Q: Eric, I know you see a ton of baseball pitchers, so I wanted to ask you if there are particular flexibility restrictions you notice. I am guessing that because it is such a “lopsided” sport that imbalances tend to be magnified. Thanks.
A: Absolutely! The “money” flexibility issues we aim to address [...]

Q: I’ve just bought your book Maximum Strength. I think it is wonderful. I’ve seen noticeable changes in just 2 weeks on the program. The only problem I have stumbled on is my weak knees/hips. My knees get very sore when I do the squats and make a grinding noise when i bend them. I [...]

It’s that day of the week again, folks. Here we go…

Here’s a “Guest Blog” of sorts from Personal Trainer Kaiser Serajuddin, who recently read Maximum Strength:
“Writing a testimonial for Maximum Strength is a great way to get your name on a blog read by thousands of people, but I wanted to give my views on the book to deliver the personal trainer’s point of view. [...]

Q: I’ve found your articles on T-Nation very informative, and enjoy the format you use to convey your message (with humor!).
My specific interest is in the information you provide about your shoulder problems, as you’ve noticed in the subject line I recently had my shoulder scoped in February to repair a labral tear. I did [...]

2. My girlfriend deadlifted 250 and benched 135 this week. She’s awesome and I’m the luckiest guy in the world.
3. I’ve written about it before, and I’m [...]
