Articles to Read Week of Feb 18

Hope everybody is starting the week of right and getting after it. Here are a few articles I feel are worth your time and that you should take some time each day to read. So grab your morning beverage and educate yourself!

 

 

 

The first article is by the NPR and talks about a common pre-workout supplement called DMAA short for dimethylamylamine. It talks about the safety concerns of this supplement and how it may not be safe. It also contains a link to the companines that got a warning letter with products containing DMAA

The second article is a short one but an important one. It talks about finding time for yourself and how it is easy to do such a thing in such a hectic, fast paced world.

The third article is by Eric Cressey and is an awesome article about stretching. It talks about the 15 static stretching mistakes he encounters.

The next article is a little longer but if you like the science of training then read it. Pretty simple right? It is a sports science roundtable with a few doctors talking about specificity.
