Written on April 23, 2016 at 5:16 am, by Eric Cressey

It's a rainy Saturday morning, so what better way to overcome the weather than to check out some good reading material? Here's some excellent stuff I've come across lately:

4 Reasons Fitness Professionals Must Understand Corrective Exercise and Post-Rehab Training - I wrote up this post a few years ago, but wanted to bring it back to the forefront in light of the fact that Dean Somerset put his excellent resource, Post-Rehab Essentials, on sale for $50 off through the end of the weekend.

"Because My Boss Sucks" is a Sh**ty Reason to Open Your Own Gym - The title is a bit aggressive, but my business partner, Pete Dupuis, wrote up a great post for all the fitness professionals out there who are considering opening their own facilities. 

Scaling Up Excellence - I finished up this excellent book by Robert Sutton on my drive back to Massachusetts last weekend. It's targeted toward managing growth of businesses, but has a ton of invaluable messages for coaches, too.

I've also decided to start including my top Tweet and Instagram posts of the week in this weekly feature. Here they are:

Calf training tips: 1. Pick the right parents so that you wind up with skinny ankles. 2. Wear low-cut socks. 3. Instead of using your glutes to finish your hip extension, just use your calves to do it for many, many, many years. That's all I've got. #broscience
