A tip for trainers on correcting form errors in a way that is encouraging rather than discouraging: phrase corrections as instruction rather than criticism. Instead of telling them what they're doing wrong, tell them how to do it correctly. For example, say "slower" rather than "too fast", or say "breathe" rather than "stop holding your breath".
I don't understand how your video showed up on my home page, but this was encouraging to hear. I'm not a personal trainer. I'm a beginner working out from my bedroom. With the knowledge you just shared, I'm going to make the effort not to take for granted the training I'm doing and discipline I'm learning. This is indeed an arduous activity to add in my mid 40s. So I will remember what the trainers are going through and try to work as hard as I can to make them proud. Thank you :)
A family member stumbled upon the HIT workouts last September, Of course I was skeptical because I have had it chiseled in my memory to work out 3-4 days a week,muliple sets.Now 10 months later I can attest that this is the best workout I have performed.I have read Dr McGuffs book "Body by science" and it has been a blessing.I have also read Mike Mentzer's book .Im 58 and I dont think I was will ever deviate from the HIT workout! Thanks
Hey Doc! Just turned 70 and feel great thanks to coming across your work several years ago. Thank you for your work and all the others who make a big difference.
Dr. McGuff! Been waiting for a new video. I’m not a trainer but just wanted you to know I bought body by science. HIT training has transformed me massively. You have given me a lot of knowledge. Think I have watched every video of yours as well. Love this way of training. Thank you for what you do!
Love the encouragement! My longest was training 21 clients in a day. Yes, grueling and satisfying. I still love what I do and am in my 25th year (I’m 73) as a HIT trainer. Doug, you’ve been a true inspiration. One day, long ago, we had a conversation. I asked you for 3 tips before embarking on this career. You said, 1) “Rent the smallest sq ft facility you can find and get as busy as hell, 2) get a low back machine because ‘you can’t swing a cat in any direction and not hit someone with a low back problem’, and 3) nobody cares about their chart or your charting. “ Remember? Much appreciated and oh so true!
Dr. McGuff, thank you for all of the incredible work you do to lift the health and fitness of so many people. Your combination of evidence based practices, practical advice and confidence inspiring encouragement are a true gift to us all.
If I could do 15 daily workouts in a row, every day from Monday to Saturday, I would probably be much less burned out with this wonderful and misunderstood profession. Thanks for the encouragement Doug!!
I've been doing BbScience for about two years now, and it keeps getting better. I've never stuck with one system for this long. Intensity can be trained! Intensity is not something a person either has or doesn't have. My first three or four months were spent getting used to the process and since then I've been able to up the intensity, and with it strength gains, regularly. I was used to strength training going in, imagine how much longer it might take a beginner? If I was helping a beginner I'd have them go for a pretty low level of discomfort, knowing that in a year they'll be spending 20 seconds grinding out that last rep while their arms look like they are going to shake lose.
Dear Dr. McGuff - thank your for sharing and caring! Remember you talking about avoiding the „black swan“ ? Is there an update to that topic? Appreciate your solid and intelligent work, Sir! 👊
IMO Training is uncomfortable becuase it is dynamic and a performance. A static levitation removes all angst and assures success for trainee and ttrainer. But, the trainer profession is out of control and counter-productive in general. The proper protocol requires no tiredness, no challenge, no fatigue and results "dope shit ... falling prey to the narcissists"

Are there any physical benefits of cold showers?
Hi doc. Can I know like why you breathe very fast while exercise? Can you explain physiology behind it?😊
Thank you
