Stuff to Read While You’re Pretending to Work: Women CAN Do Pull-Ups, Make a Difference, and Programming Order
Okay before we get to this week’s list of stuff you should be reading, I have a few minor house cleaning tasks to take care of. First: for those who missed it, yesterday I challenged everyone and their mom to a deadlifting battle, and so far the turn out has been awesome. My goal was… Read more
Exercises You Should Be Doing: Goblet Bulgarian Split Squat
Note: Goddammit!!!!!!!! My bad everyone. I know filming “vertical” videos is a big no-no on the interwebz and is about as convenient as watching a whale give birth, but you’ll have to forgive me as it’s a video that I filmed last night and it’s the only one I took. At some point I’ll eventually… Read more
Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: 8/6/12
1. I firmly believe that one of the best ways to bring up any lift is repeated exposures to that lift. One major mistake I see a lot of trainees make – particularly intermediate and advanced lifters (beginners can do ANYTHING and get stronger, and we all hate you for it) – is assuming that… Read more

Admittedly, all of the above components are important things to consider,… Read more
Stuff to Look At, I mean Read, While You’re Pretending to Work
I don’t know if anyone reading happened to watch the ESPY’s last night, but if you didn’t, you missed an absolute show that Serena Williams put on with her outfit. Seriously, that is one impressive specimen of badonkadonkness. I mean, I’m surprised that neither J-Lo… Read more
Are You As Advanced As You Think?
With both EC and Pete away on (a much deserved) vacation this week, to say I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off would be an understatement. Between checking e-mails, scheduling clients, taking phone calls, tracking sessions, and babysitting the high-school… Read more
Carry, Carry, and More Carries
One of my favorite authors, Robert Ludlum (author of the Bourne Identity trilogy, most notably), always had an uncanny ability to paint a scene, in almost vivid detail. Known for his meticulous research, Ludlum would take his protagonist (and the reader) across the globe, describing… Read more
