STUFF TO CHECK OUT FIRST
1. COACHED: Raise the Bar Conference – Early Bird Rate Ends This Week.
I’m excited to announce that I will be part of the Raise the Bar Conference. An event focused on the missing links in our industry: Communication, collaboration, connection, behavioral psychology, business & marketing skills, and much more.
When: February 4th-6th, 2022
Where: BioFit Performance, Oviedo, FL (Orlando area)
And more importantly who? Who will be presenting at this event?
I gotta say: This is undoubtedly one of the most stacked line-ups I have ever seen; even more than the 1990 Oakland Athletics.
Spots will fill up fast, act quickly – HERE.
SOCIAL MEDIA SHENANIGANS
You don’t need to follow a fancy algorithm in an Excel spreadsheet to make progress in the gym.
Pick a load & a rep range (8-12). You don’t up the weight until you hit 12 reps on EVERY set. Once you do, add 5-10 lbs, start over.
For beginners, this approach will go a long way.

STUFF TO READ WHILE YOU’RE PRETENDING TO WORK

People use it as an excuse all the time as for why they’re not staying compliant with a training/nutrition program…

Bryan calls BS (but in a very understanding, empathetic way.
Jesus, he’s such a great writer.
Coordination: The Neglected Part of Fitness – Shane McLean
It’s true: How many times have you come across someone who, upon being asked what they’d really love to improve on, they came right out and said, “you know what, I could use some more coordination. That’s what I’m missing in my life. Who needs pecs?”
In all seriousness, Shane does a great job breaking down what coordination is and WHY you need more of it in your training repertoire.
How to Really Fix Tight Hip Flexors – Tim DiFrancesco
Easy: STRETCH!
hahahahaahaha.
Just kidding.
Tossing your face into a brick wall is likely a better use of your time. Tim showcases what’s really happening…
…the reason your hip flexors feel tight is because they’re short AND weak. Stretching them only feeds the issue. Do these drills instead.
