I didn’t have anything in particular I wanted to write about today, however I did want to mention that I’m heading out to Providence shortly for the Perform Better 3-Day Functional Training Summit.
If you’re a fitness professional and have yet to attend a Perform Better seminar, you’re doing yourself a major disservice. [...]
A friend of mine sent me a link to a new (or at least new to me) product being distributed by Kellogg’s called Kellogg’s Special K2O Protein Water.
According to Kellogg’s: “Losing up to 6 lbs in 2 weeks* Just Got Easier.” However, as mouseprint.org points out, if one were to follow the asterisk after [...]
Many commercial gyms (especially the big chains like Boston Sports Club) like to entice their members with simple “programs” such as the XpressLine.
See how they did that? Instead of using the actual word “express,” they just used the letter “X” and it still sounds the same. Only extra retarded. [...]
I was going to discuss the finer points of glycolysis today, and how in cells that lack mitochondria, such as the erythrocyte, the pathway of glycolysis is the sole provider of ATP by the mechanism of substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP. But no one is paying attention to the words I’m writing because OH MY [...]
Since last September, I have been training the “kids.” Will, Nick, and Connor (ages 9-11) are all close friends who come to Cressey Performance every Saturday morning at 10 AM. To say that it’s one of the more entertaining hours of the week is an understatement.
I know what many of [...]
Yankees vs. RedSox
Republicans vs. Democrats
Autobots vs. Decepticons
What do all of the above examples have in common? As you might have guessed, all are seemingly sworn enemies. While there’s no doubting the animosity between the first three examples; there are times where I want to add another “couple” to the mix. Strength [...]
So I have some exciting news to report today. I’m going to give you three guesses as to what it is.
1. No, Kate Beckinsale hasn’t split with her husband, Guy I Hate Because He’s Not Me.
2. No, Pete Wentz didn’t drop his restraining order against me. What’s a guy gotta [...]
Yahoo Sports ran a story a few days ago about Bonnie Richardson, a junior high school track and field athlete, who won the state 1A team championship for Rochelle High school–by herself.
Richardson was the only Rochelle athlete to qualify for the state meet and stunningly won the team title. University Interscholastic League officials said [...]
When it comes to planks, many trainees (as well as trainers) are under the assumption that the only way to “progress” is to perform them for longer periods of time.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather swallow a live grenade than perform planks for MORE time. Furthermore, if I’m working with [...]
Last week ESPN featured a story on Sara Tucholsky- a senior softball player for Western Oregon State. Long story short: Sara had never hit a home-run in her life. In a tight game versus arch rival Central Washington, Sara finally went yard. However, in her excitement, she forgot to touch first [...]
