Deliver Better Results and Make More Money with My Complete Training Blueprint

My name is Mike Robertson and if you want to have more success with your clients and athletes, work fewer hours, and make more money, then you need to read this right now.

I got into this field because I love helping people achieve their physique and athletic-related goals.

There’s absolutely nothing better than when a coach and athlete achieve something together.

But one thing that you’re not told when you get into this industry is how big of a grind it can be.

I don’t care how passionate you are about training people – there are only so many 60, 70 and 80 hour training weeks you can pull before you get frustrated, burned out, or flat-out quit.

And I speak from experience, because I’ve seen every nook and cranny of the fitness industry.

From one-on-one, to semi-private, to large group training.

And I’ve also worked the spectrum from rehab, to personal training, to athletic development.

Like you, I’ve always had three things that have driven me:

1 – To help my clients and athletes get amazing results.

2 – To become really good at my craft.

3 – And to take that hard work and dedication and be compensated fairly for it.

My goal has always been to become the best coach and trainer possible, so that my value goes up as well.

Since I started in the industry in 2000, my commitment to coaching and continuing education have helped me become one of the most sought after coaches and consultants in the industry.

I’ve trained pro athletes from every major sport (including all-stars in the NBA and MLS), and I’m currently the performance coach for the Indy Eleven professional soccer team.

My gym, Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training, has been named one of the Top 10 Gym’s in America by Men’s Health magazine three times in six years.

And I’ve gotten the opportunity to lecture across the world, and write for major publications like Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, T-Nation and Bodybuilding.com about how we train our clients and athletes.

Now I don’t say this to brag or boast – on the contrary, if we met in real life we’d probably have a great chat over a beer or cup of coffee.

Here’s what important to you:

I created my own reality, because I wasn’t happy or fulfilled working 60, 70 and 80 hour weeks just to make ends meet.

And just like I created my reality, so can you.

That’s why I created the Physical Preparation 101 DVD’s – to help people like you get better results with their clients and athletes.

A True Training System…

Not a Collection of Exercises, Sets and Reps

Unlike many of the great coaches and trainers before me, I grew up with this crazy thing called The Internet.

I got access to a slew of coaches worldwide that people 5-10 years before didn’t have access to.

And this access has allowed me to take in a ton of amazing information, combine it with my own knowledge and experience, and synthesize it into my own training system.

And that’s what this is – a training system.

Not a hodge podge, random mix of exercises or routines.

This is not another fitness product – this is a complete training system that will streamline everything you do, from writing better programs to coaching exercises more effectively.

The Physical Preparation 101 Training System

The Physical Preparation 101 series is a two-day seminar I recorded while lecturing in Dublin, Ireland.

The goal of the program was to give the trainers and coaches who attended an in-depth analysis of my training system.

Great programming is the starting point – you need to know the X’s and O’s to make sure that the workouts you create will give the desired effect.

But even the best program is worthless without great coaching to back it up.

You could prescribe all the right exercises, but if your clients and athletes aren’t executing them with proper technique, then they won’t get the results that they would expect!

Here’s an overview of what we cover in this video series:

• R7 – A programming template you can use to build consistently great programs (that get AMAZING results)
• The PRINCIPLES of smart training and conditioning that have stood up to the test of time
• The nuts and bolts of program design – sets, reps, rest periods and time under tension – and how to manipulate them for maximal progress
• Sample programs and templates for fat loss, muscle gain, strength and athletic development
• The single-biggest issue you’ll see with breathing and core exercises – and HOW TO FIX IT
• How to have someone squat safely and effectively in their very first session
• A progression to coach the deadlift that will stop lower back issues in their tracks
• Overhead exercises – should you use them? And if so, how do you get someone overhead safely and effectively?
• Reaching vs. Rowing – A CRITICAL distinction in your programming that will put you light-years ahead of your competition
• The REAL reason you should put single-leg and split-stance work in your programming (HINT: It’s not about strength!)

But that’s just a quick overview; here’s a complete breakdown of what you’ll learn in each DVD:

Video 1 – The R7 Approach to Training

When we’re first starting out, program design is one of the most challenging aspects of our job.

However, that’s only because you don’t have a template to build your programs from. Each one is made uniquely – from scratch.

Once you understand and apply the R7 approach to your program design, you’ll immediately write superior programs, in less time than ever before.

Video 2 – 10 Principles of Smart Training

In this day and age of “new” exercises and training protocols, it’s time to get back to basics.

What are the principles that lie underneath every great training program?

Once you know and understand these 10 principles, writing programs and customizing the training process will become infinitely easier.

Videos 3 & 4 – Program Design 101

Every program we’ve created has used sets, reps, rest periods and time under tension to create a training effect.

But having a deeper understanding of how all these variables work together to create adaptation is crucial.

In this talk, I go deep on the variables we have at our disposal, and show you how to bring them all together to supercharge your training programs.

Video 5 – The Intelligent Approach to Conditioning

Conditioning is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Just like you need to tweak your exercise selection, sets and reps based on the client in front of you, the same goes for the conditioning you prescribe.

In this lecture we discuss the various methods of energy system training at your disposal, and how each one should fit into the programs you create.

Video 6 – Sample Programming

Up to this point, you’ve got an incredible overview of program design, and how to lay out superior training programs.

But rather than leave it at that, I took the time to show sample programs for clients who want to build muscle, lose fat, build strength, or improve their athleticism.

Why start from scratch, when you can have a reference guide to help you get started? This DVD will bring all the pieces together, and help you start writing better programs TODAY.

Video 7 – Coaching Breathing and Core Training

Breathing is a hot topic in the industry today, and for good reason.

But what most people don’t realize is that many coaches cue “belly breathing” or “diaphragmatic breathing” totally wrong!

In this video I discuss the various aspects of proper breathing, and then show how proper breathing lays the foundation for effective core training.

Video 8 – Coaching the Squat

The squat has been vilified for years now, even though it’s a fundamental movement pattern that we must work to maintain.

Quite simply, squatting is something that every client or athlete should be working on.

In this video I show you how we coach the squat, as well as the exercises that we’ve found to get anyone squatting safely in a matter of minutes.

Video 9 – Coaching the Deadlift

Many coaches are wary of the deadlift, because their clients or athletes have struggled with lower back issues in the past.

In this video we break down the deadlift, and show ways to cue the exercise that will effectively load the glutes and hamstrings, while keeping pressure off the low back.

The progression I outline here can make a profound impact on how your clients move and feel.

Video 10 – Coaching Horizontal Reaching and Rowing Exercises

Horizontal reaching and rowing exercises look simple at first glance, but many of our clients and athletes aren’t doing them correctly!

Furthermore, why should we opt for reaching exercises early-on in a program, versus the standard bench press variations?

In this video, we not only break down progressions and regressions for reaching and rowing, but really dive in to explore what good technique looks and feels like.

Video 11 – Coaching Vertical Reaching and Rowing Exercises

Going overhead may not be in the cards for every client or athlete we train.

However, there’s a key distinction between loading and learning – and most of our clients and athletes need to learn how to go overhead, even if they don’t load it.

This video will cover the variations and progressions we use to take someone from horizontal exercises to vertical exercises in the safest and most effective manner possible.

Video 12 – Coaching Split-Stance and Single-Leg Exercises

While strength and power are built around exercises like squats and deadlifts, stability and control are crucial for single-leg and split-stance work.

However, most jump blindly into these variations, without understanding how to derive maximal benefit.

In this video we’ll discuss how to get the most out of your single-leg and split-stance work, and give you a sequence that will streamline the process.
