Rock Solid Fitness & Co at the Resistance Exercise Conference
On the 9th and 10th March 2018, I attended the Resistance Exercise Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US. I had one of the best weekends of my life.
I had the opportunity to meet some of my personal heroes, podcast guests and listeners, learn from amazing minds and network with a great strength training community. I came away from the event feeling incredibly inspired and connected to a great group of individuals passionate about strength training and motivated to make the world a healthier place.
If you are passionate about high intensity training, becoming a great personal trainer or want to start and/or grow your strength training business, this is the place to be.
I will be looking to attend every single year.

You will be hearing from Arthur Jones’s former right hand man, Jim Flanagan (see Part 1 and Part 2), motivation scientist & author, Michelle Segar (No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness), Lower Back strengthening expert, Dr. Ted Dreisinger (email Ted to tdreisinger[at]therapyadvisors[dot]com), and PhD candidate, Rob Morton (Understanding Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy: Protein Metabolism and Resistance Training).

- Dr Ted Dreisinger
Together, we cover:
- The importance of working ‘on’ the business rather than ‘in’ the business
- How to effectively sell exercise machines

- Removing lower back pain
- The most effective ways to strengthen the lower back
- Should you workout fasted?
