I still can’t believe we look to small domestic rodents to predict the weather. In Edmonton even if he sees his shadow, it’s a guarantee we have at least another 6 weeks of winter.

So let’s go through some stuff to help keep you warm

SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF

I had a client train with me after working through many other trainers. She said she'd work with me forever because of 3 simple things: "You show up, you're on time & you have a plan ready. None of the others were ever able to do all 3 at once." It's a low bar. Hit it every time. https://t.co/NzQ1ymQDC3

WRITTEN STUFF

For those old-school folks who like to read words written with letters, here’s a few articles to satiate your desires.

 

What 3 Hybrid Physical Therapist/Strength Coaches Want You To Know About Pain, Exercise and Movement – Physio-Network.com

This was an awesome article with solid overviews of pain science, movement competency, and approaches very knowledgeable and practically skilled professionals use when describing pain or movement issues to their clients and patients.

 

6 Random Thoughts On Programming for and Coaching Young Athletes – Mike Robertson

One thing I love about reading Mike’s work is seeing where we agree and where he sheds light on potential blind spots I have in my own approaches. I picked out a lot of blind spots on this piece.

 

The Big Toe and the Squat – Tony Gentilcore

One of the first places I look when coaching someone’s squat is at their feet to see what’s happening during their eccentric phase. Tony writes a great outline of why feet on the squat matter, but specifically where that cheeky big toe may wind up in some less than perfect examples of squatting success.

 

Enjoy the rest of the week and stay warm, fam!
