This week was another good week to pursue improvement in all things.  This pursuit can be for results or for process.  Every week this pursuit might be different.  The mentality remains the same, and that’s what matters.

Here are a list of the best strength and mental training articles I have found in the last week.  It is my hope they can give you as many ideas as they gave me.
