Friday Thoughts 39
Welcome to another edition of Friday Thoughts. Hope you survived the heat these past few days!
I’m sure that this post from Eric Cressey is from 2011, and I think that’s refreshing. When I first got on Instagram, around that time, the only people who were sharing fitness content were actual coaches in actual gyms. Now, much of the fitness content is just about getting views by staying on top of Instagram trends, and many of the creators don’t actually train people in gyms. Oh, and bear crawls are awesome.
This is the most impressive goblet squat I’ve ever seen. You may know that we have that kettlebell, but I don’t think I can even come close to squatting it, never mind just getting it into the goblet position. Super impressive!
I’ve noticed that many of you….Text me like this. This was an interesting take.
Jordan always has a thoughtful take about making lifestyle changes, and this post about creatine, or supplements in general hits the nail on the head. In summary, he says if you haven’t been consistent with nutrition for at least 3 years, don’t worry about what supplements to take. His point, look at the bigger fish to fry; appropriate fueling, consistent training, quality sleep, all these other healthy habits should be dialed in before supplements.
The gym is important, but so are the other 23 hours…
Thanks for reading.
