The presentations by me, Bill De Simone, Mark Sisson and Doug McGuff, MD at the 2011 Indianapolis High Intensity Training Seminar are now available on DVD at IndyHITSeminar.com
The full DVD set includes all four exercise and nutrition presentations from this year’s seminar:
Drew Baye: Teaching High Intensity Training
An extemporaneous discussion of key elements of teaching and instructing exercise and the difference between being an educator and a rep counter.
Bill DeSimone: Congruent Exercise: Biomechanics for Better Workouts
Biomechanical analysis of the structure and function of the spine and joints and the muscles acting on them and applications for exercise.
Mark Sisson: Ideal Eating Strategies
Strategies for eating for optimal health and fitness, with a focus on fat loss and tips for endurance athletes.
Doug McGuff, MD: The Synergy of High Intensity Training and The Primal Diet
An in depth look at the metabolic consequences of a healthy versus unhealthy diet and how high intensity training and the eating strategies discussed by Mark Sisson work together to produce optimal health, fitness and body composition.
If you weren’t there you missed an incredible educational opportunity (and some humorous digressions involving comparative anatomy of the spine during Bill’s presentation) and some of the best presentations on exercise since the SSEG conventions of the 90’s. I am honored to have been part of such an amazing event and excited the presentations are now available on DVD for everyone who wasn’t able to see them in Indianapolis.
Thanks again to Bo and Stephanie Railey and everybody at Exercise Inc. for putting on another great seminar and for making the presentations available on DVD.

BTW, I did a different presentation than the one listed. The one listed is the one Anthony Johnson has available, and is the one I did for Luke Carlson and Discover Strength/HIT Resurgence. Based on the feedback from those two, I adjusted the material a bit.
For Bo, I did “Basic Biomechanics for Weight Training”, which started from the joints and worked its’ way towards exercises. If I had to do it again, Basic would come first, followed by the You Tube videos, followed by Congruent; finishing with Moment Arm, which I think is a bit esoteric for new trainers. Unfortunately, I did them in the order they occurred to me, but better to have them out than wait for the perfect plan.
Hi Drew,
I have a neck/spine injury that causes me chronic inflammation throughout my body. The worst area is in my tailbone and right hip joint. If this is a chronic stress for me and exercise is a type of stress, do you think that only doing 1-3 exercises with a low to medium level of intensity(to start with), would be best for me?
I haven’t been in a strength training routine in a long time, but I have been studying from you guys in the HIT community. Does it matter if I use machines or free weights? I do enjoy using a shrug bar.
Lastly, do I use exercise to reduce this pain problem or do I try to reduce the pain before exercising?
Thanks, John
John,
Which exercises, how many, what equipment, which modalities for pain management, etc. would be best depends on the specific type and the severity of your injury. The short answer is start very conservatively and progress gradually while paying very close attention to how your neck is affected by and responds to your workouts. If you want to discuss this in detail I’m available for phone consultations.
