BUT FIRST…CHECK THIS STUFF OUT
1. (Even More) Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint – 2019 Dates
This workshop will piggyback on the material Dean Somerset and I covered in the original Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint.
With this iteration, though, we’ll be going a bit deeper into the coaching and programming side of things:
- How to program around common injuries.
- How to “connect” the appropriate exercises to the client/athlete.
- How to squat and deadlift like a boss.
We’re in LA this weekend teaching the course, which is our last “h0orah” in 2018. We have plenty of dates lined up for 2019, however.
Check em out HERE.
2. Small Cameo in The Boston Globe
I tweeted this Tweet recently:
Saw the first Christmas commercial this morning.
It’s Nov. 1st.
On the bright side, as an unabashed Christmas music fan, I’m all for @SIRIUSXM rolling out the Holiday channels this early.

Fast forward a few hours later and I’m talking to a reporter from the Boston Globe about when is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
Never. NEVER I say!

SOCIAL MEDIA SHENANIGANS
Words to use less of during assessment or training session: “dysfunctional, broken, bad.”
Words to use more of: “fuck that shit, let’s go train, focus on what we CAN do, and build some success.”
Also: “Wu-Tang’s for the children.”

STUFF TO READ WHILE YOU’RE PRETENDING TO WORK
When Is It Okay to Lift With Less Than Perfect Form? – Fayiz Dabdoub (via DeanSomerset.com)
Internet commenters. Gotta love them.
And by “love” I mean the opposite of that.
I’d rather spend a year in Azkaban than deal with some of them myself.
But this was a great read.
How Much Should a Personal Trainer Keep Personal? – Hayden Perno
Movies, relationships, politics, religion, favorite He-Man characters?
What’s “safe” to reveal to clients, and what’s taboo?
Inside the Retreat Where Grown Men Go to Cry – Nate Green
This was a lovely read.
Not gonna lie: it got me.1

Dude, that article by Nate Green....its truth. The world needs less BS and more real talk (especially with men) Im going to throw this out there and if you don't like it you can just throw it back....Christmas Trap Music. Hit play on that before your clients get started one day and I promise heads will bob :)November 20, 2018 at 5:52 am |
