Another insane week here at Straight to the Bar. Amid the mayhem :
- Articles : UK Sport took a great look at Eating Disorders in Sports, Charles Staley again shared his thoughts on periodization and Blaine discussed the upcoming IAAF World Championships.
- Videos : Some great videos this week including demonstrations of both Kali and Knee Walking, Olympic lifting from Travis Mash and Marcin Dołęga, and Scott McElroy makes phonebook tearing look easy. Superb.
- Sites : Team OBX shows how it's done at Overhead and Heavy, Shredded TV gets ready to stream bodybuilding videos and Fast Food Maps shows where to go when you've 'gots to get your burger on'.
- Ideas : Grab a couple of bands and get ready to face your fears, sign up for some Parkour coaching at PK Cali and see how low you can go.
- Bonus : Via Gymrat - American Gladiators is set to return. If you're not old enough to remember the original show, here's the intro :
Incidentally, NBC is currently looking for Gladiators and Contenders. Excellent.
