Another insanely busy week here on Straight to the Bar. A few finds :

• Articles : Mike Robertson's The Hardcore Lunge and Chad Waterbury's Full Throttle were the major players.
• Videos : Ano Turtiainen box squatting, How not to tear a phone book, Air time technique and Oleg Teplitski - the Strongest Juggler in the World. Not to mention the Diesel Crew having some fun.
• Interviews : Jim Bathurst (Beast Skills) talks to chinning legend Jack Arnow, and Zach Even-Esh again brings home the beauty of training outdoors.
• Health : Krill oil, Nutrition books and sword swallowing x-rays. OK, perhaps the sword swallowing is a little risky.
• Bonus : Dave Draper talks about training over 40. Oddly, I'm quite looking forward to it.
