If anyone is still checking this out, we now have a subscription to the Crossfit Journal.  Glassman has lots of good thoughts and I think this will be a very worthwhile resource for your training.  

Please see me for the username and password.

meeting

Reminder: 

Meeting this Thursday @ 2:00pm

We'll be looking at the new personal training "book" prototype and some new tips and tricks.

Drop me a line at achaddick@maxor.com or post to comments if you will not be in attendance.  

the squat

Following up from last week's core training ideas, it's important to remember our best core exercises are not crunches and back extensions (although both have a place), but our core is truly activated in squats, especially overhead squats, deadlifts, and presses.  

Some great tips for teaching the squat correctly -

core training

Switching gears a little bit this week...

Here's a good article about core training from the NSCA's Performance Training Journal - 

http://www.nsca-lift.org/Perform/articles/070602.pdf

It has some excellent program examples based on client goals rather than the "this looks like fun" philosophy and an interesting reference to Williamson's study on rest periods.  

Might be something to think about...

training "handbook"

I would like for us to collectively develop a handbook of sorts that your clients would receive upon the first training session and then be able to keep and refer back to.  

I'm thinking of something with sections on:

1.  Testing (we would have forms for all of the tests you'd like to perform, still based off of exrx.net)

2.  Nutrition (we need some consensus on what an average nutritional plan should look like)

3.  General weight training principles

4.  General cardio training principles

5.  Top ten tips for getting/staying healthy?

What are your thoughts?  Would this be useful to you or your clients?  Would this help you be and look more professional as a trainer?  

What are your thoughts on the above topics?  Additions?  Changes?

Can we come to some consensus on what should and should not be included in order to keep every trainer on the same page?
