Just recently I attended the Level 3 Australian Strength & Conditioning Association (ASCA) course with 7 other top strength & conditioning (S & C) coaches. The best part of this course was that Australia is blessed with world leaders in S & C and nutrition. The next best part of it all was that we had access to them (and other experts from the United States) for 5 days of “training & nutrition nerdism”.

Another thing I got up to on a recent trip to the Unites States (where I brushed up on my Active Release Techniques in San Diego) was to go and hang out with my buddy Joe Dowdell in New York before travelling up with him and a few of his trainers to the 2011 Eleiko Strength Summit. Joe owns Peak Performance, which is New York’s top personal training gym and he has everyone from Wall St bankers to NBA/MMA athletes to movie stars to Google’s CEO training there. For instance, while he and I trained one day, Hillary Swank and Ethan Hawke were both getting trained by personal trainers. And if you are wondering, yes they all have to do the prowler and sled no matter who they are! His gym has all manner of gym equipment (no gimmicks though) and he and I share a really similar philosophy to training: make sure your training contains the exercises that will give you the most value for time invested.
