In addition, Barwis has been published in numerous journals, magazines, newspapers, written books, and produced several videos. Barwis earned his undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology from the School of Medicine at West Virginia University and his Master's Degree in Athletic Coaching with physiology at Temple University. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist by the NSCA, a Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach Emeritus, BMI as a BARWIS Master Instructor, CPR and AED certified.

Mike has been recognized in this field as one of the most influential strength coaches of all time. Additionally, Mike is the star of the Discovery Channel's hit TV show "American Muscle" which features his work with professional athletes and people with disabilities. Mike has also been featured in many TV, news, radio and internet shows, and is widely recognized as a leading authority on the biomechanics and neuromuscular systems. As a result, Mike has become one of the worlds most desired experts in helping elite athletes prevent and recover from sports-related injuries and surgeries.

As a consultant, Mike helps teams and organizations assess their athletes biomechanics, work with their medical and strength staff to enhance scientific training protocols, and helps design/redesign facility layouts. He also helps eliminate athletic imbalances and assesses soft tissue and neurological issues with athletes. Often, Mike works directly with team owners and General Managers, advising on beneficial high-level organizational adjustments.

Program Components

Injury Prevention

This program focuses on the strengthening and stabilization of the neck, knee, ankle and shoulder. A stable and effectively functioning joint allows for optimum power output, which increases performance while decreasing the risk of common injuries.

Speed Training

This program provides a proper speed training progression that consists of running mechanics and technique drills. The cycles will encompass resistive running drills, free running for acceleration and top-end speed, and over-speed drills that will focus on neural impulse speed and physiological adaptation.

Weight Training

Using a completely scientific approach to weight training progression, a cycle will be designed to meet your needs. For example, a Hypertrophy phase will increase cross sectional area of the muscle. A Maximum Strength phase will increase recruitment and strength of the muscle. The Power Transfer phase will help those who wish to increase the pure speed of their actions and the Competition phase will increase your strength, power, size and speed through the season.

Program Components

Cardiovascular Training

Looking to improve your endurance game or just trying to lose some excess weight? We will tailor a cardiovascular program to meet your needs. Designed using bioenergetics, your program will enable efficient use of the phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative systems to elicit ideal physiological adaption.

Agility Training

Are you trying to develop your on-ice quickness? This cycle specifically focuses on the central nervous system to enhance change of direction, acceleration, and deceleration, while providing you with the proper progression of drills based on your sport, position and level of training.

Core Strength

A strong core is an extremely important characteristic of any athlete. It is the center for most body movements, allowing effective transfer of power from upper and lower extremities and is necessary for increasing your speed, agility, overall strength explosiveness, and coordination.

Balance and Functional Training

Improve your kinesthetic awareness (knowledge of body position in three-dimensional space). This program utilizes all of the body's proprioceptors to enhance performance on the ice or during activities of daily living. The cycle includes a vast array of exercises to accommodate for all levels of training and remove any form of program stagnation.

Plyometric, Explosive Impulse Training

If you want to increase your power and explosiveness, this cycle is for you! These exercises teach the body to utilize the elastic principles of the muscles and increase neural impulse speed through trained activation; this occurs all while reducing the risk of soft-tissue injury. Includes training for the upper and lower body.

INDIVIDUALIZED CYCLES ADAPTED DAILY

Our training cycles transcend all aspects of physiological development. Our customized training includes the following components: speed & agility, weight training, cardiovascular training, core strength, balance and functional training, functional flexibility, plyometric and explosive impulse training and injury prevention. All these dimensions of training are adapted and phased regularly for the individual athletes needs and the demands of his/her specific sport and role. Through the development of these areas and tailored adaptive training cycles for the individual based on age, sport, position, goals, and more, we are able to improve power, force, acceleration, deceleration, mobility, top speed, explosiveness, reaction, conditioning, balance, core stability, speed & agility, confidence, mental toughness, good nutrition habits, kinesthetic awareness and proprioception.

NEUROPRIMING

HALO Sport, the first product from HALO Neuroscience, applies the science of neurostimulation to athletic training. Designed to integrate seamlessly into a workout, HALO Sport stimulates the brain's motor cortex during training to accelerate improvements in strength, skill acquisition and explosiveness. This scientific process is called Neuropriming. In essence, pairing HALO Sport with training makes practice more productive for athletes.

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION

Pneumatic belts are placed on the upper arms or upper legs at a controlled pressure that is safe for the user. The moderation of blood flow leads to an engorgement of blood in the arms or legs and allow the user exercise more efficiently and effectively. Restricting blood flow also leads to lactic acid being retained longer in the areas being restricted. This causes signals to be sent to the brain which in turn sends signals to release large amounts of human growth hormone(HGH) which is very potent and powerful tool for recovery.

BLOOD FLOW ENHANCEMENT

During RENEW ECP Therapy, a technician wraps inflatable cuffs (similar to blood pressure cuffs) around your calves, thighs and hips. The cuffs are timed to inflate and deflate between heartbeats. The external counter-pulsation process delivers more oxygenated blood to the extremities, enhancing blood flow and reducing angina and related symptoms. The process is soothing and relaxing for patients, much like a leg massage.
