This course teaches the biomechanics of resistance exercise, which allows you to optimize your workout efforts, and the workout efforts of your clients.

This course can be completed in 20 to 40 hours, depending on your time availability and level of commitment to learning the material.

This course is for anyone who is interested in getting the most benefit from resistance training.
Trainers, chiropractors, coaches, athletes, bodybuilders, competitive athletes from all sports, fitness scholars, men, women, seniors and young people, can all benefit from using this biomechanics knowledge in their resistance exercise.

This course is for anyone who uses resistance exercise, including trainers. Anyone who uses resistance (i.e., weights, cables, elastic bands, bodyweight, etc.) in their exercise program, will benefit from this knowledge.
 
Our bodies are all the same design, from a musculoskeletal standpoint. We all have the same skeletal structure, the same muscular attachments and the same muscular function. Therefore, the same rules about which resistance exercises are more efficient and more safe, apply to everyone.

If you want to get the most benefit, with the least wasted effort and the least risk of injury, from performing resistance exercise, you SHOULD avoid unproductive and inefficient exercises. Therefore, you should either have the guidance of someone who KNOWS biomechanics, or you should learn it yourself.
 
Do not be fooled by “trainers” who appear to have a well developed muscular physique. Do not assume they understand biomechanics. The question is not, “How do I develop a muscular physique?”.  The question is, “How do I develop a muscular physique without wasting time and effort, and risking injury?”. You can drive on a bumpy and muddy road, and arrive at your destination, or you can drive on a smooth, clear road and arrive there also. The difference is how much effort and how much “wear and tear” (injury) it will take to arrive.
 
Doug provides simplified explanations to complex human mechanics, which allows non-academics to understand biomechanical principles and how to apply them in your workouts. The Brignole method is a shortcut to success—the best results, as quickly and easily as possible, without injury.

There are numerous ways to learn the lessons presented in this Online Course. The concepts are presented by way of text (the PDF course manual), by way of illustrations and photos, and by way of videos (The BRIG-20), the webinar.. The Facebook Q&A, etc. You can read the information and you can see it in the videos.

You will be provided with lots of help in learning the material, so it is not likely that you will fail, or that you will find it “difficult”. 
In the Webinar, Doug Brignole reviews the entire “The Physics of Fitness” manual. The BRIG-20 videos are an additional option which gives you clear demonstrations. These videos enhance your understanding of how the principles—explained in the manual and in the webinar—are applied.
