Tom Purvis, Charlie McMillin, Brandon Green talk all things around the exercise and personal training industry!

Muscle Building Month wouldn't be complete without hearing from one of my longtime mentors and friends, Tom Purvis. I call him "The Yoda of Resistance Training," and you'll know why by the end of this episode. Tom Purvis has been teaching personal trainers around the world for over 30 years.  A primary focus of Tom's work has been Exercise Mechanics since 1986 when he began researching & teaching. Tom also exhibits a quality that I have found to be hugely important within my own journeys of fitness, coaching, and personal development: the ability to question your beliefs, and to challenge your thinking. In today's episode you'll learn: How to truly challenge muscles, not just lift weights. What it takes to master skills, before working hard. A framework for addressing progression. Why improper mechanics are so commonplace. Plus...the ONE thing you might just be missing in your own training, or as a coach.

Dennis shares his experiences creating event posters. ... A native San Franciscan, Dennis graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of the Arts. His knack for composition paired with his eye for color gave him a distinctive look and he was able to establish himself as an illustrator in San Francisco. Wanting to explore more opportunities as an illustrator, he moved to New York in 1980. While there, he flourished as an artist, which eventually led him to a successful career as one of the nation's top illustrators. His compelling poster images include the NFL Super Bowl XXIX and the 2006 Kentucky Derby. His paintings were featured on many well-known book covers including, the Tales of the City series by Armisted Maupin, and several covers for authors Elmore Leonard and James Lee Burke. Dennis was the featured cover artist for Hemispheres, United Airlines in-flight magazine, the National Lampoon and, more recently, Western Art Collector, American Art Collector, Southwest Art, and the Jackson Hole Traveler. Dennis' strong and richly colored images borrow much of their inspiration from early 20th century paintings and posters. His early influences, J.C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, Ludwig Hohlwein and Tom Purvis, were all master designers in composition. The demands of illustration and poster design, with its simplified, sculpturally rendered images gave Dennis the discipline and draftsmanship that gives strength to his paintings today. Dennis is not only an artist, but has taught at the California College of the Arts, the Academy of Art in San Francisco, as well as Syracuse University in New York. In 1986 he returned to his roots in California, bought property, and settled in the Sonoma wine country. About this time, Dennis turned his attention to fine art, when continuous requests of his original images were made and private paintings were commissioned. For the last 30 years, Dennis has been painting in oils for his galleries and private clients. Dennis' work is in the permanent collections of the Tucson Museum of Art, Bakersfield Museum of Art, the Booth Western Art Museum, Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West, and the Whitney Western Art Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Dennis is an Artist member of the California Art Club. AVAILABLE WORKS DENNIS ZIEMIENSKI AT BLUE RAIN PRINT SHOP ... Produced by Leah Garcia Music by Mozart Gabriel Abeyta

Today I am excited to be joined by James Sutton, Lead Educator in Exercise Mechanics at The Muscle Mentors, industry leaders in physique coaching and education. James is a trainer of trainers, a mentor for many PT's in the industry with an incredible amount of time & experience under his belt. In fact, James worked alongside Calum Raistrick at M10 in Nottingham, where James actually mentored Calum in Cal's early years as a coach, which speaks volumes for James knowledge and experience, including his role as lead educator and head of coaching at M10 before joining the Muscle Mentors. James epitomises the true physique & exercise professional, as one of the very few coaches in the UK who has obtained Mastery level with the Resistance Training Specialist created by Tom Purvis.

Living, breathing, and communicating the components of exercise is Tom Purvis’s obsession. Tom Purvis is the owner of the Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) & ExerciseProfessional.com. His attention to detail on every component of the exercise experience, and continuum is paving the way to a completely different conversation about exercise. That conversation, is one of taking exercise out of commoditization and into a moment by moment experience. Understanding the mechanics, tools, and human dynamics can make all the difference in training the majority of the population. (the majority of exercisers walk into gyms or programs with prior injuries or medical conditions.) This conversation goes deep into the history of exercise, and application to differentiate yourself in a flooded exercise market. Tom specializes in mentoring and educating Exercise Professionals. Exercise, dosed correctly, can change lives. That is not done by chance. Enjoy. See what Tom is up to.

