3. Push, Pull, Legs Podcast
In case you missed it earlier this week I made a cameo appearance on the Push Pull Legs Podcast.
And now this week’s list of stuff to read…
How to Look Like You Lift – Kourtney Thomas
I really dug this article from Kourtney Thomas. One quote stood out:
“Building a muscular physique requires deliberate work.”
It ain’t just gonna happen.
The Best Way to Get Motivated for the Gym – T-Nation
I had the pleasure of being asked to contribute to this article that was featured on T-Nation earlier this week. Having a little trouble motivating yourself to get to the gym? Know someone who feels the same way? Slide this article on their desk or pin it to their door. They’ll get the message.
4 Warm-Up Mistakes You’re Probably Making – Tony Bonvechio
Don’t worry: this won’t be your typical slap on the wrist article reminding you to do your warm-ups. And it won’t cause you to toss your face into a brick wall from sheer boredom (you know, cause most articles on the topic are boring as shit).
Tony’s a legit coach. Listen to him.
