Bill Busch's Iso-Body Fitness

Who are you chasing? The kid you used to be or the version of you 10 years from now?

It’s fun to look back at the things you accomplished, the heavy weights you used to lift, the trophies you won or almost won. But the version of you that you see in the mirror is the only you have. And 61 years of experience tells me that you are not going back you are only going forward.

All we have is today! Make it count!

Today we are going to talk about a muscle that is the deepest of the of the abdominal muscles.

So on top of everything you have your External Obliques then Internal Obliques then just under that you have those “6 pack muscles” , the re**us abdominis and then underneath all of those sits the Transverse abdominis or TVA as we like to call it.

The TVA originates in the Thoraco Lumbar fascia, the lower 6 ribs, the anterior of your hip called the Iliac crest and the inguinal ligament… then it inserts into the linea alba below the belly button and into the p***c bone and above into what’s called your xiphoid process.

Using Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques we test the lower and the upper and with Isobody fitness I can help you train these muscles a number of different ways.

Thanks for sharing a minute with me!

Little did I know that after covid I would find a home to do what I do… Personal Fitness Training featuring Greg Roskopf's Muscle Activation Techniques. Really it’s a celebration of 21 years as a MAT Specialist… and 40 as a fitness coach.

I feel as though I’m just getting started. 😉

I look at the coming weeks and see I am busier now than I have ever been and I am grateful for all of my clients who believe in the process and keep coming back… some of them for over 20 years!

When I got started 40 years ago in a little gym that only had nautilus equipment I had not dreamed of what the practice of personal fitness training would look like.

Today it is defined by the following: Assess for weakness, activate, retest, then apply force in a safe and progressive way to make sure you are gaining strength and meeting your goals.

With Muscle Activation Techniques as the foundation my Iso-Body Fitness process has given my clients the feedback they need to reach goals they never thought they could achieve.

“They” said I should start posting more. So here it is September 1st… let’s see how this goes… I have a pretty full schedule of clients without doing all this but maybe just maybe I tweak someone’s interest in .

So what are you looking for? Tips on fitness from a guy that’s been helping people for 40 years? OK… here goes:

Tip Number 1: Start small… you don’t have to go all out the first day… try some isometrics on the floor and see how the body feels.

"Isn’t MAT just a fancy name for massage or physical therapy?" ❌🙅‍♂️

The Myth: Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is just another deep-tissue massage or standard PT routine.

The Reality: MAT looks at your body through a completely unique, data-driven lens by focusing directly on your neuromuscular connection (how your brain talks to your muscles).

Think about it this way:
💆‍♂️ Massage therapy focuses on rubbing and relaxing tight soft tissue.
🏋️‍♂️ Traditional PT often focuses on strengthening muscles that are already working.
🧠 MAT goes upstream. Instead of trying to force a tight muscle to relax, our specialists look for the weak, non-firing muscles that are causing that tightness in the first place.

When a joint loses stability because a muscle goes "offline," your brain commands the surrounding muscles to tighten up like a parking brake to protect you. Massage rubs the brake; MAT turns the engine back on.

Once those non-firing muscles are reactivated, the protective tightness naturally melts away, instantly improving your flexibility, stability, and power output on the golf course. 🏌️‍♂️📈

Stop treating the symptoms. It's time to fix the root cause.

MAT® is not a single method or corrective strategy. It is a structured, test-based system that guides decision-making—allowing practitioners to assess, address, and retest muscle function so progress is measurable and repeatable.

MAT is what allows me to use precise exercise prescription for my clients!

Muscle Activation Techniques has been a game changer for not only my clients but for my career as a fitness professional. I can always answer the question… is this person tolerating the stress they are putting on their muscular nervous system!
