Functional Path Training: NSCA Convention

Functional Path Training

The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

NSCA Convention

It just occurred to me after reading Tracey Fobers blog http://ironmaven.blogspot.com that the NSCA convention in going on right now. Any of you who are attending I would be interested to hear about any great presentations or information that you learned. This used to be a big event on my calendar, but frankly over the years the quality of the presentations seemed to decline significantly. There were too many people trying to sell stuff instead of sharing ideas. The last one I attended, in Minneapolis, I basically only went to the research presentation and a presentation by Stuart McGill which was at best average. Not because of the quality of the presenter, but he felt he had dumb it down for the audience.

I did enjoy Gray Cook's "hands on" session that he did over lunch and learned much more in those 30 minutes than I did in his two hour presentation. I definitely won't go out of my way to attend another convention
