Testimonial from a Strongman!
I contacted Mike early in 2009 because of an injury I received during a heavy deadlift session. The injury was one that wasn’t getting better over time, and I kept spinning my wheels trying to work around the injury. I drove to Indianapolis to get a thorough assessment by Mike and Bill, and found that my flexibility in my hips and lower body was awful, especially for a 24 year old!
At first, I was dubious of changing the way I’ve been training. It’s obvious now that one should consult someone like the guys at IFAST if they want to find and fill the holes in your training that you may not know are there.
I also had to resort to distance training because of the mileage between my home and IFAST. Mike was great at answering any e-mail questions that I had, as well as analyzing videos of my lifts to tweak my form. Even if you live multiple states away, you can still take advantage of these guys’ knowledge.
With the help of Mike and Bill, I am now able to squat and train without any pain. Without a doubt, the guys at IFAST are the ones to talk to if you want to improve your flexibility, rehab an injury, or just learn how to optimize your training.
Thanks again guys!

Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training Client Profile: Maia Monchek Named Player of the Year
Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training athlete Maia Monchek was named The 2009 Daily News Player of the Year in leading Notre Dame-Belmont High School to the Central Coast Section Div. III Softball Championship.
Not only did she lead her team to the championship, she ended her high school softball career going 6-for-8 with a home run, two triples, a double, and two singles. She drove in four runs and scored 5 of the team’s 16 runs over the last 3 games.
On the season, she lead the team offesively in almost every statistical category with a .550 batting average, 55 hits, including 13 doubles, 5 triples, and 3 homers. She drove in 45 runs and scored 42 herself. She credits her new found power (and based on today’s reassessment a lot of hard earned muscle) to her off-season strength training program from IFAST.
By the way parents, she also has a 3.9 GPA!!
I’m also proud to say that Maia will be attending Purdue (Go Boilers!) on a softball scholarship this coming year. That gives us plenty of opportunity for some big gains over the next 4 years.
Way to go Maia!

Congrats Brandi!
Just a quick shout out to IFAST member Brandi Jenkins who took first place in the novice division of her Figure Competition last weekend!
Brandi worked her ass off, and I can’t tell you how proud we are of her. Keep up the great work!
Stay strong

Physique Transformation - Week 1 Results
Week 1 of the IFAST Phyisque Transformation Challenge is in the books!
Due to the holiday weekend, we weren’t able to weigh the contestants in on Monday like we normally planned. However, this gave us an added benefit - we got to see if they stuck to their diets over the holiday weekend!
I’m very happy about the first week’s results; here are the numbers:
Brody - Down 3.4 pounds
Jen - Down 4.2 pounds
Nick - Down 5.4 pounds
Jeff - Down 2.8 pounds
So everyone was down, and they netted an average of 3.95 pounds lost across them! Great job guys!
My wife Jessica started reviewing the diets yesterday as well, and I think once we combine better nutritional habits with the exercise program we’ve designed, the contestants are going to see some amazing results.
That’s it for today, but stay tuned for another update next week!
All the best
Mike

I can’t thank Mike and Bill enough for everything they have done for me. I am not training to compete, but I am working on getting into the best shape I possibly can. After working out at IFAST for 3 months I am much stronger, I have better posture, and I have much more energy.
I have always been active and enjoy working out, but it wasn’t until I joined IFAST that I truly understood how I should be working out. Mike and Bill’s training knowledge is amazing! We are truly lucky to have such an amazing team right here in Indianapolis!!
My favorite thing about iFAST is that they don’t treat me like a girl. That may sound funny, but it is true. They push me just like they push the guys in the gym. They make sure I am challenging my body to perform the best it can.
Thanks guys! You are the best!!
Ally D.
