KSI CIP 102 - Commences 5 June 2009

The final KSI CIP 102 intake for 2009 commences Friday 5th June 2009 and runs for 8 wks from that date.

Note this is the final opportunity to complete the KSI CIP 102 in time to participate in the 2009 KSI CIP 103, the three day boot camp.

The KSI Coaching Program is the only professional development program of its kind - a multi-year, hands-on mentored coaching program dedicated to the mastery of the KSI way of physical preparation.

The KSI Coach Intern Program (CIP) is the first stage of the KING Coaching Program. It involves the KSI CIP 101, 102 and 103. Typically conducted over a one year period, the KSI CIP provides coaches and KSI the opportunity to review their respective suitability for the next and more demanding stage of the KSI Coaching Program.

It's been almost a year since I joined KSI CIP 101. And it's been quite a journey. In the last eleven months I received a huge amount of knowledge that now sets me miles apart from any of my colleagues here, I am now well able to make a big difference in the lives of my clients. Not that this makes me arrogant, I got educated not only in the field of physical preparation, but much wider, in how to be a well rounded person. This is one thing that I value above the rest, KSI CIP course has given me a perspective, an indication where (and why) I'm now, and where I should be going from here, professionally, personally and financially.
All I can say is, thank you, to Ian, Mike and the whole KSI Team.
--Igor

The KSI Coach Intern Program (CIP) 102 Holistic Approach to Physical Preparation is an eight (week Tele-Conference Call Series that aims to expose you to the holistic approach that is a trademark of KSI's approach to physical preparation.

Thanks, the call yesterday was great! Since I've never been part of a conference call prior I didn't know what do expect but I liked it very much and it helped me to see information that I thought I understood in a different light. I wrote over 3 sheets of paper of notes that I will work through again until next Friday!

Successful completion of the KSI CIP 102 allows you to apply for the KSI CIP 103, with the next 103 course running in August 2009 - and guaranteed to change your life forever!

The Coaching Internship Program that King Sports International hosts is a premier event for anyone looking to improve their skills in the Physical Preparation Field. The learning experience is still having effects on my life currently even if it was three months ago. I've walked away from the event learning not only tools for my profession but also how I look at myself and my self beliefs. If your looking for people, role models, or mentors in life that walk the talk: KSI are living examples of what they teach.

There are so many learning experiences to reflect on such as my lessons learned from the physical morning activity, to the two hour stretching, as well as the evening talk with Mr. Carnegie. I'm more consciously aware of what I portray, such as my words, which dictate my actions, which are a reflection of my beliefs. This has been a tremendous help in changing. One of the most memorable parts of the event was during the business / financial evening in which I asked about marketing. The topic of marketing wasn't just of how I wanted to portray my business but also tied in towards reflecting of how I see myself (i.e.: Maslow's hierarchy of needs). That night made me look at my biggest influences as well as the connections it has financially and professionally.

Some of the challenges I've learned about myself from the event, I currently deal with today but I walked away from the coaching internship more aware and better prepared to handle them. Hearing the truth for betterment was not easy at first but enlightening for helping myself become better in my decisions and actions. KSI brings their wealth of knowledge to expose the interns to real life lessons which it takes to succeed not only in the profession but also in their spiritual personal and financial knowledge.

When talking about my CIP Boot Camp experience in August 2008 I could tell you "what" happened. We started very early (usually my alarm was set at 5:30am), had a training session before breakfast, 1-2 training sessions and some theory before lunch, another training session in the afternoon and so much great theory information that evenings were late - at one time we worked way past midnight, and that after getting up early and a lot of training during the day.

But telling that would only be half of the story. I believe what makes the camp specially is not only "what" is done, but "how" it is done. The coaches do not only tell you about a holistic approach (professional, business, financial, spiritual, personal development) but live it. There is an understand about linking many different part of once life together to create something more than the sum of the parts that I have never seen before.

This very powerful surrounding made me learn more in 3 days than I learned at university in 3 years (at least more useful information). You are exposed to the Master himself who challenges you to rethink your mindset extensively, to coaches who graduated from the CMP program, coaches in the CMP, coaches in the CIP and athletes - and all very positive and generous people! So learning is not limited to someone telling you something but you also see information applied, watch coaches from one level teach another level, do it yourself and have a chance to ask questions. Altogether I saw a complete different lifestyle that is definitely not for everyone! But I'd rather be part of the successful 5% than of the average 95% on this planet....

