The Future of the Fitness Industry and the Beginning of the Revolution
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole reveals his vision of the fitness industry in the future. He discusses how the industry must get its act together if it hopes to be taken seriously, and how he’s committed to doing his part in transforming the industry into a much more credible, honest and scientific field. Doug also encourages everyone to be more thoughtful in their approach to exercise, and less influenced by marketing hype, ego and trends.

What is “The Brignole Method”?
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole discusses the physiological factors involved in muscular development, aside from the biomechanical factors. He explains the ideal strategy for structuring the workout, how much intensity is enough and too much, volume training versus fatigue training, workout frequency and recovery. And he reveals why so many of the traditional exercise methods are compromised.

What Are the BRIG-20?
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole explains why the BRIG-20 are the 20 best biomechanical movements / exercises for muscular development benefits. He talks about how the industry has mislead everyone into believing that people need multiple exercises for each muscle group, at each workout—and why these exercises are good for everyone, despite gender, age and individual goals To purchase Doug Brignole's latest book, "The Physics of Resistance Exercise” click here: THE TRUE BODY BUILDING PROGRAM & THE PHYSICS OF FITNESS ONLINE PROGRAM are available at Need Website and Marketing Videos or a Podcast Just Like This One?

The Illusion of Legendary Bodybuilders and Conventional Exercise

The Illusion of Legendary Bodybuilders and Conventional Exercise
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole describes how it is that legendary bodybuilders achieved apparently great results using conventional weight lifting exercise, despite those exercises being compromised. He also explains how compound exercises became so revered among bodybuilders, and isolation exercises remained so under-appreciated, despite the fact that basic physics could be used to disprove those beliefs.

Misguided Exercise Trends and Poorly Designed Exercise Machines

Misguided Exercise Trends and Poorly Designed Exercise Machines
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole talks about how the over-commercialization of the fitness industry has leads millions of consumers, including most trainers, down a path of compromised results and elevated injury risk. Rather than catering to people's biomechanical requirements, the industry has catered to what is most marketable, with little regard for scientific truth. The result is an industry is complete disarray, confusion and false beliefs.

Understanding Musculoskeletal Design is Critical to Determining Which Exercises Are Ideal

Understanding Musculoskeletal Design is Critical to Determining Which Exercises Are Ideal
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole explains why being familiar with our musculoskeletal design is so important, for the purpose of exercise selection. All skeletal muscles produce a specific anatomical motion, which is defined by its “origin” and its “insertion”. Muscles all pull their corresponding limb toward that muscle’s origin, and this determines its natural pathway. Therefore, the ideal pathway for an exercise intended for that particular muscle should mimic that muscles natural pathway. Any movement that differs from that specific anatomical motion will produce diminished muscular development benefit, commensurate with the degree to which that motion differs from the muscle’s actual natural pathway. This is one of the 16 Brignolean Principles of Biomechanics, for optimal resistance exercise.

Understanding the Physics of the Human Anatomy

Understanding the Physics of the Human Anatomy
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole talks about how the body is a mechanical device, similar to a crane. Therefore, all the standard principles of physics that apply to pulleys and levers also apply to the body. Understanding and utilizing these principles allows us to maximize muscle loads without straining the skeleton, spine and joints. Doug explains why it’s foolish to not know these principles, if a person is serious about optimizing muscular development—especially for trainers who are charged with the task of keeping their clients safe and of optimizing their benefits.

The Neurological Factors Which Influence Resistance Exercise

The Neurological Factors Which Influence Resistance Exercise
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole explains how many resistance exercises are limited in their benefits because they violate specific neurological “rules”. Various anatomical motions and joint angles trigger muscle inhibition—for one of several neurological reasons—precisely as you are trying to optimize stimulation of that muscle. Most people are entirely unaware of these neurological triggers, so they are getting much less benefit than they could get if they knew what to avoid.

The 16 Brignolean Principles
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole explains how he identified The 16 Brignolean Principles, and why they are so unique and valuable. For the first time in the history of the fitness industry, Doug Brignole was able to create a method of exercise analysis by which the degree of productivity, safety and “efficiency” of all resistance exercises can be identified. These principles involve basic physics, an understanding of musculoskeletal design, and some basic neurology. In addition to being able to pull together these three areas of science, Doug was also able to articulate the information in simple language, using and crystal clear images and graphics. Doug explains how he was able to achieve this remarkable feat.

Doug Brignole Business Experiences
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole talks about how and why he opened his gym in 1984, at the age of 24. He explains the difference between a “boutique” gym versus “chain” (corporate) gyms. Doug was forced to close his gym after 11 years. Here he reveals why that happened, and how he felt about it. Doug also talks about his experiences in the fitness industry and about writing for the fitness publications. Doug also talks about his two year adventure in Nicaragua—working as a lumber exporter; how he returned to the fitness business when the lumber business failed; and how all of that set him on track for the writing of “The Physics of Fitness” (later renamed “The Physics of Resistance Exercise”).
