2 days of hands-on exercise muscle testing with Dr. Ken Kinakin, for the next generation of elite health & fitness professionals
A client's bench press stalls. Now what?
Most of us rewrite the program and blame sleep.
Exercise Muscle Testing gives you a specific test for each of the 27 most common upper and lower body lifts. You check whether the muscle can handle the load, and if it can't, you have a rehab exercise ready to fix it in the same session.
It is built for personal trainers, strength coaches, therapists and doctors who want to walk into Monday with something new to do.
What Is Exercise Muscle Testing?
Exercise Muscle Testing was designed to teach you specific muscle tests for each weight training exercise, to determine whether the muscles are functional and capable of handling the stress of that exercise.
Daily practice with the muscle tests you learn will take your assessment and training techniques to the next level and help you become a more advanced trainer, doctor or therapist.
