The link above has all the details for you.
And when you sign up by this Tues night at midnight PST, you get an exclusive bonus item for f.ree just by being a bad ass rapid action taker.

That is a legit $250 value that you get at no charge if you enroll by this Tues at midnight PST.

PS – My reason for offering up a f.ree 1-hour private consulting call is kick you a bit of an ethical kick in the a$$ to enroll as I believe the Phys Flex Cert will truly take your physiology and that of your clients to another level. https://miket.me/physflex
PPS -Here is what Jocelyn Awe, Director of Sports Performance had to say:
" As the Director of Sports Performance at Whitman College, my athletes love to know the ‘why’ of any mechanism/modaility. Dr. Mike's PFC course kept me ahead of the trends and has given me the ability to make direct and practical decisions for each on of my athletes.
Whether you are wondering about the keto diet all the way to the hot trend of ice baths. Dr. Mike sets you up in the best position to make practical and real-world decisions on how to manage the body.
PFC is a game changer.
PFC is practical.
PFC was an easy decision for me!” - Jocelyn Awe, Director of Sports Performance at Whitman College

To be fair, he...
Imagine eating a giant steak. Now imagine your body standing at the entrance to your muscles with a tiny clipboard: “Sorry, pal. We can only use 30 grams of protein at once. The rest goes in the dumpster.” This has been repeated gym lore for decades: Your body can only absorb 20–30 grams of protein per meal. Anything beyond that is supposedly “wasted.” ...But if that were literally true, where does the other 70 grams go? Does it evaporate? Get stuffed into a biological storage closet? Why...
I got a great question from a 45-year-old lifter. He trains full body 5–7 days per week, keeps moving between exercises, and rarely sits around. RDLs. Bench. Leg extensions. Rear delts.
