Finally, www.tonyboutagy.com has been updated. This site is collaboration with my two colleagues Rachel Luff and Phil Roberts and will provide information on upcoming courses, articles and question and answers. I hope you find it useful.
PROGRAMMING FOR HYPERTROPHY WORKSHOPS
The next two weekends I will be heading around Australia giving a day talk on training for hypertrophy. The seminar is being sponsored by Network and I’ll be in Adelaide on the 16th of October and Perth on the 17th. Then the following weekend I’ll be in Melbourne on the 22nd, Brisbane on the 23rd and Sydney on the 24th. I will be discussing how I approach setting up hypertrophy programs for beginners, intermediate and advanced clients, with emphasis on exercise selection, technique, overload techniques and short-term periodization models. If you are interested in attending, please contact Australian Fitness Network on 02 8412 7400.
STRENGTH TRAINING & GLYCEAMIC CONTROL
On the 26th I will be giving at talk to medical doctors on the role strength training plays in controlling glucose and insulin levels in the type II diabetic and pre diabetic patient. I am really looking forward to giving this lecture, as I have a real passion for using nutrition, exercise, nutraceuticals and botanicals in the treatment of the metabolic syndrome. Hopefully this will give the GPs and better understand of what personal trainers can do to help improve the health of their at-risk patients.
