What I’m Reading – 12 Rules for Life
There is a lot out there on Jordan Peterson and his stance on specific issues. I have a completely indifferent stance on him. I am personally concerned with the general message from his writings. If there is someone out there who takes exception to me reviewing his book, I sincerely hope it is coming from […]
What I’m Reading – Muscle Hypertrophy
I’ll start off by saying I have really liked Brad’s work for sometime now. I present on hypertrophy a lot, and I cite a lot of Brad’s work. Brad has an immense amount of published work outside of this book: Brad Schoenfeld Hypertrophy. I have looked at and cited so many of these articles that […]
What I’m Reading : Measure What Matters
The summary statement from this book is that businesses and teams should be focussed on ‘OKR’s (Objectives and Key Results) over bullet point goals or check marks. Goal setting for any institution should be utilized by every team or business. The question therefore becomes on how to effectively do that. In my opinion, I felt […]

What I Am Reading – The Art & Science of Teaching Movement
I have seen Nick talk several times about cueing which always has been impressive. I held off on making the commitment to this book for a while now. I guess it’s like seeing the movie first and hearing the book is even better. This leads to not wanting to make the commitment, due to knowing […]

What I’m Reading – February The Circadian Code
I went through this in a previous post about an article I pulled from Eric Schmitt’s personal instagram: observing what people you admire or respect are reading can help you know what you should read.

What I’m Reading – February The Immunity Fix
I have to be honest—this book was extremely reinforcing for what I believed prior to reading Immunity Fix.
