This past week MBSC hosted a group of 12 trainers, strength coaches, physical therapists, and other fitness professionals who got to pick Mike’s brain on a wide range of subjects. We filmed a one hour talk/free form Q&A session from the first day for BodyByBoyle Online. In the talk Mike hits on a wide range of subjects and no topic was off limit.

Later this week we will also be posting a 1-hour Q&A session with Bob Hanson, Mike’s business partner who is the backbone of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. These talks are must watch if you work in fitness field. Learn from the mistakes that Mike and Bob made and how they turned MBSC into the #1 gym in America.

Also Make sure to constantly be logging into BodyByBoyle Online as we update the content at least once a week! Don't miss out on the latest seminars, in services, staff meetings, programs, etc.

In the last few weeks we have been posting a ton of video for BodyByBoyle Online Members. Just a few weeks ago we posted a 90 minute in service seminar from Kelly Starret of MobilityWOD.

As of late we have also been posting the staff meetings leading up to the summer session that breakdown the how and why of every aspect of the summer program. If you didn’t know, the summer program is basically our off season program to achieve maximum results in about 12 weeks.

In the meetings you will also get to sit in on the debates on exercises selection, speed drills, mobility, medball work, etc. Afterwards you will really see the ins and outs of what we do at MBSC. So sit back, pop open a protein shake and soak in all of the info.

Another big update this week for BodyByBoyle Online Members! Also we are going to be filming a talk that Kelly Starrett is giving to our staff today. Look for that in a week or so.

Now for some Big News: 

We are going to be adding our entire exercise database of over 380 movements to the BodyByBoyle Online Website. They should all be posted under "Exercise Collection," over the next few weeks.

Now to the rundown of updates:

• Phase 3 of the 2011 Summer Program
• First Three Parts of the Sandbag Seminar in Arizona
• May 03, 2011 Staff Meeting

Have a great weekend!!!

The summer session is coming to an end at MBSC with our NFL guys heading to camp and the college athletes getting ready for preseason. 

This week we bring you the second half of the Dan John Staff talk where he goes through some Olympic lift mechanics. There are tons of coaching cues in there that you can carry over into a bunch of different lifts.

Along with that we have the April 14^th Staff Meeting. Now we are getting into the program design discussions for the summer session. Make sure you have your pen ready to take notes as Mike talks about the reasoning behind the summer program. 

We don’t take it lightly when we say, “BodyByBoyle Online is the #1 Educational Resource for Fitness Professionals and Enthusiasts.” And as you can see, BodyByBoyle Online is not just about learning from Mike Boyle, many guest lecturers come into MBSC to present to the staff. From Sue Falsone of Athletes Performance, to Charlie Weingroff, to Nick Tumminello of PerformanceU, and so on, you get to hear from the best minds in their fields. Mike highly values continuing education for himself and the staff at MBSC. It is one of the reasons why Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning was voted  #1 Gym in America by Men’s Health Magazine. With BodyByBoyle Online you get to sit in on these private seminars just like you were part of the staff.

This week we are bringing you the first hour of a two hour talk Coach Dan John gave to the MBSC staff. If you have ever seen Dan John talk before, you know he will give you tons of information that you can apply right away to your training as well as your clients.

We also posted a 1-hour video of our pro group training on a Lateral day. Come hang out at the facility on a morning during the summer. This was just the first of a series we will be doing, kind of a test run. Look for more videos like this down the road.

More staff meetings are coming later this week so make sure to keep logging back into BodyByBoyle Online, continue educating yourself, and become one of the best at what you do in the world of fitness.

It is pretty amazing that we are starting Phase 2 this week at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. So far the summer is just flying by! From the feedback so far it sounds like our members and their athletes love the Summer program! We are very glad to hear that. Phase 2 kicks things up a notch with some new progressions and warm ups.

The next two months will bring your guys  the next two phases of the summer program along with the staff meetings where we actually discuss the reasoning behind the summer programs. You get to sit in on the debates that decided the movements we used this summer.

