| First off, on Veterans Day, a big thank you goes out to all our readers who either have served or are serving in the military. We appreciate all that you do and have done!
With that said, here are a few recommended reads for the week:
7 Fat Loss Essentials - This is a free webinar from Dr. Mike Roussell that I thought was extremely well done. I've always enjoyed Mike's nutrition stuff, and it's awesome to see him kicking out great content on a regular basis now that he's done with his PhD.
Inverted Row Ignorance - I saw an ugly inverted row video online this week, and it reminded me of this post I wrote back in 2009. Everything I said still holds true, though!
Don't Forget the S-C Joint - Patrick Ward posted this great blog on the impact of the sternoclavicular joint on upper extremity function. It's a bit more "geeky" and largely aimed toward manual therapists, but there are still some valuable lessons to learn for all of us. I can tell you that nine out of ten times, right-handed pitchers are going to be very fibrotic in the subclavius area - just lateral to the S-C joint. Attending to this one region can yield big payoffs in terms of upper extremity movement.

| Here's this week's list of recommended strength and conditioning reading:
Thoracolumbar Fascia: An Area Rich with Activity - This was an outstanding guest blog from Patrick Ward on Mike Reinold's site. I'm a big fan of Patrick's writing; he really does an excellent job of blending manual therapy with corrective exercise.
Why Finger Pointing at Carbs is Missing the Point - Brian St. Pierre kicks off what is sure to be a great series by focusing on yet another area in which we overreact on the nutrition side of things.
Why You Need More Strength - In my eyes, this is one of the best things Chad Waterbury has ever written - and Chad is a super-bright guy who has written a lot of excellent stuff.

| Here's a list of recommended strength and conditioning reading for the week:
Complete Core Fitness - This is Mike Robertson's newly-released product, and it includes seven webinars that covers functional anatomy, Mike's assessment process, and the four phases of core progressions that he used with clients. Admittedly, I have not finished reviewing it, but from what I have watched thus far, it is absolutely fantastic. Remember that Mike (like me) is one of the few guys out there who actually trains people in addition to creating information products; this alone should make you appreciate how valuable his perspective is. I'd strongly recommend you check it out.
Scars and Scar Tissue - Patrick Ward kicks out some fantastic blog content in a variety of contexts, but especially on the manual therapy side of things. This one is certainly no exception.
Magnificent Magnesium - Brian St. Pierre contributed this piece over at T-Nation. It was extremely well researched and definitely worth a read - especially if you're someone who enjoyed his recent series on dairy here at EricCressey.com (if you missed them, check out part 1, part 2, and part 3).

Rachel's one of the most in-demand trainers, speakers, consultants, and writers in the world of female strength and conditioning, and she's sure to provide some excellent information that can help any of the up-and-coming female fitness professionals reading this blog.
Groin Pain: Referrals and Soft Tissue Therapy - Patrick Ward continues to kick out impressive content - and this post is no exception. If you deal with athletes with hip pain, this is a must-read.
Getting Into Your Toes - Charlie Weingroff makes some excellent points about toe positioning in our strength and conditioning programs. A subtle modification could have some really positive effects on our strength training programs and stretching protocols.
