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

Thoracolumbar Fascia: An Area Rich with Activity – This was an outstanding guest blog from Patrick Ward on Mike Reinold’s site. I’m a big fan of Patrick’s writing; he really does an excellent job of blending manual therapy with corrective exercise.

Why Finger Pointing at Carbs is Missing the Point – Brian St. Pierre kicks off what is sure to be a great series by focusing on yet another area in which we overreact on the nutrition side of things.

Why You Need More Strength – In my eyes, this is one of the best things Chad Waterbury has ever written – and Chad is a super-bright guy who has written a lot of excellent stuff.
