One myth that just won’t die is that strength training for kids is uniquely dangerous. FACT - It is far less dangerous than the sports our kids are actually playing. FACT - Improves most aspects of athleticism.... FACT - Sets kids up for being healthy adults. Click the link in my bio to read the summary, or download the full e-book (for free). The e-book is 3300 words with 36 unique references...so it’s a little more trust worthy than the parent who told you that they heard lifting weights can stunt a kids growth. #chestyspeed #youthtraining #athletedevelopment #ltad #strengthtraining #bulletproof #speed #kids #children #injuryprevention #school #health #yyc #yycfitness

Little E-Book Drop No idea where to start with your nutrition after the New Year? What diet should you pick?... How much protein do you need for gainzZz? Does nutrition timing or supplements matter? A quick and dirty guide to help get you started. Note - this is not a diet plan, it’s evidence-based info to point you in the right direction because this industry has a knack for prescribing inappropriate info for most individuals.

Just some guys being dudes. Last training session with @peytonkrebs before he heads off to World Juniors and then rejoins the @vegasgoldenknights for the upcoming season. It’s great working with a true professional that takes his dryland training as serious as his on ice work. Good luck brother, see you next summer! PS - You still owe me a jersey ... #giessquad #chestyspeed @chestermerespeedschool @final20hd #hockey #vegasgoldenknights

Little piece I wrote for @chestermerespeedschool about why you need to train in-season if being a better athlete is important to you. I was sick and tired of seeing athletes training their butts off all off-season only to throw it away because they (or their parents) didn’t think training in-season was important Give it a read. Give it a share. Let me know what you think!... Cover Model - @peytonkrebs #giessquad #chestyspeed #inseason #training #blog #article #sportscience #yyc #fitfam #yycfitness
