OUTSIDE RESOURCES
Linked here are websites/resources you can trust to produce quality content and products, all of which I use on a consistent basis. Look for updates to this page as I find more quality sources for great info all over the internet. One can never possess too much knowledge.
Strength & Conditioning​

Unicorn Strength Training: Probably the best collection of strength coaches on the planet. I might be a little biased, since I'm one of them, but I honestly believe that #TeamUnicorn can get anybody where they need to be as an athlete. Even if you're not a competitor and are just looking to better your health through strength, we've got something for you. We're also pretty cool.

National Strength and Conditioning Association: The NSCA is the governing body for all strength and conditioning coaches in the US, which certifies S&C specialists and conducts boatloads of research in the name of advancing our understanding of sport and exercise science. Their website is a wealth of resources for all of us in the strength game.

Examine.com: A comprehensive database of supplements which examines the evidence for each one in great detail. If you're trying to decide what to supplement your nutrition with, this is the best place to start (after speaking with your doctor, of course).
-
Dr. Naveed Shan, DPT: A close personal friend and the best physical therapist I know, Naveed is a highly skilled physical therapist and strength coach who is an even better person. I highly recommend following him for all types of life and strength knowledge, and if you're looking for a PT in the Phoenix, AZ area, look no further!
