BUT FIRST…CHECK THIS STUFF OUT
1. (Even More) Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint Workshop – 2019 Locations & Dates
Sydney, Australia: July 13-14th at Clean Shred.
Melbourne, Australia: July 19-21st and Melbourne Strength & Conditioning. (<— Includes bonus “Psych Skills for Fitness Pros” pre-workshop with Dr. Lisa Lewis).
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 really add value with your assessment process.
- How to squat and deadlift like a boss.

2. Strategic Strength Workshop – Boston, MA
Luke (Worthington) and I did this workshop last summer in London and figured it’s only fair to bring it State side.
Combined we have 30+ years of coaching experience (I.e., one Mike Boyle or Dan John) and this workshop will be two days where we uncover every nook and cranny as it relates to how we assess our clients/athletes and how we best prepare them for the rigors of every day life/sport.
- Upper/Lower Extremity Assessment
- Technique Audits (how to coach common strength training exercises)
- Ways to integrate PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) strategies that don’t make your brain hurt.
This will be a unique opportunity for people to learn from myself, but especially Luke, who is one of the best and brightest coaches I know. This will be his first time teaching in the States.

3. Strong Body-Strong Mind Workshop – Chicago, IL
This will be the only time Dr. Lisa Lewis and I will be presenting this workshop together in 2019. In previous years we’ve presented it in Boston, London, Toronto, Bonn (Germany), and Austin, TX.
This 1-day workshop is targeted towards fitness professionals and digs a little deeper into what really “bogs” them down and stresses them out….
…their clients!

I just left therapy.
I’ve been seeing the same therapist since 2011. At first we met 1x per week, for about a year. Now we meet 1x every 4-6 weeks; to check in.
It’s been an invaluable asset in my life. Just wanted to toss that tidbit out there. Your mental health IS important

STUFF TO READ WHILE YOU’RE PRETENDING TO WORK
Using Prileprin’s Chart Post Rehab – Eric Bowman
^^ That’s Prilepin’s Chart
We don’t need to make programming harder than it has to be. We’re not curing cancer; it isn’t rocket science. Hell, it’s not even long division.
Prileprin’s Chart is a tidy starting point for most programs. And the work (and most of the guessing) has already been done for you.
Use it.
Train Your Posterior Chain for Better, Safer Gains – Sivan Fagan
Did you know you have muscles on the backside of your body you can’t see in the mirror?
No, really…you do!
It’s an often neglected area, but an argument can be made that training those muscles is the key to a stronger, faster, more resilient body.
This is the program that will help get you started.
Speed Training For Hockey – Kevin Neeld & Travis Pollen
Fun Tony Fact: I can count on one hand the total number of times I’ve ever attempted to skate on ice. I say “attempted” because I believe the longest I’ve ever stayed upright before crashing to the ground (and taking someone with me) is nine seconds.
That said, despite my lack of skating skills I know a great program when I see it. Kevin and Travis have produced an outstanding resource here, and if you work with hockey players this is an absolute NO-BRAINER.
Speed Training for Hockey is currently on sale at a very fair price, but it only last for one more week.
Check it out HERE.
