John Brookfield's latest Grip Tip (on the Ironmind site) is definitely one of the better ones. Incredibly simple (just pick up a plate and go), and more difficult than you might imagine.
Good fun.

This looks like it will certainly be worth the wait : Strong Magazine. Fantastic.
Via Powerlifting Watch : the trailer [streaming, 4.7mb .flv download] for an upcoming Andy Bolton (first man to deadlift over 1,000 lb - video) training DVD. Speed deadlifts with 585 lb? Love it.
Blaine wraps up this month's article series on the many ways of keeping in shape without really trying, this time examining the benefits of dancing. As someone who only dances during weddings, I can definitely attest that it manages to hit muscles I usually manage to avoid. There's definitely something in that.
If you enjoy wrestling, you'll love this - Wrestler Nation. Photos, articles and events. Perfect.
Via TX Kettlebells : Valery Fedorenko demonstrating both the KB short and long cycles. Very good stuff.
I love browsing through eBay, second-hand shops and the local markets; so, apparently, do the guys over at Swapatorium. Their latest discovery : a $20,000 (original price) exercise bike + video setup, that looks uncannily similar to my Reebok Cyberrider.
Apart from the price that is.
What will fitness gadgets look like in another 25 years?
Chris Benoit : 1967 - 2007.
More great bed-of-nails action [streaming, 4.1mb .flv download] via Kentucky Powerlifting. Two guys and an engine block. Very, very unusual.
From ArcaMax Health and Fitness :
In most healthy men, testosterone production reaches an all-time high in the late teens, and levels remain relatively stable for up to two decades. Between the ages of 30 and 40, testosterone levels begin to drop at a rate of about 1 to 2 percent per year.
Although testosterone replacement therapy has historically been considered as part of the treatment for Hypogonadism (usually a condition afflicting younger men), more recently it has been used to help ward off the effects of aging. For the men out there - is this something you would consider? When?
