I finished up my NYC seminar yesterday and am sticking around to spend a day in the city with my wife today, but I prepared a recommended reading list for you to enjoy in the meantime. Check it out:

The Ideal Business Show with Eric Cressey – Speaking of podcasts, this interview I did for Pat Rigsby a year ago, and I still think it’s one of the best ones with which I’ve been involved.

Top Tweet of the Week –

Don’t take mechanics solutions to athleticism problems. Before tinkering w/mechanics, make sure a pitcher can jog to mound w/out tripping.

Top Instagram Post of the Week –

 

*Work like a see-saw.* 👇 I’m a big fan of single-leg deadlifts, but the truth is that a lot of people struggle to master the hip hinge in single-leg stance. One of the quick and easy ways to correct this is to tell an athlete to “work like a see-saw.” In other words, imagine the dumbbell in front as being one side of the see-saw, and your foot in the back as the other end. Since the foot weighs less than the dumbbell, you’ve got to get it further out on the see-saw to have the same counterbalancing effect. ⚖️ Thanks to @frankduffyfitness for the stellar demonstration (with the 120lb DB, of course). 💪 #cspfamily #coachingcues #sportsperformance #sportsmedicine #singlelegdeadlift #hudsonma
