Happy Holidays!

Cressey Performance is in the midst of a massive renovation, and last night was demolition night. Myself, Eric, as well as a few CP interns/clients who were present grabbed the sledgehammer and took a few whacks at the walls. I took video of it, but for some reason my digital camera is being a jerk… Read more

Demolition Day

Well I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Kwanzakahmas; or, Merry Chrishanuza (depending on your degree of political correctness) this past weekend. I, for one, had an awesome Holiday spending time with my girlfriend – eating copious amounts of food that I should’t have been eating, spending time with friends, exchanging and opening presents,… Read more

Some CP Badassery

Badassery -verbish? Engaging in seemingly impossible activities and achieving success in a manner that renders all onlookers completely awestruck. Or, in some cases – partaking in an activity so completely bad ass, that it defies the laws of nature. Example #1: Tony: Wanna know something? Alicia Keys: Of course! Tony: I broke a deadlift PR… Read more

Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: Tron Legacy, New or Used, and a Little Anatomy.

1. Not like this is going to be a surprise to anyone, but I saw Tron Legacy at the IMAX 3D theater yesterday: What will come as a surprise is that I wasn’t that impressed.

Q: Tony, I have a friend who is having shoulder issues, namely along the lines of AC joint problems. Besides just rest and surgery, what can she do, if anything, to help, and what exercises should she absolutely avoid? A: To keep this as succinct as possible, with regards to your friend’s AC (Acromioclavicular, for… Read more

Don’t Have Time to Train?

I know I’ve been slacking on the content as of late, but it’s for good reason – I swear! For starters, Cressey Performance is continually growing; and, as of last week, not only did we break our record for most sessions done in a day (twice!), but we broke our weekly record as well. Needless… Read more

Exercises You Should Be Doing: Standing Cable Anti-Rotation Chop

A bit off-topic to start, but I just wanted to give my two cents on 127 Hours; otherwise known as “that movie where that dude cuts off his right arm.” A lot has been said about how graphic this movie is. So graphic, in fact, that there have been several reports of people passing out… Read more