Beside being a great learning experience this camp is FUN! Tell me one competitive athlete who wouldn't love to spend all day training, eating the best supplements there are, sleeping in very comfortable beds, having cute twins as waitresses and all that in the beautiful mountains of Park City! Thanks to Ian, Mike, and the KSI Team!

RECOVERY METHODS DVD

Latest Release!

Most know about recovery and its role in training these days, but even when implemented, can you be sure it is optimal? And do you really 'know'? Some suggest to know and not do is to not know...

The athlete was in the best shape of their career and we entered the Olympic selection trials with confidence. But things didn’t go to plan. Overnight, on a day that really mattered, the athlete’s performance dropped significantly. They made it into the finals – but only just. The poor performance left them in the lane allocated to the slowest time. Fortunately, they came through from that lane and won the event, and were selected for the upcoming Olympics. But what happened that caused this athlete to nearly miss out on Olympic selection? I was able to confidently narrow down a cause-effect relationship and this lesson has served me well since. The lesson was what do to and when in your recovery methods in relation to the timing of the event, and I share more about this on the Recovery Methods DVD.

There was a time when recovery methods were not so well known or accepted. Going back nearly two decades I was working with a provincial (state) representative team, most of whom were or would become national representatives. The coach ‘tolerated’ my ideas of post-training recovery. But when the athletes arrived hung over (and some still intoxicated), the coach would give them a nod and a wink and let me know not to rock the boat.

Ironically, this same coach many years later, when coaching at national level, banned a player or two from being available for a number of representative games – for arriving hung over at the recovery session! This cost the athlete income and reputation. It reinforced to me how at all levels of sport there are innovators and followers. And followers only do things when most others (or a critical mass minimum) are doing them. How can you expect a performance advantage when you are doing exactly the same as everyone else?

I have seen some very interesting things are being done with ‘recovery’ methods. Most sporting teams are subject to chronic overtraining as par for the course. There was one team in particular who I believe was in this majority approach of over-training. And then they had a brilliant idea! ‘Let’s take our whole team in the off-season to this recently available former East-European athlete training camp!’ they decided. ‘There we can apply all the methods of ice and other recovery methods available at this venue!’ Sounded great in theory. The challenge I saw was their training program – they assumed that the addition of recovery methods automatically afforded them the entitlement of more training!

The lesson here – recovery methods are in the first instance aimed to assist you recover from what you are already doing to your body! Not an invitation to extend the over-training!

Historic influence universally in all sports contain a bias to training load supported by ergogenic drugs. Not everyone understands this and wonder why their performance suffers. Be it a sport traditionally excelled in by some Eastern European country – or a body building program. You need to understand ALL variables of training and recovery (including the presence or otherwise of performance and recovery enhancing substances) before you translate literally the training program to yourself and in your own environment.

Strength training has been bugged by this as much if not more than most areas of training. From the ridiculous volumes promoted in commercial body building magazines way back in the 1970s through to the now when the program influence was based on the personal experiences of training under ‘certain’ conditions.

During the 1990s I pioneered recovery methods for a certain sport when traveling into South Africa. Since that time, teams that have ignored my conclusions have fared poorly, and those who have respected and attempted to implement them have experienced greater on-field success. Ignore recovery principles at your performance cost!

Training results will always be restricted until you understand, master and optimize the role of recovery. After all – the training effect arises from training PLUS recovery – not simply from training.

One of the most powerful training load decision making guidelines I can provide is this – decide training load on what you can recover from and see a training performance increment into the next similar subsequent session – not based on what you are capable of doing, what someone told you to do, or what you believe some other athlete/team are doing!

I outline many wisdoms and methods of recovery during this two day seminar which was captured on film. This program is now available in DVD.

We have a long tradition of offering significant discounts for 3 days prior to the release of a new product. From now until 12mn USA EST Friday 15 Nov 2008 we are offering the Recovery Methods DVD at a 33% discount, saving you $100 USD off the RRP.

This program contains specialized, advanced content. It will be of great value to the following groups:

* The professional physical preparation coaches

* Those aiming to become physical preparation coaches

* Allied professional

* Sports coaches

* Amateur and professional athletes who chose to be educated about the training process so they can make or be part of more informed training and competition decisions

* Non-competitive athletes who take their training seriously and are committed to self-education so they optimize their training and recovery programs

Here’s just a few of the things you will learn in the Recovery Methods DVD:

Massage

· How to know within minutes if the masseur you are using is worth preserving with.

· Should stretching precede massage or follow it?

· How often should you get a massage?

