of the top guys in the fitness industry.
Second, they left no stone unturned in regards to the number of topics covered fully in depth.
This is one of those resources that is a must have because you go back to this information as a foundational reference time and time again. If I would have had this resource when I first started in the fitness industry, it would have saved me years of trial and error and countless mistakes.
Here’s a little Q & A from Dr. Mike regarding this seminar:
Question #1 – Can you give us a little idea of what is covered in
this resource?
Everything 
Seriously, this is the most comprehensive training and diet program
created to date. From a training perspective this program covers
assessment, periodization, how to training the different strength
qualities, how to structure a training session, energy systems
training, and how to manipulate sets, reps, tempo, and rest periods
for accelerated results.
The nutrition portion of the program covers the important of
identifying your clients’ location on the nutrition spectrum and how
to coach to them based on their place, core nutrition habits, results
driven supplementation, fat loss diets and their progressions, muscle
building diets and their progressions, and the science behind workouts
nutrition.
Question #2 – Why is this different from all the other diet & training
resources available today?
Okay so the elephant in the room regarding online diet and training
resources/products is that most of their creators are ‘reporters’ of
information and not practitioners. The information that Joe and
Dr. Mike share in this program is a combination of research and
practice. Nothing this comprehensive that has real world street
cred as ever been produced.
Question #3 – How will this help my training business?
With the Peak Diet & Training Design program you will learn how
to write better and more effective training programs. You will
learn how to train and coach to specific clients instead of using
a cookie cutter approach. From a nutrition perspective, you will
learn how to get you clients to eat better starting from day 1.
You’ll discover how to actually get them to make changes in
their diets that have an impact.
This program will help your training business by getting your
clients more results faster which will lead to better retention,
more referrals, and more money for you. Pretty simple.
Get it today and save yourself $100!
P.S. Don’t forget that you get 2.0 CEU’s from the NSCA as well.

I was emailing back and forth the other day with best selling author of The Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises (he’s also the author of the women’s version), Adam Campbell. Since, the Big Book is now a very big book on the best seller list, I thought our conversation would be of interest (yeah, I know I mentioned the book yesterday, but this is good stuff).
The topic of the conversation was using little cues or tweaks to maximize the benefit of common exercises and to assure that a guy is using proper technique.
Here’s some of the cues we came up with that you may find beneficial:
When performing the plank exercise for the abdominals and general trunk stability, push your elbows into the floor to improve serratus anterior activation and improve shoulder girdle stability.
Everyone says to brace your core and squeeze glutes as you do a hip extension like a glute bridge. Instead, cue yourself to lift the trunk and hips as a single unit with a single hinge at the hip joint.
When performing a barbell, dumbbell, or cable row, initiate the movement by pulling the scapula (shoulder blade) back and then follow through the pull with the arm. Let the scapula lead the arm.
When performing kneeling exercises like cable chops, lifts, pushes, or pulls, co-contract the stabilizing muscles of the hip by “sucking” the hip joint in tight. You’ll instantly feel all the muscles surrounding the hip activate making the exercise more effective.
Get your copy of the Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises or the Women’s Health Big Book of Exercises.

Me and Grant "Rufus" Gardis
We had a very special guest this week at Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training.
Grant “Rufus” Gardis came by for visit. Yes, THAT “Rufus”. The one from the “Rufus” Complex in Inside-Out: The Ultimate Upper Body Warm-up.
Rufus is an outstanding Olympic weightlifting coach in the Indianapolis area who works primarily with middle school athletes from all sports. I hope these kids appreciate and take advantage of his vast knowledge of weightlifting and athletic development as you’ll not find a better coach.
While it was initially a social call, conversation quickly turned to talking training. Rufus even ended up working with our intern and a couple clients on their power clean technique. It was truly remarkable to see how quickly their technique changed for the better.
As a friend of IFAST, Rufus has an open invitation to visit the gym any time, so if you see him, make sure to introduce yourself(he doesn’t bite).
Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST) is Top 10 Gym
Pick up a copy of the September 2009 issue of Men’s Health Magazine to check out their list of Top 10 gyms in the country. You’ll see that IFAST is on that list. Not bad for our first year in business. We just celebrated our first anniversary and we’re making some serious impact in the fitness and sports training industries. We’ve had clients from Chicago, Michigan, Florida, California, New York, Missouri, Bulgaria, and even two from Japan. Throw in some of the most serious fitness enthusiasts and top athletes in the area and you’ve got the best gym in Indianapolis and one of the Top 10 in the country.

I got an email from Pete Monchek today.
Pete’s a distance client as is his daughter Maia.
He wanted to tell me that Maia was just named to the First Team All-State Softball Team in California.
Just to let you know how good she really is…on the season, Maia lead the team offesively in almost every statistical category with a .550 batting average, 55 hits, including 13 doubles, 5 triples, and 3 homers. She drove in 45 runs and scored 42 herself.
She’s going to be attending my alma mater, Purdue University, on a softball scholarship proving that she’s also a smart one (she has a 3.9 GPA as well).
Pete sent me the email at 11 PM California time. He sent it because Maia was busy. She was finishing her workout.
What are you willing to do to succeed?
It’s interesting how some athletes are put down for relying on their obvious talent. Those who are critical of others successes never see the hours of work that many athletes put in just to make it look easy.
Maybe the criticism gives people an excuse. The excuse not to do the hard work necessary to succeed.
You too can be successful. Just quit making excuses. Stop comparing yourself to others. Take responsibility for where you are now and do the work to get you to where you want to be.
