Articles Thread...

It was suggested by Lucy that we start an "articles" thread where you post your favorite articles on here (or ones you find helpful along the way)...

They can be anything related to lifting (programs, diet, mindset, etc)...

Post away!!

Well shoot. I guess I ought to get the ball rolling then.

Here are my favorites from Eric Cressey, which all happen to be on shoulder issues.

"3 things everyone should know about the shoulder" (interesting)

"Cracking the rotator cuff conundrum" (with some rehab exercises)

"Why President Obama throws like a girl" (because we all want to know... and excepting girls whose dad played catch with them :-D)

Well it would be embarrassing if this thing died... :-)

This is one I read over and over... always a big lesson for me

I really benefited from this regarding bench technique.

This is kind of interesting. I love Charles Poliquin. He's a genius and has a scathing sense of sarcasm.

"The Five Elements" ...discusses types of people and their "training personalities."

I will get a chance to read some of these tmrw, I haven't had much free time yet. The thread won't die... I love reading articles about lifting!

This is not specifically about lifting but it's about a woman's journey OUT of veganism. I imagine that I'm not the only person with friends who are supremely misguided about eating meat, for ethical, social or health reasons. She really comprehensively explains on all counts why veganism is a big crock on ALL of those counts. I don't usually get into it with people over food... it's not worth it... but it still is painful to see people NOT eat MEAT! and this was just really good.