Being decisive and creative was a necessity during the recent global events that have changed the world.  This episode is all about building an effective home exercise experience by sharing exercise mechanics knowledge. This is an ongoing project for Think Fit. Be Fit. as we believe our community's exercise is about personal growth and getting stronger despite complicated circumstances. Jenn and Ed have over 35 years of experience as exercise professionals and now rely mostly on bands and bodyweight exercises because they had to be physically distanced from their well equipped studios. This episode is here for you to learn their tricks!  The funny thing about body weight exercises and bands is that most of us used them out of convenience but without access to gyms we are now using bands and body weight exercises with unfortunate urgency and necessity.   Broadening your understanding of the technical parts of the bands is easy to do!  Just listen to our podcast, take notes, experiment with Strategic Variation™ and, as always, get in touch if you need more guidance.     Here’s the breakdown of the discussion: A real physical education includes not only understanding some of the biology and physiology but also the mechanics of exercise.  Tools for success are better than allegiance to an exercise Technical aspect of bands and their range (plastic vs elastic) Learn about the different ranges and ways to replicate your cable routine with bands.

Luke is joined by fellow Muscle Mentor, James Sutton and the magnificent Gary McGowan (@SkinnyGaz) on this special, roundtable episode of the podcast to talk through the biomechanical considerations surrounding the Barbell Romanian Deadlift (RDL). We initially delve into some key terminology within the realms of Exercise Mechanics and the incredible RTS Programme (founded by the mighty Tom Purvis). From here, we then transition into talking about the RDL and all the differing manners in which we can apply modify the challenge throughout this movement using bands. From here it was a case of breaking down each application and then establishing how each fit into programming and if any variation is able to provide a more efficient way to challenge the hip extensors within the gym. Within this discussion we cover the infamous hip-banded RDL variation and why it may not be the best option with respect to maximising your efficiency within the gym. It was a true honour having this discussion with James and Gary, and if the response is positive, we will aim to make these a more regular occurrence. Both men possess incredible experience and insight into the area of exercise mechanics. Hopefully this was translated well over the podcast. If you enjoy the episode, please leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who you feel could benefit from the content. Thanks for listening people :).