· What type of massage should you get relative to the timing of training?

Stretching

· Which muscles/muscle groups respond best to massage and which respond best to stretching?

· When should you stretch in relation to the timing of training?

· How much should you stretch?

· What type of stretches should you do?

Nutrition

· What to eat to accelerate recovery

· When to eat to accelerate recovery

· Which nutritional supplements may contribute to recovery

Travel

· What impact travel has on recovery

· How to counter any negative effects of travel

· Strategies for modifying training under travel conditions

Sleep

· How much sleep do you need?

· When in the 24 hr cycle is best to get sleep?

· How can you enhance sleep?

· Strategies to address any less than optimal sleeping conditions

I've finished watching the Recovery Methods Series and I believe it's

the most valuable of the programs I've purchased so far. I think this is

because the issue of integrating all aspects of recovery is basically

about everything that affects performance, i.e., everything you do in

life! Congrats again!

--George

As with our tradition, we are offering the new DVD at a massive discount during the next three days, but only during the next three days!

2008 KSI CIP 103 Graduate feedback...

As I was flying over to Chicago and subsequently Salt Lake City, I was wondering what to expect at the Sports Camp. Going through the CIP 101 and 102 I had a general idea about the content. However, I had no idea what the live event would be like.

And the camp was a truly different experience. In the 3 days of the Camp days we went through so much that it felt as if something that happened on previous day was actually a week ago! It was a supercharged learning experience. It goes to show just how much is achievable if one’s prepared to be focused and committed.

Talking about focus, a huge gain form the Camp was an incredible sense of clarity I got. It is hard to explain in plain words, but I was launched to a completely new level of thinking. And all of this was rounded by the most important part, the action. There was a constant call for action during the camp.

The name might be Sports Camp, but it is certainly much, much more than that. I really appreciated the holistic approach from KSI that aims to build one up as a person rather than just a coach. I am certain that in few years’ time, I’ll be viewing it as one of the defining moments of my life.

Without a doubt the forum is the best thing!

1. I like, and am surprised, to get personal responses. I never expected to actually have Ian respond to my email/posts on the forum and a shipping notification from Teresa. Nice change from most corporate customer service experiences.

2. I haven't needed much support here. I ordered, you guys acknowledged and shipped the orders and they were received in good time. I guess if you do it right the first time, you don't have to mess with fixing it later!

3. Gifts..OK, the first time I got a personalized, signed business card..WAY COOL. Seriously. That blew me away. The candy was a nice touch, too. I had one small piece, but the kids enjoyed the rest! The next order I got a bookmark (always handy!) and a pen. The pen didn't survive the "kids" test, as they managed to destroy it in a day. No worries. My kids could destroy a tank! And, I can still write with it...just not attach it to my training diary!

BUT, without a doubt, the best thing is the forum. I would have to think that is a fantastic customer service and marketing tool. I've had a few questions, but most could be answered by researching previous posts. And, it also made me aware of other KSI products (like the training diary) that I might have otherwise missed.

4. There are always things that can be done better, but I really don't have anything too much to add. So far you're well beyond most of my transactions!

Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be ordering again soon!

KSI Coach Program 2008 Features in Beverly International's No-Nonsense Newsletter

check out pic and short comment re KSi and our coach education / athlete preparation camp in the latest issue of the Bev Intl magazine - see download: http://www.kingsports.net/Download/NNN13-4.pdf

Business School is now in-session!

We learn from the best - and teach to the rest (of the world)!

For example, just last week our entrepreneur group watched Robert Kiyosaki live! Along with other business experts including Paul Zane Pilzer. We learn from the best and teach it to all in our business coaching program. Entrepreneurial skills and mind set are needed to succeed financially, and these can be learnt.

Ask yourself - is what you are doing now or what you plan to do meet these requirements.

1. Is it profitable or potentially so?
Having a big turn over doesn't turn me on - the profit margin does. I would rather have a small turnover with a big profit margin than a big turnover with a small profit margin.

2. Is it leveraged?
That means generate income from other peoples time or money.

3. Is it residual?
Will the income continue to come in after you stop working it, retire or die? (and one or more of these things will happen!)

4. Does it give you time freedom?
I don't care how much money you are making - I want to know the price you are paying. I believe time freedom is more important than money. I would rather have an income that gave me time freedom to being time poor.

5. Is it willable and or sellable?
Can you pass it on as any other asset so that your inherit ants receive this income? This means your family's financial future is set in event of your untimely passing.

