On an average day, I get between 75 and 100 emails - probably 1/3 of which are random inquiries about training, nutrition, supplementation, corrective exercise - you name it. Let’s assume that each email takes three minutes to read and answer. That’s 75 minutes per day answering random emails - doable, although it [...]

The Smith machine is the equipment parallel to High Intensity Training. On one hand, it’s been called more dirty names than Madonna on a trip to the Vatican. On the other hand, there are those who vehemently adhere to it in spite of the fact that it’s an inferior way to train.
