I’ve been asked some iteration of this question A LOT lately…
“Yo Mike – what’s new? And why haven’t you been posting as much?”
And frankly, I wish the answer were something short and sweet!
But sometimes life just isn’t cut and dry.
Sometimes there are layers, nuance and depth to what’s going on.
So today, I’m going to give you a little history tour on how I got started in this space, what the past 20+ years has looked like, and where I’m headed in the future.
You might not be taking furious notes from this one, but I hope it gives you some insights as to where I’m at in life!
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
My content creation journey, and how RTS originally started.

A look back on the sheer volume of content I’ve created over the years (Hint: It’s a lot!)
A key question that I could answer easily in 2005, but which got harder and harder as I got older
The IFAST Basketball Insiders experiment: Why it bombed miserably, and what I learned from it

Level Up Your Exercise Selection and Technique with Whatsthatstrap!
Are you looking for ways to coach more effectively while cuing less?
Or getting your clients and athletes into the right position WITHOUT overwhelming them with 35 cues every set?
If so, you need to check out Whatsthatstrap!
What’s That Strap makes specialty cable machine attachments that are specifically designed for rotation and multidirectional movement.
The 3D Strap is amazing for driving separation between the hips and shoulders like you would in tennis, golf, baseball or even basketball, but it can also be used to resist rotation in standard weight room exercises like squats and lunges as well.
And while the 3D Strap is awesome, I also find myself using their chop handles all the time as well. Whether it’s for exercises like chops and lifts, or just using them as a bonus sled dragging attachment, I absolutely love their versatility.
To learn more about Whatsthatstrap or pick up a 3D Strap or chop handles, head over to WhatsThatStrap.com and use the discount code RTS at checkout to get free shipping on all US orders.
I know you’re going to love training with their attachments!
