Certainly I appreciate of all the coaches' busy schedules. I will, on your recommendation alone, give it a go. Also thanks for those gnarly Russian step ups ... completely crushed me.

If by unable to offer an endorsement you meant that we were busy all day coaching clients or designing programs for them, you are correct. I have shared my thoughts about Lights Out with several people who might find it odd that I endorse it while still despising the book. But here's the deal, it is a great theory of how we should rest and recover. I find some of the suggestions in the book to be less than practical for me. I wouldn't contest that Riley's suggestions would make me healthier, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I could actually implement them. So, it seemed to dangle a carrot that was well out of my reach. That said, I am in the process of trying to make changes that will bring me CLOSER to compliance with Wiley's suggestions (fully knowing that I will never implement them all). If the book causes you to move in the right direction, I think it's a worthy read. Hope that helps. Courtland,

Fine, that mean it goes off the reading list. Now for some real anti-sugar excitement, everyone should check this endocrinologist tell the world the truth. 90 minutes but well worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Have a great weekend everyone. Hammer, I did 315, 335 and 345 on the DLs today...like bull. :) My question yesterday elicited exactly ZERO responses so I assume no trainers or member read the Sugar Sleep Survival “recommended” reading or was unable or uninterested in offering a public endorsement for it.

I feel it is important to be called out when we get sloppy or are not putting forth an honest effort. You have showed many of us what is achievable with your cues and your determination as a coach and athlete. You will truley be missed when you venture north for the next chapter of your life.

It might be loud and intense, but it smacks of caring and expertise, and those are what matter. Thanks for your help with the strength work and I will keep trying to progress using the things we've covered. Cheers, Courtland Hammer,
