As you’re reading this right now I am in Winnipeg, Manitoba so if
it take me a couple days to answer you emails, that’s why.

Here’s this week’s edition for you:

- Research has shown that pushups activate the rectus abdominus and
external obliques (your abs) even more then squats and deadlifts.
Pushups will also help prevent shoulder injuries if you do them
right. Craig shows a few examples here

- A player came up to me the other day and asked me if he could
‘dipset’. After a good 5 seconds of silence and me starring at him
with a total look of confusion I finally asked, “WHAT?” Apparently
that’s the new lingo these days for “can I leave”.

- quote of the week: “I’ve never looked at another player and said
I have to be better then him. I look at myself and say I have to be
better, Period.” - Danny Wuerfell, University of Florida

- toning doesn’t exist. You can’t ’shape’ your muscles either. It’s
all genetics (unless chemically enhanced) on how your muscles look.
and light weights aren’t going to ‘tone’. You need to build the
muscle to get that ‘toned’ look.

- the 100 calorie snack craze is pretty funny in my opinion. I
know it’s better to eat less of the bad stuff, but we all know that
doesn’t make it any better for you. I’ll actually have a f.r.e.e
100 calorie report for you next week from nutritionist Jayson Hunter,
who is the author of the Carb Rotation Diet.

- blog of the week is Tony Gentilcore’s, who is actually pretty
hilarious about the industry and exercise…I think so anyways.

Let me know your thoughts and questions.

Have a great one,
