FIX IT WITH THE BACK MECHANIC

Exerpt: “My exam began the moment I climbed out of my rented Chevy Cruze and walked up the driveway-I just didn’t know it yet. Nor did I suspect that by the end ofthe day, I would learn that I’d been exercising wrong, that I had a semi-serious back injury, and that most one-size-fi ts-all fi tness recommendations are basically bullshit.

If anybody in North America could help me recapture my weight-room mojo, it was Stuart McGill, ph.D., who welcomed me into his home clinic in Gravenhurst, Ontario.
