My brain doesn’t work like most of my colleagues. . @meghancallaway @dr.joelseedman_ahp @benbrunotraining @matthewibrahim_ @dsomerset1 @coachleeboyce Etc… . Are all examples of coaches who always seem to come up with innovative exercises and ideas. . Me? . (Crickets chirping). . However, check out this snazzy band set up I used for my close grip bench presses yesterday? . Granted, I do have the option of looping bands around pegs at the bottom of the rack, but: . 1. I was too lazy to do that yesterday. 2. Many people don’t have that luxury, so I figured I’d showcase how to do it another way. . Simply loop the bands around a pair of safety arms OR pins. . Here I’m using a pair of 1/4” mini bands, and the setup worked splendidly.

3. The Principles of Nutrition Coaching

If you’re a fitness professional you know full-well one of the best things you can do for your athletes and clients is to help them hone in on their nutrition. THAT’s often the key to helping them look and feel better.

Exercise alone won’t get the job done.

But what kind of nutrition advice can you actually give?

(Is it even LEGAL to give nutrition advice?)

And if you CAN give nutrition advice, how should you give it?

Find out in this FREE Nutrition Coaching Course put together by renowned coach, researcher, and pioneer in the field of exercise nutrition — Dr. John Berardi.

4. Examine.com Turned 6-Years Old

And to celebrate they’re giving everyone a free sponge bath! Kidding.

However, they have reduced the price on everything on their site by 40% until midnight (3/17). I don’t feel there’s a huge need to be pitchy here. They’re the largest database (50,000+ references), they’re 100% independent, they’re trusted (2 million+ visitors/day), and they’re simply the best.

No ads, no consulting, no coaching – just an education company 🙂

The 12 Best Ways to Build Shoulders – T-Nation

T-Nation asked a bunch of coaches how to put boulders on someone’s shoulders and I happened to be one of the coaches they asked.

Some great content and ideas in this one.

Conscious Coaching – Brett Bartholomew

We’re always quick to gravitate to the latest and greatest trends in the weight room without taking into consideration something more relevant: how to motivate our clients & athletes and meet them where they are…both psychologically and emotionally.

It’s not always about sets, reps, and PR’s.

Cool Factoid: Tom Hanks (yes, Forrest Gump) is going to be narrating the audio version of this book. Awesome.

A Comprehensive Guide to Preseason Baseball Training – Andy Haley (STACK.com)

You can’t squeeze an entire offseason of training into two weeks before the season starts. Don’t be that guy.
