Just posting a comment to see if I can win that “$100” gift certificate!

A FitCast shirt spotted in Canada?? Hell, I haven’t seen one here in the States yet. I don’t know what I’d do if I saw someone wearing it. That would just be awesome.

Kevin, you need to do your shows on Spike from now on, that was hilarious.

Lookin forward to listening at the gym, hope Im not let down, you’ve built it up with the Spike comments on facebook! 🙂

I’ll be sure to comment back with your grade after I listen 🙂

G’day Kevin,

This week’s show was great to listen to – its good to see (hear) you getting inspired about things – you talked about ( i think it was Todd?) getting into his gym and being positive around & with his clients. Its kinda cool that the effect of the Perform Better seminar is having the same effect on you – that same inspirational energy was definitely tumbling out of you on that podcast. (OK, it might have just been the Spike double-shot, but either way, the energy was definitely there!). The 1% idea is a gem.

When you were talking about the movement screen, I was thinking: “uh-oh, some crazy person is going to misinterpret what you are saying, and start a pointless flame/war on the site about a minor point of detail”… I guess we shall see… With any luck if it does happen, it will hopefully remain civil! Maybe you might be able to line up Gray Cook as a guest on the show?

Also was great to hear the good Dr Fass chill out a bit around training protocols – the “must do & do not” Dr Fass of old, vs the new “yeah, if you really want to do it, throw it in, as long as its not going to undermine your goals/training needs”.

The only thing that was missing this week: Leigh! Hey Leigh – waddup?

Cheers,

Mark D.

G’day All.

Great show this week.

The old school workout items you where trying to remember I think are Indian Clubs.

Search for DIY Strength equipment and you can get some ideas about how to make them and some other fun stuff to challenge your training.

PS. One of those who at 37 is thinking about becoming a personal trainer.

Kevin,

I just wanted to point out that in Episode 139 you said that Avatar was going to flop….ummm, oops? Good call on that one. 🙂

Terry is right, they are called Indian Clubs. This link shows Louis Simmons using them for shoulder rehab:

Oh, and the FitCast rocks. 😀

I just started looking into the TRX bands/straps a couple of days ago. I’m in college and I just cant in good conscience spend two hundred bucks on them. Its a pretty awesome coincidence a few days later your offering this gift card to alleviate some of the cost. so sign me up haha. Love your podcast 🙂

Great show, you’ve inspired me to buy some spike 🙂

What up Kevin,

I never post but I listen to the podcast all the time, its one of my favorite fitness podcast. There are not many people in my life that think dead lifting is cool. So I get alot of motivation from listening to shows like the fitcast. Keep up the good work.

Stats: 5’8″ 39yr male 171 Lbs (lost 33 Lbs since March 2009), current work out 5-3-1, Goal is to join 1000 lbs club (current bench 230, squat 245, deadlift 285)

What up, guys. I subscribed to the FitCast about 40 episodes ago and I’ve really learned a lot. Actually ended up picking up both a TRX and a set of Valslides for myself over the holidays. I have a question regarding the TRX vs. Valslides. For exercises that you can perform on both apparati (i.e. mountain climbers, hamstring curls), is there an advantage in performing them on the TRX vs. the valslide? Or does it change from exercise to exercise? Or does it even matter?

Great podcast. I loved the quotes from the speakers that you shared. Any ladies shirts in grey coming?
