What kind of tracking software is everyone using? Are you using paper sheets, Google sheets or forms, or some other kind of software? I remember Lawrence did a podcast with a company that designed tracking software for gyms at one point, but I can’t remember their name or if they are even still around.

Hi, I'm interested in your opinion on Ken Hutchins' book, Super Slow: The Ultimate Exercise Protocol. Has anyone here read it? I'm particularly interested because it was apparently developed in connection with patients who have osteoporosis.

When did you first discover it? Comment below! I'll go first...

I’m excited to announce that Barwich GmbH is now the official equipment sponsor of High Intensity Business. MedX machines have set the gold standard for decades — but sourcing them can be slow, limited, or expensive depending on where you’re based. That’s where Eggert Barwich comes in. With over 40 years working with Nautilus and MedX machines — plus a Mercedes-Benz engineering apprenticeship — Eggert manufactures German-engineered MedX equipment with smart upgrades and broader availability. Barwich machines are trusted worldwide, from Keiser Training in Australia to members of the HIB (Pro) community like Peter & Brian Collins. My former business partner and current HIB (Pro) member Sean Dunleavy runs his Galway studio on Barwich machines, and both he and his clients couldn’t be happier. I'm actually on my way to Sean's studio today to get a great workout on these machines! 👉 Right now, get 5% off orders of 6+ machines until October 31st, 2025. Learn more: medx.eu/contact 📝 Note on Brands I’ll continue highlighting a range of equipment manufacturers I believe in. Barwich has chosen to sponsor HIB, and their support helps me keep creating resources for this community. Check out the awesome design, machine, and factory photos below! 💬 Which MedX machine would you most like to add to your studio?

Hi Lawrence, I’m currently planning to set up a practice/studio. The total space is about 160 m², with approximately 110 m² allocated for training equipment. I’m considering working with around 10–12 machines, leaving the space uncluttered—potentially even fitting more if needed. I already have some experience in this area: back in 2007, I ran a practice that included a MedX LE machine along with about 10 other MedX training machines. Now, I’m wondering what my options are if I’m based in Germany (Europe) and don’t have easy access to MedX or Imagine Strength equipment. In principle, many machines could be used for controlled and slow training, but I suspect most might not be optimal for this purpose. For instance, I’ve looked into Nautilus One machines from a Chinese manufacturer and wonder if such machines could also be suitable for this approach. I even found one manufacture, that reproduce the old Nautilus machines 1:1, but they look very outdated today, to be honest. I’d also be interested in joining High Intensity Business Premium, but I’d like to first evaluate whether the method can be successfully implemented here given the available equipment options.
