Strength and Conditioning Stuff You Should Read: 2/29/16
Happy Leap Day! Here’s some recommended strength and conditioning reading to help you make the most of your “extra” day:
Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World – Adam Grant (author of “Give and Take) released this earlier in the month, and I just wrapped up the audiobook and enjoyed it. If you like Malcolm Gladwell, Seth Godin, Chip and Dan Heath, Daniel Pink, etc., you’ll like it, too.
Carb Controversy: Why Low Carb Diets Have It All Wrong – Brian St. Pierre makes an appearance in our recommending reading two weeks in a row. He’s been on fire with great content for Precision Nutrition. Speaking of Brian, don’t forget that he’ll be delivering a one-day seminar at Cressey Sports Performance in Massachusetts on April 10.

You Need a Reality Check – Todd Hamer is a great strength and conditioning coach and writer. He offers some great perspective in this piece. In short, it’s very easy to criticize when you aren’t willing to think critically about someone’s rationale for programming as they do.
