Five Exercises You Should Stop Doing... Forever! | T Nation

...and this is the problem when you get your information from the internet. Some exercises are wrong at times and not others. Some exercises are right for some people but not for others. Blanket statements and health/fitness/nutrition rarely belong together. Experienced professionals understand what tool to use and when in order to generate the intended result.

Eight Signs You Need More Magnesium | Poliquin Article

We love our mag here at FSS! It's also quite important to understand that there are different types of magnesium. Magnesium will be found chelated (attached) to different compounds and it's these chelates that will dictate what effect the magnesium has. Dosage is also important.

Here's some Christmas inspiration. Chris is 64 years young and as strong as someone half her age. Not bad considering that not too long ago she was stuck to the couch with a fractured pelvis. I suspect many older persons shy away from lifting due to the perceived risk of injury. The irony here is that not lifting exposes you to a higher risk of injury. As the sayings goes - you can't go wrong with strong and Chris is testament to that.

Coach Isaac pictured here after a tough training session with Coach Anthony, pretty obvious which mode he engaged today!

Increasing muscle strength can improve brain function: study

Many of our clients have had their 21st birthday two or three times. The importance of strength training for those in the mid to later stages of life cannot be over stated.

Proof that strength training is necessary to prevent chronic low back problems

Much of our work is dedicated to getting our clients looking and feeling better. Whilst we don't pretend to be pain specialists we do see the positive effects of strength training on pain. Getting strong(er) is rarely a bad thing.