Matthew Bernier, Soft tissue expert and first-time hunter joins the podcast with Aron Snyder, longtime hunter, combating the toll years of intense backcountry adventures has taken.  Together they share expertise in their respective fields with the end goal to make Matthew a better hunter, and to help Aron find muscle relief and regain his full potential in the field.   ----more---- Matthew James Bernier  Matthew has been a Health & Exercise Professional since 1994. Graduating from George Mason University as an Academic All American and a Division 1 Wrestler/Athlete with a BS in Education certified to teach Health & Physical Education. Matthew became a Personal Trainer and attended the Potomac Massage Training Institute. After graduating from the Potomac Massage Training Institute (PMTI). Matthew opened a private massage practice and worked for Arlington County, VA as Personal Trainer. Matthew moved on to become Lead Trainer at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center and prepared the training staff to work with the participants and helped to grow the program to one of the largest and most successful in the area. At the same time he returned to The Potomac Massage Training Institute to become an instructor in the final portion of their deep tissue program where he worked for 4 years educating many massage professionals and building his knowledge of the muscular system. Also at this time he continued to take as many continuing education courses as possible at PMTI including Neuro Muscular Therapy, Rolfing, Reiki, Cranio Sacral, Myo Facial Release, Trigger Point Therapy and Massage as a Medical Intervention. After leaving Arlington County and continuing his private massage practice, Matthew became the Director of Education for Arington, VA based Fit One Personal Training, again educating the staff to provide the best exercise services possible. Around this same time Matthew met Tom Purvis the creator of The Resistance Training Specialist Program (RTS). Matthew had a passion for exercise and strength training and quickly gained his Mastery Level Status in this physics based program. He excelled in his understanding of exercise mechanics and became one of RTS’s first instructors helping Tom Purvis educate exercise professionals in understand the importance of a physics based training model and decision making process. In 2001 Tom Purvis met and introduced the RTS Instructor group to Greg Roskopf the creator of Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). It was at this point that the blend of body work/massage and personal training, two separate businesses started to come together. Greg shared his concepts of bringing stability/contractile ability back to the body through a process of range of motion, muscle testing and origin and insertion work. At this point Greg decided to teach a 10 month 8 weekend specialist program to train others in MAT. Matthew was in the first group of students to complete the program in 2002 and the first MAT Certified Specialist in the country. It was at this point that Greg asked Matthew to move to Denver and work at the MAT Corporate HQ seeing clients and educating fitness professionals about MAT by teaching the first phase of MAT, the JumpStart Program. For the next three years Matthew traveled the country on the weekends helping to grow the MAT & RTS communities teaching the MAT JumpStart Programs and the RTS 123 courses. During the week Matthew built a thriving private practice at MAT HQ and helped Greg evolve the MAT program. While at HQ along side Greg and the instructor core Matthew helped to develop the MAT Mastery program and also became the first MAT Mastery Level Specialist. In 2005 Matthew became the Lead Instructor for the MAT Specialist Program. Over the last 10+ years Matthew has taught over 45 10 month 8 weekend Specialists courses that accounts for over 2000 students. These courses have covered the U.S. and International locations including New York, Miami, Columbus, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Barcelona, London & Mexico City. In 2015 Matthew decided it was time for a change and decided to move his private practice closer to home in an effort to create more time for his family due to the busy travel schedule of teaching. This has created an ability to spend a lot more time with his wife Jennifer also an MAT Certified Specialist and RTS Mastery Level Trainer, daughter Rhys and son Ryker. This is when THE MUSCLE PROJECT was created. With 20+ years of experience & education in the health, fitness, exercise & body work industries.     The Muscle Project is an Exercise based facility that was developed out of a passion to help others function better and participate in life to their fullest potential. Fueled by an understanding of how important an optimally contracting muscular system is to participation, The Muscle Project was born. Core Beliefs: A properly contracting muscular system is vital to optimal health. Optimal contraction is vital to a properly functioning muscular system. Having a systematic approach to assessing proper contraction is vital to improving this function. Without proper function the system will eventually break down and participation will become less and less efficient leading to less than optimal health. Maintaining this system over time is vital to long term health gains. Proper progression over time is vital to reaching the systems optimal potential. Education of the inner working of the system is vital honoring how to progress this system. Education is vital to understanding how to maintain this system overtime. A solid understanding of physics is vital to understanding how force affects the system. Properly applying forces is vital to achieving, progressing and maintaining a healthy muscular system.

Can you imagine having your own exercise guidebook with notes tailored for your body? In this episode of Lab of You, we’ll show you how to get started writing your book or how to improve what you already have. Fitness beginners and experienced lifters alike will benefit from this new way of thinking about exercise.   The first step of this process is thinking of exercise as a challenge to the body, and as we control the variables better, the outcome becomes more predictable. Then, you can start gaining clarity of your exercise choices. Instead of listening to generic and overrated advice, you can start navigating on a higher level, understanding the risks and benefits of different types of exercise. Just like an investment portfolio, knowing which exercise is worth the risk and which brings the most benefit can pay off big dividends.   Overall, our main idea for this LOY is that all exercises exist on a continuum. This concept comes from Tom Purvis, owner of the Resistance Training Specialist, whose classes changed my view on exercise and helped me become an extremely versatile trainer.     Exercise choices can be overwhelming, and as with anything in life, the best path in your intelligent fitness journey involves falling in love with the process.
