I woke up a little bit early today, so I’m going to try and knock this post out ASAP.  Hopefully it comes a little bit more coherent than I actually feel!

* Jim “Smitty” Smith has a great feature on his site today that I think you’ll enjoy; here’s the link:

The Top 3 Missing Components of Good Strength Programs

* We were supposed to have the one and only Eric Cressey on for the Podcast this week, but it didn’t work out.  I guess EC has been sick for the past week, and his voice more closely resembled Don Correleone than the boy from Maine we’ve all grown to know and love.  Hopefully we can get that knocked out next week.

* Speaking of the Podcast, you’ll notice it not only has its own link now, but we’re also up on iTunes as well.  Definitely try and show some support by ranking it, downloading it, and telling others about it.  I think it’s going to be a great resource going forward!

* This weekend Tony Gentilcore will be in town to talk shop, torture some clients, and eat a ridicluous amount of animal flesh.  It should be good times.

I’ve got to admit, I feel very privileged to be surrounded by such high level coaches and trainers.  These people don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk.  It’s not everyday you find people willing to travel on their days off to learn more about their craft and take their profession to the next level.  Very cool.

All right everyone I’m out of here – have a great weekend and train hard!

Stay strong

BTW – You’ll notice the random weapon for the random post.  Walter would be so proud – I’ll try and keep this tradition alive going forward!
