Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: Argo, Books to Check Out, Squatting 4x Per Week
1. I’m your prototypical bookworm. At any given point, I’m reading 3-4 books at once. Okay, technically I’m listening to one book in my car as I drive to the facility everyday (I have a 40-45 minute commute both ways),but I’m counting that as part of the grand total. I get a lot of various emails… Read more
Glutes Are the New Biceps
Living in a pretty historical, cultural, and overall kick-ass city (Boston), Lisa and I like to spend our weekends walking around to the various neighborhoods to take in all the sights and sounds that they have to offer.

Can’t or Won’t
Today I have another guest post from personal trainer Mike Anderson. He did such a good job with his last installment, that I invited him back for round two. This time around, he’s kinda angry (and I like it!) We’ve all heard it a million times; hell, most of us have said it that many… Read more

There’s… Read more
Every Choice Counts
Today’s post comes to you from personal trainer, Michael Anderson*. I first met Mike a little over a year ago when, after exchanging a number of emails back and forth, he reached out and invited me to train at the gym where he works which happened to be in the same neighborhood where I had… Read more
Walking Advertisements?
NOTE: I have to keep this one brief today because I’m about 20 minutes away from heading into a CPR/AED course that I’m as excited about as passing a kidney stone. Today’s more of an “opinion” piece, but something I feel is relavent to many who read this site on a daily basis. Many of… Read more
Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: CP Bootcamps, Arnold, Dumb Personal Trainers, and Pumpkin Pancakes!

This is very last minute on my end, and really only pertains to those reading who live in the Metrowest area of Boston, but starting this Wednesday (October 3rd), Cressey Performance will be hosting our own Excellence Bootcamps. As is the case with most bootcamps, these classes are geared towards those individuals who, you… Read more
