I hope you had a great weekend. Here’s a little strength and conditioning content from around the ‘Net to get your week started on the right foot:

Mastering the Basics MUST Precede Embracing a Specific Methodology – John O’Neil is our Director of Performance at Cressey Sports Performance – MA, and with that role, oversees our internship program. In this article, he discusses a trend he’s observed in up-and-coming coaches. This is one of the most important articles I’ve read this year.

15 Static Stretching Mistakes – This is one of my most popular articles of all-time, and I wanted to reincarnate it from the archives in light of a conversation I had the other day.

The Top 19 Nutrition Myths of 2019 – The crew at Examine.com never disappoints, and this article is no exception.

Glute-ham raises with banded reach are a great way to train scapular upward rotation while working the posterior chain.
