Stuff to Read While You’re Pretending to Work: 3/25/11

Share This:

T-minus FOUR days, 17 hours, 32 minutes, and 23 seconds and I’m outta here on a much needed vacation (but who’s counting).  My girlfriend and I are heading down to her homestate of Florida next week, where I plan on doing nothing but being horizontal (get your mind out of the gutter) and soaking up vasts amounts of vitamin D.

We’re going to be in Jensen Beach as a matter of fact; which, coincidentally, is the pineapple capital of the world!

It’s going to be glorious.  I’m contemplating possibly taking the entire week off from training – I honestly can’t remember the last time I did that, but seems how Lisa’s mom got us a week’s pass to the local gym, that’s highly unlikely.  I say I’m going to take time off, but then after like two days, I go through withdrawls and have to lift something heavy off the floor.  It’s like a tick.

Anyways, Ihave the ladies showing up for the women’s group in like fifteen minutes, so I’m just going to leave you this week with a few things to keep you from doing your work:

Success Tips from Cressey Perfomance – Jason Bonn

Jason is one of the team members of Precision Nutrition, and is also currently interning at CP.  Here, Jason sheds some light on his experience at CP and does an excellent job at helping people realize that it sometimes makes more sense to focus on the “common threads” in life.

What Women Should Never do (but often do) While Trying to Get In Shape – Juliet Deane

This was/is a fantasic article that pretty much lays the smack-down on every myth, fallacy, and idiocracy that saturates the fitness industry with regards to training women.  Huge props goes out to Juliet for writing such a thorough and well written article – and, this is only PART 1

13 Tips for Anyone Who Wants to Improve Performance and Look Better Naked Part I – Training – Molly Galbraith

And, not to be outdone, Molly (who rocks a 341 lb deadlift, with movie star good looks to boot) provides all sorts of sound, practical advice that can (and should) be followed by anyone – whether you have a boy part or girl part.

That’s it for this week!  Have a great weekend everyone.

Did what you just read make your day? Ruin it? Either way, you should share it with your friends and/or comment below.

FRESH CONTENT DELIVERED WEEKLY

Plus, get a copy of Tony’s Pick Things Up, a quick-tip guide to everything deadlift-related. See his butt? Yeah. It’s good. You should probably listen to him if you have any hope of getting a butt that good.

I don’t share email information. Ever. Because I’m not a jerk.

    Tony, I grew up in Sudbury and played baseball at LS (class of 2001). I now own Coastal Performance in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. If the gym up in Jensen is not sufficiently masculine enough for you, we'd be honored to have you come pick up our heavy things, we have lots of them. We're really close to the Cardinals and Marlins spring training facility.

    Tony, Had my shoulder fixed at CP by Eric in 12/09. Live in Miami, raced/coached racing sailboats for a decade. Besides sun and 70 degree temperatures, only thing I know of in Jensen Beach is the US Sailing Center (Martin County). If you get a wild hair up your ass to do something besides tan/lift/girlfriend/if you get bored go check out the USSCMC, learn to sail/windsurf, might be fun. Best, Fred P.S. olympic windsurfing is one of the nastiest/pull heavy conditioning activities one can do while on the water (not suffering all the rest of the proprioceptive problems of swimmers).

    Tony I really enjoyed reading Jay's article. Having had the experience of training with him, he was both knowledgable and attentive and I very much appreciated both his time and feedback. Please let him know he is doing a great job! Kris

    Tony, I sure as hell hate you didn't say you were coming to Orlando, for I would have tracked you down and took you and your girlfriend to dinner--kicking and screaming, of course :) Have fun. JB is a beautiful area. RS
