Pavel Tsatsouline's latest newsletter points to a thought-provoking piece - "The Soft American" - written by the great JFK. Although it was originally published in December 1960, do the main themes still hold true?

German Olympic Weightlifter Josef Steinbach.

Karl Gillingham deadlifting two Inch Dumbbell replicas at once [.mov, 764kb]. One of several great videos over on the Jackal's Gym site.

Brian Carson points to a Combat Conditioning video [streaming, 22.9mb .flv download] showing Matt Furey demonstrating the Dand (the 'Hindu Push-up' in his vernacular). It's a great exercise; particularly as part of a morning bodyweight-only workout.

An interesting idea, and well worth checking out.