Also as part of the Summer programming for BodyByBoyle Online Members I will be sitting down with Mike regularly to answer questions about the summer program. If you have a question about the summer program, or the content in general you can shoot an e-mail to support@bodybyboyleonline.com with the subject line, “Questions for Mike.” Please make use of this as many of the questions will receive video responses, and with the kinds of questions we normally get, it is just impossible to give you a good answer without a visual reference.

On top of the Summer Session Q&A with Mike this week we have two more staff meetings (April 7^th and 12^th). We plan to have at least one more for you next week as well as Phase 2 of the summer program!

That is all for today, have a great week and continue to send us feedback to let us know what you want to see on BodyByBoyle Online!!!

Phase 1 of the Summer Session, Mike’s Perform Better Hands On, and More!

We are now one week into the Summer session at Mike Boyle Strength and Condition. You can join in with us now since we have posted Phase 1 of the summer program on bodybyboyleonline.com. It will be posted on the XPS software as well but there is a bit of a delay due to a video problem they are having. I have been told they have identified the problem and they are working on fixing it.

In the meantime you can view the program by accessing the members area of the website under the, “Program Viewer.”

Along with that we have also posted the first half of videos from Mike’s 2011 Perform Better Hands On session. Mike takes the attendees through a bunch of exercises that we do at MBSC as well as the reasoning behind them.

Finally we are putting together a series of videos to accompany the Summer 2011 program where I interview Mike about all the changes made to the 2011 program from the 2010 program. It should provide lots of insight into the program design process and what Mike has learned in the last year.

That is all for now, I will keep you posted on when the XPS video issue is fixed. Until then you can view Phase 1 of the Summer program and all of the videos on our website. If you do not have access to the website just shoot me an e-mail: support@bodybyboyleonline.com

Have a great week!

Charlie Weingroff came to MBSC last week to talk to our staff. BodyByBoyle Online members can now watch the whole talk that was over an hour!

This week we are filming the training our interns get for our members. You get to see an in depth look on how we coach just about everything we do at MBSC. Keep a look out!

Been a busy week at the facility putting the finishing touches on our Summer Program. Soon you will get to see the actual process we go through to design the most important program of the year. Lots of in depth discussion among the staff and Mike. It will literally give you the reasoning behind many of the changes to this year's program. As you know, we film all of our staff meetings so you can sit in as we go through the whole design of the program.

Tomorrow Charlie Weingroff will be presenting to our staff for 90 minutes, if you are in the strength and conditioning field you know Charlie has some fantastic educational content and some very interesting ideas when it comes to training. We will be filming it all and posting it for you guys!

And then on Friday, we will be filming Mike’s practical at the Perform Better Summit in Providence Rhode Island. Again, that will be coming exclusively to BodyByBoyle Online Members in the coming weeks.

For this week’s update we have posted

• Phase 2 (New Athlete as well as the more advanced “Returning” program). (Keep in mind it can take up to 24 hours to update to the XPS servers, but you can download the program from the website version)
• Charles Staley 1-Hour Olympic Lift Workshop (Parts 4-6)
  
• Staff Meeting from March 31 2011

That is it for this week! We hope to see you at the Perform Better Summit this Weekend!

Last week Mike and I (Kevin) were out in Arizona for what may turn out to be Functional Strength Coach 4. While I was out there I filmed two awesome hands on sessions. The first half of one of them has been posted. It is will Charles Staley going through how he teaches the Olympic lifts. If you work with these lifts at all you will pick up a bunch of things you can utilize right away! Look for the second half later this week.

I also filmed a hands on session on sandbag training which is starting to become very popular for performance and fat loss training.

The March 29^th staff meeting has been posted as well. Look for another staff meeting later this week.

Finally, the next phase of the Spring 2011 program will be posted. We are just putting the finishing touches on the Summer program as well!

Have a great week!
