Z-Health/Mike T Nelson Testimonial
A few weeks ago I could pull (deadlift) 540 lbs no problem, but as soon as I put on 550 I was stuck at my knees. I talked with Mike T Nelson and he prescribed some ankle mobility drills and ankle lateral tilts. A few weeks ago I wanted to reach up and touch 95-97% of my 1RM, I remembered what Mike had taught me and I did these mobility drills between each of my sets. Once I passed the 405 mark I started to do them in my sumo DL stance and then it happened 555 flew up! Finally a training barrier that I can safely put behind me. Thanks Mike!

Excellent work Tommy!
Keep in mind that to make your joint mobility work most specific and increase your performance in a specific lift, you can do it in that position. In Tommy’s case, he deadlifts sumo style, so he did his joint mobility work in in his sumo stance; thus increasing the positive transfer to his sport (powerlifting).
If you are interested in picking up some mobility work, you can get the R Phase DVD from the Z-Health site. If you are in the Twin Cities/ St Paul Minnesota area and want to feel, move look and perform better, drop me a line at Mike@ExtremeHumanPerofrmance.com Subj “Z Health Session”and come on out for a session yourself!
