Stuff to Check Out: Pre-Canadian Thanksgiving Edition

I just spent the weekend in Washington, DC at the NSCA Conference where I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak. My seminar was on using a checklist approach to determining the root causes of common movement dysfunctions. My seminar was immediately before Gray Cook did one, which meant for the morning seminar he stood at the back of the room and listened for a little while to what I was talking about, and the good news is his head didn’t explode!! We chatted for about a minute as I handed him all the AV stuff and he didn’t shoot me a look like “YOU’RE THE PROBLEM WITH EVERYTHING!!” so I have that going for me I guess. I also got to reconnect with a bunch of old friends and colleagues in the fitness industry too, and have a bunch of laughs being just regular dudes and bros.

I also did some sightseeing around the city, which was really neat as it was my first time there. In spite of getting a pic of the Treasury building and thinking it was the White House, everything else went really well. I even saw the president’s helicopter come in and leave from the White House, complete with 3 escorting helicopters, which was awesome.

This was also the first time I traveled with an international roaming SIM card in my phone, which means it was the first time I was able to obsessively check my emails and post selfies like no one’s business.

It’s a good thing I was checking emails throughout the day, as I found out I was releasing a video product that day. Rick Kaselj had me out to Vancouver back in April to teach a workshop and we filmed the thing. It’s a full day seminar on developing the most mobility humanly possible with simple and effective tricks of physiology, corrective exercises, and advanced positional considerations. I called it Ruthless Mobility.

This video series goes through the most cutting edge techniques and information used to get myself and my clients immediate increases in range of motion, but also changes that stick permanently and aren’t lost within a few minutes following the intervention. I made the product heavily hands on so that people could learn not merely from the science aspect, but also from the coaching and application aspect of how to put this into action, work with themselves or clients to get the best results, and also show a breadth of different methods to utilize this information in your programs.

It’s on an initial launch pricing of only $39 for the entire series, more than 50% off the full sale price, but it’s only on sale until Wednesday October 8th at midnight, so you’ll have to act quickly to get it.

Second to this, since it’s Canadian Thanksgiving this coming week, I figured I would put Post Rehab Essentials V.2.0 on sale for the first time this year. Until Monday evening at midnight, the video series is on for only $87, marked down from $117. The series comes complete with CEUs from the NSCA and ACE, as well as 12 hours of my shining happy face talking about injuries and how to make people into beasts.

The series is available for instant digital download which makes it even easier to buy since there’s no 2-4 weeks shipping time that you have to wait for.

Speaking of amazing things, recently the world record for the marathon was broken by Dennis Kimetto, a 30 year old Kenyan who managed the time of only 2:02:57. To put that into perspective, he was holding about 13 miles per hour, for over 2 hours. Some people may be able to hold 13 miles per hour as their sprint speed, and might do this for maybe 10-40 seconds depending on the individual, but it’s absolutely bananas to think of holding that for over 2 hours.

Read the story HERE.

I wrote an article a while back that looked at how some people are just freaks, but incredibly well suited to their activities HERE, so you should definitely check that out for some more info on how the odd balls of their sport still exist without breaking down horribly.

Finally, Tony Gentilcore and I are continuing our World Domination Tour and heading back to Washington in 2 weeks, followed by Los Angeles at the end of November. We have a few choice seats left for the Washington event, and lots of room left for LA. The cool thing is we managed to talk a few of our more “famous” fitness industry friends into making some cameo appearances, which is going to be awesome.
