Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 12/15/14
Here are some good fitness and nutrition reads from around the ‘net:
Elite Training Mentorship – In the most recent update, I provide two exercise demonstration videos, and Cressey Sports Performance coach Miguel Aragoncillo kicks off a two-part webinar series on energy systems development.
Chocolate and All Its Health Benefits – Examine.com always does a great job of evaluating nutrition and supplementation questions folks have, and this quick but informative article is no exception.
Mastery – I’m currently listening to this audiobook and really enjoying it, as it takes close looks at how some of the greatest “masters” of all time got to that level of proficiency and success in their chosen crafts.
One of my favorite quotes thus far is, “The very desire to find shortcuts makes you eminently unsuited for any kind of mastery.” The author, Robert Greene, is a huge fan of “apprenticeships,” and it goes without saying that these take time. The fitness industry is no exception.
