1. I work about 315 days per year at Cressey Performance, so when I can get a weekday off, it’s pretty darn special - and that’s the case today.  I got in a great squatting session last night, so I don’t feel quite so bad about staying home today to sit on my duff and [...]

In place of our normal “Random Friday Thoughts” blog, I just wanted to use today as an announcement of something I think is really cool, convenient, and forward-thinking.
Anthony Renna has done a great job with the Strength Coach Podcasts, and now he’s taken it a step further with the introduction of the Strength and Conditioning [...]

This is a random post, but it came about in light of our recent switch to a new hosting company, plus the reorganization of the site.  In this drawn-out, mind-numbing, baldness-inducing process, I came to realize that a lot of my better writing has slipped into an internet black hole - or at the very [...]

Shoulder Impingement….Yes, We Get It.
Roughly 10-15 times per week, I get emails from folks who claim that they have “shoulder impingement.” Honestly, I roll my eyes the second I read these emails.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not making light of their pain. It’s just that it drives me crazy when doctors throw this blanket statement [...]

1. There is still no internet at our apartment. Sadly, I’m really not joking. Thanks to everyone for the replies to yesterday’s blog; I wouldn’t wish my Comcast experience on anyone, but to a degree, it helps to know that they screw everyone over and aren’t just singling me out.
2. Stretch sternocleidomastoid like this; it’s [...]

Hey Gang,
No transitional material this week; I’m a little scatterbrained.
1. Jeremy Frisch and company are running a great event for charity in Acton, MA on June 21. For more information, head HERE. Even if you can’t make it, these charities could really use a donation.
2. Maximum Strength isn’t just for men!
“Maximum Strength is [...]

Q: I noticed you mentioned breathing patterns as a potential issue that a good PT should address. Tony briefly explained how this relates to overall shoulder function in his Limiting Factors article if I remember correctly, and it seems to be a subject that’s been popping up quite a bit recently.
Would it be possible [...]

Q: Eric – some thoughts on the overhead pressing and a question. Obviously, if the motion was symptomatic, you wouldn’t do it. However, if after soft tissue work and then thoracic mobilization and activation work on the scapular muscles, the athlete could do the ROM without the symptoms, would that be a [...]
