Questions for Nick:

• Nick, you are kind of known for creating new exercises, what is your process when creating new and inventive exercises?
• Which exercise are you most proud of or which one do you use the most with your clients and why?
• We get a lot of questions about how trainers got to where they are today, what is your story?
• I have a question about knee pain. What advice would you give a very active 44 year old male with the following symptoms:
  There is pain in one knee when decending stairs, the same pain is felt when squatting
  The pain is more severe when the knee isnt warmed up.
  Sometimes a snapping sound is heard and felt when bending the knee – no pain.
  There is no pain when walking.
  The pain limits the intensity and duration of my workouts.
  I am trying to decide if I should go to my doctor to get it checked….any advice or general discussion of knee/joint health would be appreciated. (Please dont tell me I’m getting old!!)

• Hi my name is Matt, and I am just getting involved with MMA, and practice 2 times a week. I have trained  mainly for looks in the past, but now am needing something that will help my performance. I have been doing barbell complexes, intervals, metabolic lifting, and strength work. I just have no idea how to set up my workout for the week. For example I don’t know how many sessions of each I should do for the week, and I don’t know how to set up the order either. My weak areas would be arm strength and conditioning, So any help would be appreciated. -Matt
