by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN It’s safe to say that most people have a love/hate relationship with leg day. You know that getting under the bar and doing barbell squats is going to have you crawling up stairs…

On a recent program Bob Cicherillo, who by this point in time we can all agree is one of the most outspoken retired bodybuilders on the planet, went out to say that old school bodybuilders have a bad habit of lying about what they ran back in the day. That’s actually a very good point. And he does make good points from time to time. Some people will say a rubber clock is right twice a day but that is not what I am saying here.

Nothing that he has ever said has ever really made my blood boil but it’s more like an annoyance every so often when he says things that maybe make me raise an eyebrow. That said, nothing that he says truly offends me.

Over the years we have seen top tier athletes take abuse from the fans because when they see them they are not at their best. But why should they be at their best? They are guest posing, they’re not competing.

by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN The glutes are the muscles that give the butt its shape, but factors like genetics, weight loss, or weak muscle activation can lead to a flatter appearance. But, with the right exercises, such… 

by Matt Weik, BS, CSCS, CPT, CSN If you’re like me, just hearing the word massage has probably got your attention. While many different massage therapies are out there, one I feel that doesn’t get much love is hydromassage. Hydromassage…
