How much to charge clients
Another great episode: https://youtu.be/9xf3rbMAFC8?si=jGO-1VMCdXm-uOWS Absolute gold nuggets discussed: 1) Sensible (modest) pricing to get started from 0 clients and "tiering up" prices as you fill your schedule 2) 100 once-per-week clients may well be better than 50 twice-per-week clients from a business continuity perspective Thank you!

Suggestions on HIT machines
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 I even found one manufacture, that reproduce the old Nautilus machines 1:1, but they look very outdated today, to be honest.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. Images below: Hammer Strength, Nautilus One Thank you in advance for your support!

@Lawrence Neal Sorry no update.

As i know a little bit about Chinese ecommerce, just in case someone reads this later on, make sure you write down the exact weight of a unit or machine. Even or especially on a trade show. - Sometimes what you see and even test and what you get later on has not the same quality. - With that said, quality can be good, when you know where to buy. - Your iPhone comes also from China....
Mike Mentzer/ Dorian Yates Hyper Reps
I would like to get a group together for a zoom call to discuss this workout. I've been fascinated with this workout story and would like to know if anyone else has tried it or a variation of it. I tried a negative only variation that was interesting. Here's a link to the video https://youtu.be/txVFOvzTB5c?si=YgbTkyT8q6gG5cWj

@Pete Cerqua I have no doubt about that. If you enjoy training that way, go for it! Since I find the topic interesting, let me add a quick note. I have the DVD and his books—probably like you—and, to be honest, the video doesn’t make things very clear. Markus does a very slow rep, then takes a 12-second pause; after that, someone takes over the positive (concentric) phase for him and he continues with negative reps. When you think about it, that’s not much different from a drop set. The issue, as the video also says, is that you need assistance to get through the concentric phase after the first rep in order to keep going. On top of that, it’s mentally tricky. Most people will unconsciously choose a weight for the first rep that they could actually lift for 2–3 reps, which kind of defeats the purpose. But as I said, feel free to try it—and enjoy the muscle soreness!

@Pete Cerqua What do you think of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCG_bqiLV0o
Workout content for beginners?
Do you have a go-to workout video or resource you send to someone who wants to get started? I constantly have people ask me for personal training. I don’t personal train any more people, so I’d like to send them a simple free training program. For example, Like a big-5 overview with bodyweight, free weights and machines. If you have a lead magnet or download you use to get emails, and it fits my needs, please comment below.

As this depends heavily on the goal an individual have, not sure if there is one paper or video that would fit all. - If someone not willing or able to pay anything, go to free google NotebookLM, put the best 5 youtube videos in there, regarding to your goals or problems and let the AI put a training plan together, that might be better then 80% of what a personal trainer in a local gym would give you.
Super Slow: The Ultimate Exercise Protocol
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.

@Lawrence Neal As mentioned in the study and 2nd study they have done 2 years later as far as i could see, the drop down from chin up seems perfectly save. (That is what i called maybe jumping) - At least in the group, they had no issue with that. When you think of it, how people break bones it makes sense, as most of them fall to the ground or try to lift something heavy from the ground. Never heard of someone to be honest that tried to jump a bit and broke their bones (without falling). I think that all disc and muscle buffer enough, so that force from down under is not enough to break anything. But bones get stronger through compressive and tensile forces. You can get tensile forces from strength training, but not really not that much axial compression—especially for the spine, when you use only machines and not free weight. In the study, they did mostly powerlifting exercises with free weight for 3 sets each, medium weight, as far as fast read. People obviously were also handpicked for it. They made sure, that people that got into that kind of training, were stable enough to perform it, what ever that means. - But the results where really good as far as i could read, much better than the people doing home exercise program.

@Lawrence Neal found a video on how the exercise in the research paper are done. Got me a little bit confused with the jumping part, reading it. - Maybe someone else is interested in that as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP5oCmbhwnQ