6. Does it have global income potential?
If your business relies wholly or pre-dominantly on one countries economy, you are trapped by the economic cycle of that economy. Any American knows all about his right now. Can you expand easily into Asia, for example? Can you operate in more countries than the one you live in, benefiting from other economies if/when your country economy is challenged?

7. Is your income potential exponential?
Can your income grow at an ever increasing rate?

8. Is your income from a industry sector that is growing or shrinking?
I recall one person who watched their grandfather in the US slowly loose his empire - because he was in the textile manufacturing industry in the early 1900s and that was a dying industry in the US.

9. Are you helping others as you help yourself?
Are you doing something that has benefit for many people?

10. It is making you healthier?
Without your health, you have nothing. Is what you are doing exposing you to increased health? Health is influenced by many factors, including enjoyment, who we associate with, the environments we find ourselves working in etc.

How does your income vehicle shape up after this 10 point check list? I don't teach something until I have succeeded in it. Teaching from a theoretical perspective is not for me. So after nearly a decade of building a certain business I feel I can say with certainly and from a point of success that I have found a business that ticks the boxes in all 10 of the above criteria.

I have included some short audio and video clips that allows you to learn more about this business and ask yourself if it is something that you see benefitting you and your family.

Here's some due diligence for you:
Listen to This MP3 - Denis Waitley, author including 'Seeds of Greatness'
Watch This video about leverage.
Watch This video about you can succeed - small or big, whatever you define.

After doing your research If you have any questions or are interested in learning more send us an email to info@paychecktopassive.com.

When you realize that your linear, earned income is not enough, you will want to step up and become an entrepreneur! We trust you and your family find high economic ground in the years to come!

KSI Coach Intern Program (CIP) 2008 Graduates

We congratulate the following for their successful completion of all requirements of the KSI Coach Intern Program. They have stood tall amongst their peers as the few who choose their education options with wisdom, step up and take action with courage, and complete with determination:

Robert Balbin (USA)
Igor Ostojic (IRE)
Andreas Scheicher (Austria)

The camp will expose you to people who think and act on an entirely different level and thus make you reflect very hard on your own thoughts and actions. It is a very powerful experience. This environment and learning experience will make you realize how much more one is capable of. All this brings an incredible amount of new ideas that just keep popping in your head after the camp, a new level of thinking.

You know how Jim Rohn says that books act like steps in your development. Well, this kind of a first hand experience felt to me like leaping a whole flight of stairs.

I couldn´t recommend it enough. A big thank you to Ian, all the Coaches and tutors and my colleagues for an incredible learning experience

Latest Product Release - Stretch Bands

If you are into stretching (or would like to increase this component of your training), and are looking for a training tool to support your stretching - you are going to enjoy the news of this new product release! I'm excited to share with you that we have decided to make available to you one of my most used and treasured training tools! It's a great servant of our flexibility and injury prevention training.

I have often said that one of the reasons that stretching has not been as promoted or as popular as other training qualities (e.g. strength training) is that there is not as much training equipment that can be manufactured to support it.

Now, in addition to a stretching mat, there is only really one training tool that I recommend for use in most stretching sessions - a stretch band or tube.

Back in the 1980's I was using a towel to assist certain stretches and this was fine. Later that decade I bought my first commercially produced stretching tube. They came in bright pink and green, and because they were relatively thin, I found it more suited to upper body stretching than lower body stretching.

This was going along fine until the tubing aged and began to snap! In addition to the sting on the body when the broken end hit me, it was a bit harsh on the stretched muscle!

So I would tie a knot in the broken ends and keep going, as they were easy to replace. In the 1990s they became more easily accessible to buy, and during the last ten years in particular we have seen a real growth in this product range (although it hasn't been accompanied by the same growth in the amount of stretching being done!)

About ten years ago I had the opportunity to trial a new stretch cord, which had a wider band and appeared more durable. I especially appreciated the wider band when it came to lower body stretching. Now a decade later I am still using that same stretching band - every week. In fact, I have taken this training tool on the road when travelling more that I have taken any other single training tool!

This product has survived serious stretching over ten years, and that's a pretty good road test! Lately I have had more of members ask where they can get a great stretching tube and I feel a lot more comfortable in recommending the very one I Use. And that's how we got here - you can now order my preferred stretch tube through our online shop!

These stretch bands are made of light weight, high tension webbing. There are many uses for the stretch band but the dominant benefit I have found is it allows you to do stretches where you would not normally be able to hold your body part, especially in the absence of a training partner. The hip flexor stretch is a classic example of this.

