The Best of 2009: Guest Submissions

Written on January 7, 2010 at 12:38 pm, by Eric Cressey

This week, I’ve already featured our top articles, product reviews, and videos of 2009.  I was also really lucky to have some bright minds as guest contributors this year, and today I’ll feature a few of their submissions.

The Rocker Inferior Capsule Stretch – This excellent submission from physical therapist Tim DiFrancesco shows a shoulder mobility exercises we’ve used with some of our guys with excellent results.  It includes some great videos like this:

So What Does a Pitching Coach Do, Anyway? – I love this guest blog from Matt Blake, a great pitching guy with whom I get to work daily.  It just goes to show you that there is a lot more to understand than mechanics when it comes to developing elite pitchers.

21st Century Nutrition: Talking Shop with Dr. John Berardi – This was more of an interview than a guest submission, but let’s be honest: JB provided most of the content here!  He discusses the future of nutrition and the success of Precision Nutrition.

The Be-All, End-All Throwing Program from Your Favorite Snake Oil Salesman – Here’s another post from Matt Blake.  I like this one because it’s entertaining thanks to the cynical tone that kicks it off, but educational because of the justification for that cynicism.  It’s classic “info-tainment.”

Real Activation: Modifying a Classic Core Movement – Jim Smith is perhaps best known for being a true innovator when it comes to exercise selection, and this post was an excellent one for that very reason.

Interval Training: HIIT or Miss? – A great guest submission from Mike Boyle; enough said!

Building Vibrant Health Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 – Eric Talmant presented a comprehensive look at his involvement with Metabolic Typing(R).

Thanks to everyone for the time they spent on creating these pieces, and the expertise they shared!
