Core training is a big part of our training programs and it is often referred to “ab work.” Through the teachings of Stuart McGill, Craig Liebenson, and Shirley Sahrmann, we realize that our core is used to transfer force and prevent movement versus producing movement. Many athletes have no idea how to properly use and engage their core for optimal performance and health.
Enter Mike Reinhold and Eric Cressey. They have put out a new online series that is going to address stability training for the entire body. Their first installment is on the core and the videos are outstanding. The videos are a series of lectures that explain what true stability training for the core is, how to train around any existing back injuries (which are very common), how to control extension in our athletes (many athletes live in extension and have no idea how to control their pelvis), and actual exercises on how to train the core properly.
This is truly outstanding and I’m excited to see what Mike have Eric planned in the future with their online database on stability training.

Mike Boyle is planning on releasing Functional Strength Coach Vol. 4 and if you have seen or heard anything from Mike before, you know it’s going to be well thought out, well planned and include things that you can implement right away.
Mike is probably the most influential strength and conditioning professional in the world and I know he’s had a big impact on my professional career. I was fortunate enough to intern for him 11 years ago and fortunate enough to consider him a friend now.
Check out Mike’s thought process in the video below…he really tries to break things down and thinks about all possible issues that may happen and teaches you how to coach and cue movement better.

Art Horne and Dan Boothby of Northeastern have done it again. The BSMPG summer conference is by far one of the best in the country. They have done a remarkable job collecting some great minds together from a variety of different disciplines. Some are well known while others are hidden gems. This years lineup is one that definitely won’t disappoint. Nowhere else will you find top three different tracts to choose from (Hockey, Basketball and Sports Medicine) as well as big time keynote speakers.
This year’s conference is May 19-20th at Northeastern University in beautiful Boston, MA. The networking and education you will receive from both the lectures and speaking with other professionals is worth the tuition itself. But Art and Dan have given our readers and followers a special $50 off coupon!! This is great value for what you are sure to get out of this conference.
