Stuff to Read While You’re Pretending to Work: 4/1/16

I’m heading back to my old stomping grounds this weekend in Upstate NY.

Tomorrow I’ll appear at my alma mater – SUNY Cortland – along with Mark Fisher, Dr. Cassandra Forsythe, Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, and Dr. John Brand for the SUNY Cortland Personal Training Conference.

[If you’re in the area – Syracuse, Rochester, Ithaca, Hoth – you should totally stop by. Day of registration is super affordable.1]

And then on Sunday I’ll head down to Elmira, NY to hang with my boy Jim “Smitty” Smith for a 1-day workshop I’ll be doing at New York Sport & Fitness.

I’ll be a busy weekend2, but a fun one.

Also, just to toss it out there, I have two other events around the corner:

SEATTLE (April 9-10th) – Complete Hip and Shoulder Workshop w/ Dean Somerset

PHILADELPHIA (April 24th) – The Athletic Shoulder: From Assessment to Badass, at War Horse Barbell Club.

Some Thoughts on Networking – John Romaniello

If there’s anyone in the fitness industry you should listen to when it comes to the topic of drunk wizard butt sex networking, it’s Roman.

This was a really cool story, will tons of great insight. And it includes Gary Vee.

Total Core Training for Lifters – Eric Bach

I always enjoy Eric’s stuff and perspective on training. He’s an athletic dude and knows his anatomy, but also a little meat-headed.

None of the drills in this article are sexy, but they do get the job done.

This Will Make You Better: Hamstring Bridge to Bent Over Row – Harold Gibbons

Introducing new exercises to people is all about building context. This was a brilliant idea from Harold on how to use a hamstring bridge to better build context for the bent-over row.

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.

  1. Plus, I’m pretty sure Cortland is dedicating a statue in the shape of a diesel centaur in my honor. You don’t want to miss it. ↩
