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'.

As much as I enjoy making my own gym equipment, sometimes it's great to purchase a few pre-loved items. If you're in Kansas, you may be interested in this sale noted over on Chasing Kaz. It's a fantastic setup.

This looks great. Anyone had a chance to grab a copy yet?
