My Best Articles of 2015

Holiday season went by fast.

Good. Never could understand all that fuss.

Though it was great to train in an empty gym when everyone else was busy eating their way into a carb coma.

I was working on some new movements like the ring pelican push-up and 1 arm dragonflags. Oh, and also managed to hit three PR’s on Boxing Day.

Yes, it was a great Christmas.

The other day, I laid out the 10 most popular articles of mine based on page views, social media likes/shares and e-mails received from readers in the past year.

Now it’s my turn.

Here are my own top 5 choices for best articles of 2015.

#1 5 Stanley Cup Champ Training Tips from the Chicago Blackhawks

Chicago Cup 2015

The Blackhawks’ 2015 playoff run that led to their third Cup in six years was a blast to watch.

What made it even more memorable for me were Teuvo Teräväinen’s (whom I watched play many times for my hometown team Jokerit Helsinki before his NHL career) clutch performance in the finals and the moment when Jonathan Toews hands over the Cup to Kimmo Timonen.

In this article I point out what we can learn from the most successful NHL team in the past decade.
