Video: Band Resisted Anti-Rotation Press
Core stability should be one of the main focuses of everyone’s programs. You have most likely already seen Palloff presses, rollouts, landmines, ect. But what if you don’t have a cable station or just want something a bit more challenging? Here is something I partly stole from Mike Boyle when he was talking on the Strength Coach Podcast. All you need is a band and a sturdy pole. swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/e0Uzi5OwQfU&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0",... Read More
9 Things I Learned in 2009: Part 2
This is part 2 of the things I learned in 2009. It is going to be just 9 things (even though I learned countless things). If you haven’t already, read part 1 then hurry back! #6 If you are in a Position to Help Others, Do so. This is an actual conversation that I had with someone a few months ago: Dude: What is up with all of that stuff you have that says, “Lift Strong,” on it? Me: Oh, yeah, it is for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. A friend of mind put together... Read More
Review: Nick Tumminello’s CNS Activation DVD
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS A few weeks ago I reviewed volumes 1 and 2 of Nick Tuminello’s War Up Progression DVD series. Volume 3 completes the package covering CNS Activation. This is my favorite DVD in the series because to be honest, CNS activation isn’t covered or talked about as much as it should be. The DVD covers 30 exercises including variations which you can use as part of your (or your athlete’s/client’s) warm-up. CNS activation is all about getting... Read More
Yoga: So I am Taking a Class on Sunday
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS Yoga…Well…Yoga is… OK, I will admit, I am not a huge fan of yoga. It isn’t because I don’t think it is a good form of exercise because I do. It is defiantly better than nothing. It isn’t because I don’t want to have “better sex” (see picture to left). It isn’t because I think it is exclusively for women. I am not a big fan of yoga because people taking the classes could may hurt themselves by: Becoming... Read More

Guest Blog: The Incredible Internship of Kevin Larrabee
By: Brian St. Pierre, CSCS Kevin has left his indelible mark forever at Cressey Performance. I highly doubt there will ever be another intern quite like him. His obsession with lame TV shows like Chuck, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica and that crappy Terminator show. His incorrect insistence that Star Trek is better than Star Wars, which we all know is asinine, along with his overall terrible taste in movies (Transporter series?). His relentless use of “that’s what she said”,... Read More
