On Sunday I will be going to a studio which has 18 of the new IS pieces and the Analyzer. It is in Sarasota, Florida. If anyone has any questions they would like me to ask let me know

A fitting way to cap the trip

Reformer Pilates is back in vogue. Why do we think this is? The communal aspect?

things feel different something in the air something New is coming

I just stumbled on this community in the craziest way. I uploaded a YouTube short about failure showing footage of Mentzer with a client. I was telling some guy on the forum about it only to find out he's the guy in the footage! I probably wouldn't have glazed Markus the way I did, had I known I was immedietly going to talk to him about the footage 😅. It seems to me this is a community that has been focused first on bringing value to customers. I respect it. But I think the time will come when the HIT philosophy will reach a wider audience. I notice nobody on this forum is talking about the Mike Israetel PhD drama. Again I can respect that. But I think it is relevant to where we are at in this moment. Brief overview: Isreatel of YouTube channel Renaissance Periodization is known for bragging about being super high IQ and being a leading expert in his field (field unspecified). Solomon Nelson gets ahold of his PhD and tears it to pieces, in a YouTube that now has 1.4 million views, but also has countless reaction videos throughout the fitness YouTube space. Mike then has his personal PR team upload a forged document to the academic archives. This forged document was so poorly done it was extremely obvious it was fake. Plus the meta-data showed it was Mike Israetel's PR company that had recently uploaded the file. How does Mike Israetel's PR team have access to the academic archives? I can't be certain, but most likely through Mike Stone. Who is Mike Stone? Mike Stone is the protégé of Tudor Bompa who brought Periodization to the west after it's inception in Lysenkoism error Soviet Union. Periodization took off during the error when the Olympics were not testing for PEDs, and steroids were being used by athletes. The Soviet Union looked to a Physiologist in Medveyev to perscribe exercise based on his presumed understanding of how steroids would work. The precedent of letting physiologists dictate exercise perscription was thus set during a time when steroids were not only the cutting edge new technology, but kept secret and without any oversight from the Olympics.
