Gourment Nutrition Magazine for a Great Cause!

I don’t often post other offers and random stuff since I know your time is valuable and I do really appreciate the time you do take to read this blog BUT here is something very cool from Dr. John Berardi at Precision Nutrition (which is the system I use for all nutrition work).

Check out the message below from JB himself. In the interest of full disclosure I don’t make any money off of it and all of the profits that JB makes will be donated to buy GOOD food for those in need. You can even get the first one for FREE and it is very well done.

I have something very, VERY cool to share with you today.

Some of you will recall that a few months ago, we founded a non-profit organization called the Healthy Food Bank to buy basic nutritious food for food banks around North America.

What we didn’t tell you is that we had another amazing project in mind, right from the very beginning.

What if I told you that the same team that produced Gourmet Nutrition V2 (the same photography team, the same design team, the writers, the editors, and even some new faces) had created a brand new PDF food magazine — a food magazine that is stunning in every regard, from the design to the photography to the writing?

That it includes delicious, gourmet recipes in each issue and captivating articles covering everything from nutrition and food science to gardening and cultivation?

And what if I told you that the magazine is donating ALL of its profit to the Healthy Food Bank to buy good food for people in need?

Why, you’d say, “How do I subscribe?”

Then I’d say, “Go here, because your subscription will help a lot of people eat better tomorrow – including you!”

Enjoy,

PS: I’ll have more to say on this over the next few days, including an explanation of the name (spezza-what?), a complete review of the mag and some other great news.

PPS: By the way, there is a downloadable sample available on the site, and I encourage you to check it out for yourself. But don’t stop there. I strongly recommend you subscribe, because not only is it a good deed – it’s an amazing magazine on its own merit that I’m 100% positive you’ll love:

Average vs Olympic Athlete

Happy Friday! If you live in the USA, enjoy a long weekend as you are hopefully off for Labor Day.

Here is a fun video I blatantly stole from the Male Pattern Fitness Blog (which has some great stuff so check it out). The video shows the difference between average and Olympic levels!

Keep in mind that Olympic athletes have coaches and have complete many many more reps in their activity. As Dr. Cobb likes to say “If it is your first rep, how can you expect to be really good?”

Enjoy the video

Deadlift Tips!


Z Health I Phase
Z Health I Phase went great and more updates soon, but I need to kick out some revisions on my PhD writtens pronto, so more updates soon.
Congrats to all the new I Phase people–Fawn Friday, Dr. Jim Ryan, Joe Pavel, Brad “Top Notch”, Aaron S, and Marty. Excellent work!! It was a great review for myself again too and I got to teach a bit there also which was a blast. Aaron S from ND crashed on my couch, so excellent late night geeky chats too. See my older I Phase updates from last year HERE and
HERE–case studies

Deadlift
Gotta love the deadlift! I would love it even more if I could take about about 3 inches from my femurs, but such is life–ha! Here is a great run down of deadlift technique from Rippetoe. Great stuff!

Amazing Olympic Pictures Part 1 and Z Health I Phase Review

Notice how they always turn their head or eyes to either spot where they will land or towards the ball. Notice the balance of tension and relaxation (open palm/hand). Amazing!

I am just finishing up Z Health I Phase (yes once again) and it has been great! Excellent reminders and more practice for me on the I Phase drills with some feedback which is always helpful.

I Phase works to integrate eye muscle movements and also vestibular (inner ear balance) into your practice. Remember that the body primarily gets information your joints (proprioception), eyes (visual and proprioception from eye muscle movements) and vestibular (inner ear-balance); so it makes sense for optimal athletic performance that you will need some work on each one of these systems AND a way to know that they are working correctly.

All of them feed into the brain via the nervous system and some times they can become “rewired.” For an example, see the link HERE so I Phase provides some cool tools to retrain the nervous system and gets you on the fast track to amazing movement!
