First off, a big thank you goes out to all the veterans out there who have served our country. We appreciate all that you’ve done to protect our freedom! With that said, here are this week’s recommended strength and conditioning readings:

Suprising Supplements: Five Effective Nutrients You’ve Never Heard Of – This was an enlightening post at Precision Nutrition from my pal Brian St. Pierre, who co-authored the nutrition guide for The High Performance Handbook.

Freaks of Nature: When Biomechanics Go Out the Window – I always enjoy Dean Somerset’s stuff, and this “outside the box” post is no exception.