Another great example is the hamstring stretch. And there is the glut stretch, and so on an so on. Endless options!

Each stretching tube comes with a complimentary stretching chart showing how to perform a range of exercises with this stretching band.

When you order you will notice that there are three sizes of the stretching band. The sizes are related to your total body height, so make sure you check which of the sizes you want when you order.

Small (Red) - less then 170cm tall

Medium (Blue) - 170-190cm tall

Large (Green) -more than 190cm tall

Order this product: Asia Pacific / USA & rest of the the world

Ian - Thanks for providing us with an excellent, solid stretching addition. Everything you said about the device rings true when you use it. The bonus chart is a handy little addition too!

Feedback on various aspects of KSI

I get the feeling that you really care about me!

As a customer, I get the feeling that you really care about me, which is in my eyes probably the best compliment you can give to a company
It's tough to say which part of KSI I like best because the entire concept of KSI, really teaching the world how to train with extraordinarily valuable products helping you to make your own mind up, as well as the customer service have appealed very much to me and are within themselves so holistic.

Therefore, my answer is that this (the holism) is exactly what I like most about your company. The downside- if you wish- is, from the perspective of a medicine student who does not really have time to execute a job other than university and has therefore limited funds, that your products are relatively high priced, but as they are completely worth every penny and contain so much information, I completely agree with this situation. What I am basically trying to say is that my hunger for more has steadily grown within the last weeks, but unfortunately, right now my financial status won't allow for as many investments as I would love it to. On the bright side, I have something to look forward to in the future, though!

I have communicated via email with Teresa, who has been very helpful for me in changing one detail on the address of my order which was incorrect prior to it's shipping. Furthermore, she held me up to date as far as the status of my order went and really cared for my opinion in your services, which was a very nice experience. I can only say positive things, and of those more than a mouthful, about your customer care (only this questionnaire shows it all).

I was really very positively surprised by the love and care you handle your customers with and enjoyed almost everything of those gifts.

Starting with the goodies contained in the package itself (your card, KSI candy), you just went on and on with free treasures, like the KSI Forum from which I have also learned a lot, the Checklist, that is a nice tool for charting progress on my road to knowledge, as well as the PCTP email series which might help me in optimizing my money handling.

If I had to pick a favorite among these, it would be the free membership in the Forum because one can interact with your coaches directly there.

You are exceptional in every aspect I can think of! As a customer, I get the feeling that you really care about me, which is in my eyes probably the best compliment you can give to a company. Your service is very friendly, charming and fast and your products are of high quality. So, I am really happy and proud to have the opportunity to be part of this! Thank you!
--Steffen

The knowledge I have gained is priceless

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to offer some constructive criticism about your services.

First let me start with the things I like. I consider you THE authority on training, rehab, flexibility!

I find your articles, books and products to be outstanding and you truly are the industry standard. With the knowledge I have gained from your products I have trainers at the gyms I go to asking ME for advice.

I love that you demystify the construction of an effective training program into something that is systematic and easy to comprehend. I could go on for ever about how much I like your products! The free gifts are very nice as well. It is amazing to me and of course appreciated that you are already offering an outstanding product at a reasonable price and on top of that I get free stuff!! Thank You!!

I also really appreciate the correspondence on your part after the point of purchase. I know from your e-mails and offerings that you sincerely want to see people like myself achieve our goals and it isn't just about you making money.

This reinforces my belief that if you do what you love and help people you will be rewarded far beyond expectation and you will be enjoying the process all the more.

In terms of what I don't like it is really just the difficulty of receiving your products. I live in the USA and it seems like forever waiting for your products to arrive. While I would acknowledge the geographic limitations involved, a solution might be to offer your books as printable e-books that can be instantly downloaded and printed out. I have been wanting to order get buffed (2,3,4) I liked 1 so much, but, I keep putting it off because I hate to spend 150.00 + shipping and STILL have to wait 3-4weeks. Again, I love your works and really appreciate your contribution to the sport and trainers like myself!

The knowledge I have gained is priceless and it is my dream and goal to one day be able to actually meet you and learn from you directly. Sincerely,
--Anthony

Stunned at how fast things get sorted out!

Mike, I got the e-book and have access to it. I have to say that I'm really stunned about how fast things get sorted out at KSI!
Thank you!

