Here's this week's list of recommended strength and conditioning reading:

I Throw, Therefore I Am – Thisewas a great Boston Globe article on the evolution of throwing – and there was a similar piece written in the New York Times, as they both reported on the same study results.

Massage Tools: Gua Sha and The Like – This is an outstanding blog from Patrick Ward on the effects of various instrument-assisted soft tissue treatment approaches.

   Hey Eric,

   I got this in my email today from Nick Tumminello.

   http://nicktumminello.com/2013/07/breathing-exercise-b-s-foam-rolling-your-shoulders-5-mma-exercises/

   Nick basically calls corrective breathing a fad which has no scientific base.

   Seeing as how many of the smartest therapists and strength coaches including yourself have been emphasizing the importance of the integration of breathing and core stability, I would love to hear your thoughts.

   Thanks!
