THE WEEKLY BRIEF UPDATE

1. You can now purchase CORE @ Home for whatever it is you want to pay.

During quarantine I started a platform where I’d deliver 20-40 minute workouts that could be performed in everyone’s living room using minimal equipment.

In all I curated 36 workouts using nothing but bodyweight, bands, and kettlebells and/or dumbbells. With many people still reticent to head back to their regular gyms (not to mention the scarcity of gym equipment out there to purchase) I figured this would be a nice opportunity to help.

Whether you want to spend $1 or $100 (if the latter, we’ll be BFFs forever), the workouts are ready and available to start.

There have literally been thousands of articles and blog posts written on how to properly groove the hip hinge. . I’ve written roughly 719 of them myself. . The hip hinge (maximal hip flexion/minimal knee flexion, learning to dissociate hip movement from lumbar movement) helps clear a path for a more diverse climate of movement, and one that also helps promote athleticism & strength. . I’ve seen a pattern where some coaches are making this more complicated than it has to be. Sure, some people need more attention to detail, but a hip hinge doesn’t require too many shenanigans. . “Okay, so, what I need you to do is stand on this thingamajig, repeat the Elvish alphabet backwards, while standing underneath the light of this chakra balancing crystal I harvested from the bellybutton of a centaur.” . “Now think about keeping a neutral spine while also making sure maintain approximation of your 5th & 6th rib.” . “Also, breath through your eyeballs.” . See? A hip hinge! . 👉 Swipe over to see a quickie video I shot showcasing one of the simplest (and fool proof) ways to hammer down that pesky hip hinge. . Its so fresh and so clean (minus my clear failed attempt to be cool at the end of the video…😂)

STUFF TO READ WHILE YOU’RE PRETENDING TO WORK

Flex Diet Certification – Dr. Mike T. Nelson

There’s only a few days left to opt-in for access to Dr. Mike T. Nelson’s Flex Diet course. He’s opened it up to TG.com readers only this week and if you click THIS link you’ll opt in for a FREE one-hour webinar on what “flexible dieting” even means.

From there you can gain access to 30+ hours of continuing education on how to best implement nutrition & recovery strategies with your clients/athletes; a weak link for many.

It’s a game changer to say the least.

Velocity Based Training: Let’s Not Freak Out Over a Bar Speed Sensor. Look Beyond the Surface – Gerry DeFilippo

Some coaches are bit tepid when it comes to the efficacy of using speed sensors in the weight room. Others are such ardent supporters that they’ll shut down a session if a repetition is 0.001s  slower than the previous one.

(only a slight exaggeration).

I felt this was an excellent synopsis on the topic.

Fixing Athlete Posture – Travis Mash

Posture – it can be a dicey discussion. There’s a delicate balance between what’s “optimal” and “realistic” in addition to understanding that everyone is bit different.

Sub-optimal posture doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a walking ball of fail. But it IS pertinent information when it comes to the overall well-being and performance of an athlete.

I appreciated Travis’s approach with this one. Not fear mongering, but just preparing his lifters to be better lifters.

Casein or Whey for Weight Loss: Which Works Best?

Image
If you want to lose weight, should your protein shake contain whey or casein? Is one better than the other? Or will they have much the same effect on weight loss? Protein and Weight Loss When it comes to getting lean, protein has a couple of important roles. First, it does a better job at filling you up than carbohydrate or fat. Eat a protein-rich diet, for example, and chances are you’ll end up eating fewer calories throughout the day. Protein also has a muscle sparing effect. If you don’t get enough protein while you’re on a diet, you’ll end up losing muscle as well as fat. On the basis of how quickly they’re digested, proteins are divided into so-called fast and slow proteins. And the two that come to mind whenever someone mentions fast and slow proteins are whey and casein (pronounced kay-seen), both of which come from milk. Whey is considered a fast protein because it’s rapidly absorbed by the body. Casein, on the other hand, is a slow protein that takes longer to break dow...

Coach and Grow Rich – Tony Gentilcore

Share This: Fitness professionals are reticent to talk about money. Part of this is because it’s a topic we’re not taught. Ever. I don’t recall the “Financial Savviness” or “SEP IRA” chapter in my NSCA textbook. Too, partly, I think we’ve been programmed to think that we’re “selling out” if we bring up money or that we’d like to make more of it. Fit pros are just supposed to shut-up, work long hours, and take pride in the grind. That and apparently create the facade of wealth by posting lots of shirtless or arms crossed pictures next to sports cars on Instagram… Nevertheless, finances is a dearth topic in the fitness industry and something that should garner more of our attention. To that end, I’ll hand things over to fitness financial expert, Billy Hofacker , who chimes in today with the first of THREE installments of a series I believe will help a lot of people. Enjoy!
