Here’s this week’s list of recommended strength and conditioning reading/viewing:

2014 University of Texas Commencement Address – I thought this speech by Naval Admiral William McRaven was absolutely awesome. Don’t be surprised if it’s the best 20 minutes of your day.

Bulletproof Athlete – Mike Robertson’s popular program is on sale this week at a great $50 discount. As I wrote here, I think this is an outstanding resource, particularly for beginners who need some excellent direction to kick off their training careers on the right foot.

Calories: Should You Be Counting? – This was an excellent piece from Dani Shugart at T-Nation on a controversial topic where the appropriate answer is a bit different for everyone.
