BUT FIRST…CHECK THIS STUFF OUT

1. (Even More) Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint – 2019 Locations & Dates

Philadelphia, PA: April 27-28th (<– EARLY BIRD rate ends THIS WEEKEND).

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: May 25-26th

Sydney, Australia: July 13-14th

Melbourne, Australia: July 20-21st (<— JUST ADDED. Includes bonus “Psyche 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. Strategic Strength Workshop – Boston, MA

Luke and I did this workshop last summer in London and figured it’s only fair to bring it State side.

Combined we have 30+ years of coaching experience (I.e., one Mike Boyle or Dan John) and this workshop will be two days where we uncover every nook and cranny as it relates to how we assess our clients/athletes and how we best prepare them for the rigors of every day life/sport.

This will be a unique opportunity for people to learn from myself, but especially Luke, who, along with traveling over from the UK, is one of the best and brightest coaches I know.

What’s the Real Story Behind the Egg Study?  – Abby Langer

Maybe I liked this article because I eat roughly 20-30 eggs per week and it validates what I’ve suspected  all along…..

….people need to chill the fuck out when it comes to eggs.

What Strength Coaches Should Know About Physical Education – Jeremy Frisch

Not to be confused with Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD), physical education is often lobbed into the same category as strength & conditioning.

It’s not.

“The purpose of scholastic PE is to help transform a child  into an adult,  not provide a starting point to becoming an athlete.”

Also, slow clap to Jeremy for highlighting the importance of DODGEBALL in the PE curriculum!

6 Exercises Trainers Hate That Aren’t Bad – Nick Tumminello

One of the highest compliments I can receive as a coach is when other coaches hire me to be their coach. . Coaches need coaches too. . Here’s my client @jessmschour from last night. . We’ve been troubleshooting some hip shenanigans and trying to come up with ways to “feel” her glutes more during certain exercises, like deadlifts. . She’s pretty freakin strong: her best pull is 350 lbs with a straight bar. Alas, I wanted to try something a bit different last night. . This is an exercise I stole from @mcconnell_athletics and it worked beautifully. . I wrapped a jump stretch band around two pegs in the power rack and then placed the band through the handle of a KB. . Hello Glute O’clock.

A Return to Play: Movement Training For Youth Athlete – Jeremy Frisch

This should be required reading for parents and coaches a like.

Jeremy is one of the “go to” coaches I follow with regards to youth training. The content he puts out is legit.

Just watch the videos he posts and tell me they’re not amazing.

I hate him because I’m not him.

Protein: What, When, Why, and How? – Dr. Susan Kleiner

There aren’t many people out there as respected as Dr. Kleiner. Her book, Power Eating, was one of the very first books I ever bought after graduating college (and started taking my own personal continuing education more seriously).

This article keeps things simple, and keeps to the facts.

Want to Get Real Results For Your Training? Pay For Them – Julia Eyre

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a minimum of 47 times more:

“Everyone needs a coach. Even coaches.”

Fantastic article by Julia here explaining more of the nuances and benefits of coaching.
