Most Recent Lifting Club Newsletter

Broskis and Braskis,

Sadly, there will be no meeting tomorrow. Perhaps there may be a meeting later in the week if schedules allow for it, but don’t count on it. I know you’re sad right now, but try not to cry.

Anyway, since it is finals week I thought I would give you all some more reading! Yes, more reading is just what the doctor ordered and there will be a test. Let the fun begin.

– An article discussing the potential benefits of fasted training for endurance athletes. The article focuses on the shocking findings of a recent study comparing the effects of fasted training versus fed training. I’ve messed around with fasted training in the past and this article seems to solidify a few thoughts I had earlier that fasted training in moderation can be very beneficial. It will blow your mind.

- If you’re not reading Bret Contreras’ work, you’re missing out on one of the most innovative thinkers in the field. This is a long article covering a whole range of topics that beginners and experienced lifters need to know. I cannot say enough about this dude without seeming like a groupie.

- This is an article discussing a variation of a popular ab exercise. When I say popular, I don’t mean crunches. I mean an exercise that won’t ruin your posture and give you back pain. What am I talking about? The pallof press. I’ve shown it to a couple of people in the gym and I’ve started to see more and more people doing it. Nick Tumminello is good at taking innovative exercises and making them more innovative, which is what he does with the standard pallof press here.

- The only word that can accurately describe this article is “dank.” Nothing more needs to be said.

That’s all for this week. Hopefully there’ll be more content next week. I also realize nobody checks their emails over the summer, so you can follow me on my rarely updated blog:

Yep, I got a blog. I’m a big shot. Please don’t judge me.
