Good Reads for the Week: 2013 New Year’s Edition
Hey there. I missed a Good Reads post last week because I was slammed doing last minute Christmas stuff. I’m still pretty slammed, which is why I’ve been slacking on the blog the past couple weeks (and slacking on writing in general, actually) but I managed to put together another awesome list of articles from the past couple weeks. I even made the list a bit longer to account for some of last week’s stuff.
Before I get to the list though, I want to share a video of a recent trap bar deadlift I pulled: 370×21. That’s something I’ve wanted to do since the summer, so it feels good to get it by the end of the year. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone balls out on a set of high rep deads (it used to be one of my favorite things) so it felt good. And by good, I mean it friggin’ sucked
Remember to also subscribe to my You Tube page for more videos, as I’ve been sharing more. My channel actually went over 3 million views, which is absolutely mind-boggling to me. I’m very humbled and surprised that so many people have watched my ugly mug lift weights, but I really appreciate the support, so thanks!
Ok, on to the list. Here are a few things I wrote for T-Nation last week.
