This week on Straight to the Bar - a couple of great entries to the DIY Equipment competition, the largest rack I've ever seen and lots more :
- Articles : Chad Waterbury and Pavel Tsatsouline take a look at eccentric training, Jedd brings out part IV of his excellent Straight to the Grip Contest series and Dr Eric Serrano chats to Paul Catanzarro about stress, hormones and fat loss. Very interesting stuff.
- Videos : The Diesel Crew demonstrates the Double Rolling Thunder Hold, strongman Svend Karlsen releases the trailer for his new DVD and Mark Obenhaus captures some great skiing action in his documentary Steep.
- Sites : This week saw both training blogs and strength sites aplenty. On the hit list - Marathon Training and Nutrition, Keyboard Vagaries, The Buffling Evolutions, Boston Marathon or Bust, Girevoy Sport, Get Body Smart, Mamma Health, StrongLifts.com and Eric Godfrey's superb site on bending.
- Strongman and Grip : A little card tearing and horseshoe bending, Yoke walking and 2-handed pinching.
- Bonus : Via Lean and Hungry Fitness, the trailer for WUCC 2006. Some great shots in there.
