I really look forward to watching whatever recordings of these presentations that might possibly be put out there...especially James Yeager.

Coach Rip,

I'd love to see a recording of the presentation on female incontinence issues. My bride has had minor issues with this after kid #2. She consistently attends one of those boot camp places (sigh) and this is an issue for her and virtually every attendee who's had kids. Wide range of severity. The bros who run her location are young 20's kids who aren't even aware of this issue and most of the women are uncomfortable bringing it up.

If the SS community of coaches can demonstrate an understanding of this issue, (regardless of whether SS helps with the issue or not) it could massively increase the number of female trainees. I very much doubt many trainers are focused on this issue, and simply by acknowledging it, SSCs would have about a mile head start. Women who previously wouldn't even think about getting under the bar would at least watch that video, and that might be enough to get them curious about the whole program.

As you must be aware of, we always video most of the presentations at the SSCAC for the website.

I would like to see the Yeager presentation too (I enjoy his YouTube channel). He just made a video celebrating "not being fat" for ten years in which he says he will now focus on achieving a 315 squat while cutting down a bit from his current 12% bodyfat. I think someone should have a gallon of whole milk waiting for him by the podium.

In fairness he wanted to achieve 315 for 15 reps (3x5)
