Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 2/15/17

Written on February 15, 2017 at 7:09 am, by Eric Cressey

It's been an exciting and busy week, thanks to the launch of the new Minimus 20v6 Cressey Trainer coinciding with the last week of the Major League Baseball off-season.

I'm happy to report that the shoes have sold really well - to the point that we're already sold out in several sizes. With that in mind, there are still some options for you to get them:

1. If you're looking for international shipping, Eastbay.com is your best bet. They should be making the shoe available on their site either today (Wednesday) or tomorrow.

2. If you're in the U.S. and your size is already sold out HERE at New Balance's website, Eastbay.com is also your best bet.

3. If you're in Canada and your size is already sold out HERE at New Balance's Canadian site, you can try SportChek.ca or Eastbay.com.

Now that all that is out of the way, let's get to this week's content!

Meet the First Performance Coach to Get His Own Signature Training Shoe - This article at Stack.com takes a look at the design process behind the new Minimus 20v6 Cressey Training sneaker.

As Spring Training Begins, Pitchers Enter Tommy John Danger Zone - Along with Alan Jaeger and Mike Reinold, I was interviewed for this USA Today article on the spike in injuries seen during spring training each year. 

Power Development for Powerlifters - This is an excellent post from Cressey Sports Performance coach Tony Bonvechio. I wish I'd had it back in the early 2000s to help my bar speed along, as it took me a few years to figure out that getting faster was a key to getting stronger for me.

It's a big day for the #cspfamily, as the limited edition Minimus 20v6 Cressey Trainer is now available! It took a full year to design and bring this idea to fruition, and we love the finished product - and are sure that you will, too. There are only about 500 of these in existence, so don't delay if you want to pick up a pair. They're available at NewBalance.com and Eastbay.com. Our Canadian friends can find them at NewBalance.ca and SportChek.ca. #nbtraining @nbbaseball @newbalance @officialeastbay

   Hi Eric!

   It seems like the shoes are still not available on eastbay. I was hoping to get one of my size since it’s sold out on new balance. Do you know when they will be available?

   Thank you!
