Welcome to the month of April at elitefts!

Rolling out the content schedule, we’re celebrating Autism Awareness Month by donating sale proceeds to Haugland Learning Center, airing a Table Talk Podcast on the topic of autism with host Dave Tate and myself as his guest, and publishing a mix of new and old articles told from the perspectives of a father and a physical educator, both of whom have been touched by another with autism.

Authors Mark Dugdale, Swede Burns, and Matt Ladewski explore competition. Read as a powerlifting coach, powerlifter, and bodybuilder discuss training leading up to competition, post-competition do’s and don’ts so you don’t get the blues, and training recommendations that deter injury.

Chris Cooper explains how to get your clients back using just a 10-word email. Chris Janek, with the help of Strength N Honor Training Facility’s owner and head strength and conditioning coach Steve Konopka, publishes the fourth and final part of the BAMF Wrestler series. Josh Bryant interviews Al Vermeil. Chad Aichs shares his essentials of supplemental training. JP Carroll interviews Heidi Howar. Matt Mills fixes upper back weaknesses you're experiencing in strongman. elitefts staff welcomes you through Union Fitness’ open doors as we explore the inner workings of this gym, which is managed by Casey Williams and located in Steeler Nation’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

As we get closer to the Strong(er) Sports Training Success Seminar (April 26th-28th), don’t miss our content leading up to the event from the expert pool of presenters: JL Holdsworth, Joe Bennett, Julia Ladewski, Alwyn Cosgrove, Ken Kinakin, Buddy Morris, and Eric Serrano.
