Stuff to Read While You’re Pretending to Work: 6/21/19

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.

Find out more details HERE.

2. Strong Body-Strong Mind Workshop – Chicago, IL (w/ Dr. Lisa Lewis)

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!

3. Talkin Entrepreneurial Shenanigans w/ Adam Rees

Adam Rees of GRIT Gym invited me onto his new “chat” and we covered things like my new gym venture, the industry in general, and, I don’t know, the fact I wasn’t wearing pants during this interview?

Kidding.

I totally was.¹

SOCIAL MEDIA SHENANIGANS

Twitter

I used to think it was cool (and I was doing the industry a favor) being an uppity coach who said stuff like “walking is life, stop saying it’s exercise.”

That was dumb.

It IS exercise, and undervalued.

Not all exercise has to be a ball-buster.

Walking = recovery. Do more.

Here’s a beauty of a drill I’ve been using of late with a handful of clients, including my wife (@drlewisconsulting ) who’s in this video. . I got this from @cliebenson and it works wonders with promoting hip stability, single leg balance, core stability, foot/ankle shenanigans, in addition to nudging people into tapping into their inner athlete. . Lisa’s using a Keiser machine in this video, but I’ve also had clients use s band too. . Works fine. . Aim for chest up and a SLOW return. I like to say 10% of your weight should be in the back leg. . 5-8 reps/side. . Juicy

Staggered stance, B-stance, leaning this way, leaning that way, elevated. upside down, invisible…

ALSO: I don’t know if he did this on purpose, but bonus points for the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” 42 reference.

Nerds for life!

Keto zealots loved this article about as much as vampires like garlic.

I thought this was a well written, well thought out piece.

Kudos to Eric for writing it.