I'm going to receive so much value

Dear Team KSI, My order has arrived and I really think I'm going to receive so much value from the book like never before. Trust me I'm studying it enjoying it. Sincerely

So excited to get my order

I was so excited to get my order I had to Fed Ex it to my house, and I finished reading Get Buffed! in 2 days! And I hate reading! I love the book and I am doing the 12 week training program which seems to work so far, I'm starting phase two this week! I haven't started to read Get Buffed! 2 because I have a really busy university schedule, but I do plan on reading it soon, and probably will be ordering the next 2 books (Get Buffed 3 and 4) hopefully around Christmas. I love the books. Thanks for the great books Ian!

The Olympic Lifting DVD - just remarkable!

Dear Ian, Teresa and Team KSI - I have just received the Olympic Lifting DVD's and they are like every other product you have on the market. Just remarkable! Ever since I've been introduced to Ian and KSI I have been impressed not only of the Ian and KSI's products but their influence in the decisions I've made with some of my actions. I thank you

It seems obvious that the low back problem was related to pelvic tilt.

I was having low back pain from squatting when I received your books. I tried the leg workout in Get Buffed with the idea that doing the single leg exercises would allow my back to recover while "not losing much strength". I was surprised(!!!) to learn that step ups, split squats and single leg presses were as hard as 10x10 squats with 365!

I also started stretching all the muscles around the hips seriously. It seems obvious that the low back problem was related to pelvic tilt...of course it only seemed obvious after I read about it in the book....

Last week I started squatting again and had only minor issues with my lower back. I am confident that these will go away as my flexibility increases.
Thanks again.

More than 9 days earlier than expected!

I just wanted to let you know that the book found its way into my mailbox today- which was more than 9 days earlier than expected! Thank you very much for this high speed delivery, as well as the Get Buffed! book itself, which contains heaps of great information. I just want to start reading immediately! In addition to that, the candy included in the package tasted and looked really good! I am impressed with this high quality service and care.

Your very personal touch in every aspect of business is really something
that separates you from many others out there, keep it up! Have a nice day,
Steffen

The Way book

I was elated to read in Way of the Physical Prep Coach that you intuitively banned music from your training sessions with athletes. I felt the same way but you're the first to discuss this that I've read. On the very rare occasion that my local gym had sound system issues and cut it off, I've had my best workouts ever. Smoother technique, better energy replenishment between sets, better focus....I'm not sure my clients appreciated it when I told them there'd be no music in my facility though!! Regards,
--Scott

I am definitely excited about your service

Teresa, Thank you very much for your quick reaction and processing, as well as this notification. I am definitely excited about your service and can't wait to hold the book in my hands! Have a nice day.
--Steffen

Things I like...

Things I like: I like the quick email response and the fact that Ian or Teresa emails back. This ensures that the response is very concise and descriptive.

KSI forum - found this the best. The KSI lollies are a nice treat! I found paycheck to passive really good-excellent!
--James

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your products and customer service!

I received GB 4 a good while ago—thanks for checking. I really appreciate not only the time and effort you put into your products but the excellent customer service.
--John
PS thank you for signing my GB 4!

The King of program design!

Dear Ian and Teresa, Having begun reading through GB 4 and since I've been re-reading/watching KSI materials in particular of recent, I basically wanted to offer my thanks and gratitude for introducing me to the best, most complete training methods I have still ever come across. The more I learn, the more I appreciate the work. The King of program design! All my best wishes for your family,
--Scott

I would strongly suggest viewing the Get Buffed! DVD!

I have the DVD to Get Buffed I, and all I can say is that a picture says 1000 thousand words. Before I complete the first workout in the new stage I watch the DVD for the workout and then watch it again. It helps to get the technique correct and thus the most out of the workout and because Ian does use some new exercises its helpful to have. So I would strongly suggest viewing the Get Buffed! DVD!

Because of your BOM I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights.

Because of your BOM and the follow up advice I have received from this site. I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights.

I have been able to steadily increase my chin ups by using the suggestion you made of doing the balance on the lat machine. I do as many chin ups in a set as I can 5 as of today. Then I finish the set using as much weight as I can without sacrificing form or control. I just wanted you to know that because of your BOM and the follow up advice I have received from this site. I am able to increase almost weekly on the weights. I believe that by following your program I have strengthened up many weak areas and that is the reason for the strength gains. in other words I was trying to build a house with out a foundation or half the blue prints. Thanks for all the help can you think of any stretches that will help me get deeper when I squat. I have been stretching as others have suggested, but I was wondering about specific stretches. Also how do you think incorporating yoga into my weekly routine would work for the stretching at least three times a week for around 20-30 minutes.
