Happy belated Mother’s Day to all the mothers who read this blog; I hope you all had a great day yesterday! As a belated gift, here are some recommended resources for the week:

A Doctor’s View of CrossFit – I thought this was an excellent interview at T-Nation with Dr. Stuart McGill, arguably the world’s premier spine specialist. He definitely covered some points that haven’t been mentioned previously in the Crossfit debate, and you’ll find quite a few one-liners you’ll want to commit to memory. One that stood out to me: “Olympic lifting must find the lifter. Not the other way around given the special anatomical gifts needed to lift with efficiency and injury resiliency.”

An Interview with Eric Cressey, by Jason Glass – Jason and I talked shop a few weeks ago, and you can listen to the podcast online now. We covered a lot of topics, the foremost of which was training rotational sport athletes.

Hip Extension and Rotation in the Baseball Swing – I had a great conversation with a seminar attendee this weekend about this very topic, so I thought I’d bring this great guest post from Jeff Albert (minor league hitting coordinator for the Houston Astros) back to the forefront.
