I hope you all had a good weekend. My wife and I spent a few days in Washington, DC as tourists and baseball fans, and then I gave a shoulder seminar in Virginia before we headed home on a very delayed flight last night.

Let’s kick of the week with some recommended reading and listening I covered on my trip. Before we get to it, though, just a friendly remind that September 22 (Friday) is the early-bird registration deadline for the Cressey Sports Performance Fall Seminar in Hudson, MA. You can find details HERE.

Now, let’s get to the recommendations:

Complete Single-Leg Training – This is Mike Robertson’s brand new resource, and I’m working my way through it right now. All early signs point to it being absolutely outstanding. You can save $50 this week on the introductory discount.

EC on the Pacey Performance Podcast – I joined Rob Pacey on his podcast to talk everything from rotational power development to movement assessments.

From Impossible to Inevitable – This book is largely focused on the growth of larger companies, but there are quite a few pearls of wisdom in there for folks in the fitness industry. It was a good listen; I especially liked the section on niche development.

I’ve quickly become a huge fan of the @versaclimber as a conditioning option for a few big reasons: 1️⃣ a larger amplitude of movement: not many cardio options get the arms up overhead (check out the scapular upward rotation taking place) 2️⃣ low impact: it’d be really hard to pull a hamstrings or develop a stress fracture doing this 3️⃣challenging: as you can see, I am not very efficient in my technique just yet. Compare this with an elliptical, where people can it look easy immediately. 👇 I did eight rounds of 40s. Rest consisted of heavy panting for 80s. 😜#versaclimber #cspfamily #hudsonma #conditioning #cardio
