As I write this, it’s the wee hours of the morning and I’m waiting for an early morning delivery of my birthday present. Yes, it’s my birthday today. The delivery is a new water heater and a $1200 bill to replace the barely 7-year old one in our house. Isn’t that wonderful?
The really frustrating thing about this unexpected expense is that it could have been avoided. Years ago I had noticed rusty stalagamites that looked like they belonged in a cave growing out of the water heater’s inlet pipe. I dismissed it as utility room cruft. Several months ago that rusty organic creature growing on the pipe caught my attention again and I made a mental note to ask an expert if it was a big deal or not.
I didn’t get a chance to ask the question, because on Saturday we didn’t have any hot water. I immediately knew what the problem was, and was relieved to find that the basement wasn’t completely flooded – just a minor pool of water. Because I waited until the problem literally blew up completely, it required replacing the whole water heater instead of a $3 pipe.
Which is a round-about analogy to say that you might want to take care of body function problems while they’re not a very big deal. We ALL have movement issues. You, me, and all of your favorite fitness experts. We’re all stuck somewhere.
The difference between those who continually perform at a high level and make progress and those who are well and truly stuck – with no progress in sight – is whether or not they intelligently address those issues.
One of the brightest guys athletes and regular joes turn to when they need to resolve an issue holding back their performance is Eric Cressey. I shared some videos Eric put out last week, so hopefully you already know about Eric and his world-class facility and clients.
Today he’s releasing his latest program, The High Performance Handbook.
I’m sure Eric can do a better job of explaining his program to you than I can, so I’d like to tell you why I think a program like The High Performance Handbook can be so useful.
See, I think that once you know how to use biofeedback you never need another program that tells you how to train again. The biofeedback your body gives you is remarkably good at telling you what you should or should not do. Another way of saying this is that you don’t need answers.
What you need are questions. Questions you can ask your body. Your body can move in nearly unlimited ways. The biggest limiting factor is what YOU can think of to ask of your body. New questions can lead to even better answers – answers in the form of results.
If you can lean on the work of one of the absolute best to help you ask better questions, why wouldn’t you?
Now, there is one more thing I should tell you. Eric is giving away some killer bonus gifts to anyone who purchases the product on my birthday. (OK, it has nothing to do with my birthday.) The big one is an all-expenses-paid trip to get evaluated and train for two days at his facility, Cressey Performance. Which is, well, insanely awesome. I have lifted there and it’s one of the most incredible facilities I’ve ever visited.
Suffice to say I think this is something that is well worth the investment.
Had I asked an expert some questions, I could have saved myself $1197.
