So excited to head down to DC tomorrow to visit some old friends. Lisa and I should be able to actually board the plane this time with Julian.1
I’ve got a lot of entrepreneurial shenanigans to take care, not to mention packing, before we leave…so lets get right to this week’s list of stuff to read.

CHECK THIS STUFF OUT FIRST (IT’S MOSTLY ABOUT ME)
1. Strong Body-Strong Mind – Boston
I’m really excited to announce the Strong Body-Strong Mind Workshop, coming to Boston (finally!) later this summer.
The idea is simple: there’s a corner in the industry that’s underserved….mental skills.
There are a lot of people out there who write about “mindset” and describe themselves as mindset coaches (whatever the heck that means) who, by and large, have zero academic background in that department.
Lisa, SPOILER ALERT: she’s my wife, went to school for that shit.
I went to school to help turn people into badasses.
So, why not combine the two?
Lisa can speak to building competency and discussing how to build the skills to develop rapport with clients. I can speak to getting people bigger, stronger, and faster.
Strong Body-Strong Mind = see you there? Here’s the itinerary2
2) Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint – Orlando
Our Vancouver shindig in April sold out, but Dean and I have recently announced a stop in Orlando, FL later this year, October 21-22nd at Spark Fitness.
I’ve never been to Orlando. There’s no way in hell I’m visiting Disney World.
You can go HERE for more details and to sign up.
3. Stuff I Was Sent, Thought Was Cool, and Thought You’d Want to Check It Out
One of the best things about this site, outside of my uncanny wit and LOLcat memes, is the fact I get offers for people to send me free shit. Many offers I respectively decline as I feel it wouldn’t be a good fit for my audience.
NOTE TO AUDI: Sending me a free car would TOTALLY be a good fit. Just sayin.
But every now and then I get sent stuff that’s pretty dope. Like….
**FYI: I receive zero kickback from recommending the following products.
Jabra Elite Sport Headphones
- They’re wireless – like, for real. ZERO wires
- They sound amazing, and more importantly stay in your ears.
- And they do fancy shit, like track your heart-rate via the integrated fitness app, in addition to providing audio coaching during your workouts (if you so choose).4
I tried them out during a recent squat workout and they worked superbly. Likewise, my wife, Lisa, who’s a headphone snob looooooooves them. They’re basically hers now.
Olivers All-Over Shorts
If you’re looking for a pair of shorts that you can wear during a brutal deadlift session or CrossFit class and/or showoff at the next Catalina Wine Mixer…these are it.
Equal parts athletic and classy.
Stuff To Read
Will Aspartame Kill You? No, Dumbass – Physiqonomics
Science, humor, AND a cornucopia of f-bombs? Best…..article…..ever.
The Squat and Athletic Development – How We’ve All Been F*cking It Up – JL Holdsworth
This article ruffled some feathers, but I encourage everyone to read it, and take from it what you will.
It’s just information. Really, really good information…….but information nonetheless.
Stuff I Love: Landmines – 9 Legit Reasons They’re no Gimmick – Dave Thomas
One of the best articles on the landmine I have read in a while. Very informative and entertaining with tons of great ideas.
Social Media Shenanigans
People who avoid training legs because they run should probably avoid training upper body too, b/c, well, it makes no sense. TRAIN LEGS.
