    Natural movement certification weekend

    ByIvan Nikolov November 25, 2014

    Last weekend I got certified as a MovNat Level I trainer. I spent a whole weekend with folks just like me who sought to learn, and many of them teach later, how to move more efficiently and safely. I had the pleasure to learn from Vic Verdier – the Master Instructor of MovNat and from…

    ByIvan Nikolov October 18, 2014

    It has been two months since I made the floor abs exercises video, which turned out to be the final concentrated physical effort that put me out of commission. I had already been suffering from some Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) in my shoulders left wrist and elbow. But, these I could somewhat deal with until,…

    A guide to your first chin-up ever (VIDEO)

    ByIvan Nikolov August 21, 2014

    [youtube id=”ZV0TvvKc5AQ&list=PLpiVQoJwq0ihSAZAIrkslI1uzHaHu5u1L”] I have 25 years of training. I cannot tell you how often I have seen guys who move around pretty impressive weights in the gym but yet cannot do a single chin-up (much less a pull-up). I think that’s a pity.

    Like a lot of folks out there, I strive to be healthy and with this I try to do what I know should aid to my “good health” efforts and avoid doing what I think is clearly damaging to my health (and by extension physical performance). I like cooking with cow’s butter and I also…

    Important dietary considerations for inducing muscular hypertrophy

    ByIvan Nikolov August 5, 2014

    During my competitive bodybuilding years I, just like everyone else in this particular field, was mainly interested in increasing my muscle size. This is no longer the case. Still, the science of inducing Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) and counteracting the Muscle Protein Breakdown (MPB) fascinates me a lot. It still applies to what I do,…
