Today’s a quick one for you guys but still great reads especially for personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts.
All About the Front Squat
With all the craze about squatting now a days, I thought bringing back this older post would be a great read for those that are interesting in front squatting.

Sleep, Stress, and Salmon
A really great read on balancing your stress and knowing when to back down a bit.
Here’s quick glimpse:
“Studies on elite performers like Olympic athletes and Navy SEALs show that their peak performance isn’t just from hard work or mental toughness.
Top performance — sustained top performance — comes from recovery. Realrecovery. Something which few of us truly enjoy
Modern life means that most of us live in the gray zone. We’re never engaged in a single task, and we’re never disengaged in something rejuvenating.
We browse news and check instant messages while working. We glance at incoming emails on our phone during dinner.
That’s where I was in 2009.”

Farewell to Gluten Free
While this is an opinion piece I believe there are many great points in here. One of the biggest is that “glute free” or “natural” does NOT equate to healthy food despite the common foods like “gluten free pizza” and so on constantly popping up. It also has great quotes like:
‘People treat food like religion, it’s really strange’
This is definitely worth a read and hopefully will develop some great dialogue with your personal trainer, strength coaches, and colleagues.
