Robertson Training Systems Newsletter 6.05
The Week in Review
It’s been a busy week, I’m not going to lie. I spent last weekend at the IYCA Summit in Louisville, Kentucky, which was awesome. Beyond hanging out with great coaches like Joe Kenn, Jason Ferrugia, and Brian Grasso, I also got to spend time with nutrition experts Chris and Kara Mohr, as well as business gurus Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry.
Needless to say, I love everything about the IYCA. If you’re passionate about working with young athletes, definitely check it out.
The International Youth Conditioning Association
It’s a short week next week, as I’m headed out to Los Angeles, CA, for the Cosgrove Business seminar. I’m not only looking forward to the seminar itself, but the warm weather as well! It should be a great time.
Without any further ado, here are this weeks updates. Enjoy!
In the Trenches with Mike Roussell
Let me say up front, this was a fantastic interview.
Mike has such a pragmatic, balanced approach to nutrition and I love it. We cover the spectrum of topics here, including the following:
– What the lay population does to sabotage their diet and nutrition
– What you need to do if you’re serious about losing body fat
– Why the Warp Speed Fat Loss program is so successful
– Why skinny guys fail to gain weight
– How to improve the disconnect between diet researchers and those who are practicing in the field.
Awesome, awesome interview guys – definitely check it out!
This is also going to be the last Podcast for a few weeks. I have a newsletter series on shoulders starting next week, so we’ll take a brief hiatus so I have time to pull those together.
Crush It vs. The Four-Hour Workweek
You know these books are on the opposite end of the spectrum, but both are fantastic in their own way. See how I use both to maximize efficiency, while not forgetting about my hustle!
Mastering the Kettlebell Swing
I think kettlebells are a fantastic tool to have in your arsenal, and swings really are the foundational lift. Check out some of the common flaws I see, as well as how to correct them.
Ed Coan is arguably the greastest powerlifter of all time. See how his tried-and-true methods can help you achieve newfound levels of strength and development.
What Strength Training Methods Work FOR YOU?
5/3/1? Westside? Linear periodization? With all the options, it can confuse just about anyone. As always, a little trial and error, coupled with finding out what works for you is the best course of action.
That’s it for this week. Have a great weekend and thanks for your support!
