The 10 Things Fitness Magazines Won’t Tell You

I’m filling in for Kelsey this morning – teaching the women’s A.M. group class (these ladies are awesome!) – so I’m currently crunched for time in between two of the classes. I thought I’d pass along a phenomenal short article I recently read by Adam Bornstein (former Fitness Editor for Men’s Health, and current Editorial [...]

Q & A: What’s Wrong with Sit-ups?

Q: “What’s wrong with situps? I’ve read Steveo’s comments about rarely programming them and offering better choices.  I also read that getting an obese person to endless situps won’t work.  My wife wants to argue with me about it!  Do they just plain not work?  Are the somewhat effective?  What makes the wrong? Thank you!!!” [...]

Lying Knee-to-Knee Mob on Wall for a Better Squat and Improved Running Mechanics

May14
2012
3 Comments Written by Stevo

I was recently reminded of this drill as, last week, I tested my hip internal rotation and found it to be woefully lacking, compared to just twelve months ago (pulling SUMO five days a week, along with already possessing extremely overused and stiff external rotators, will certainly have this effect….) While I’ve been much more [...]

Bridging the Gap Between Rehab and Sports Performance Training

This morning, Sarah and I are meeting with a local physical therapy clinic, in order to discuss working together to better serve our athletes and clients.

Some Get Jacked Recipes and a Training Update

I get questions all the time about what I eat and how I train (mostly from friends and the high schoolers we work with) which I’ve answered before on my blog posts.  However, I don’t do it very often so I figured I’d make it more of a reoccurring thing so here are two recipes [...]

Q: Hi Steve, I’m very new to the powerlifting/strong(wo)man training world … and I love reading your blog! It’s always chock full with information. One thing I was wondering, and maybe it’d be a topic to write about … how do you come up with workouts?? Do you make stuff up?? Have a “grab-bag” of [...]

The Pitfall of Perfectionism (Q & A: Writing Training Programs, Part 5)

Okay, I’m almost done with this seemingly never-ending series, I promise. I only have today’s post – to cover an often overlooked component of program design – and I’ll finish off the series on Wednesday with a few “blueprint” suggestions. Moving on, let me briefly touch on an achilles heel of mine…. 5. Perfectionism I’m [...]
