Dr Eric Cobb has some fascinating - not to mention deceptively simple - ideas. This interview by Chris Shugart took me into Dr Cobb's world of Z-Health; DJM (Dynamic Joint Mobility) Training in particular.

If the interview leaves you hungry for more - and I've no doubt it will, especially once you've taken off your shoes and tried the foot stretches discussed - there's a brief video [.mov, 1.6mb] showing part of a training session on the Z-Health site. Still want more? New versions of the Neural Warmup DVDs are in the pipeline. If anyone's already seen the older ones, I'm very interested to hear any thoughts.

Matthew Perryman is a self confessed 'student of weight training'. His powerlifting blog is well worth a read.

Three audio interviews I've noticed this week which should make breakfast a lot more interesting (don't worry, I still eat when I've run out of audio podcasts for the week) :

Dave Tate chats [.mp3, 6.9mb] with Coach X (aka Buddy Morris) about the Horse and Carrot Theory, De-Loading, The Max Effort Method and weak points. A great listen.

Strength Radio's Jason white was interviewed by Renay San Miguel on this week's audio podcast 'Digital Life' [.mp3, 8.9mb].

Another - slightly older - audio podcast that's well worth a listen is episode #7 of Crossfitlive, which features an interview with Dan John [.mp3, 25.4mb].

Just to get you in the mood for a bit of kettlebell action - here are a few photos from Pavel's last certification workshop.

Strongman finally takes root in Australia (and I don't just mean watching it on television). Guess I know where I'll be this september.

I enjoy a lengthy walk now and again, and I certainly took my hat off to Steve Vaught as he trekked across the US. But a 12 year walk around the world?

That's dedication.

This evening I stumbled across some great videos of various feats of strength on the Guinness World Records site. Amongst them (unfortunately without video) is the Fastest Pogo Stick Jumping up the CN Tower. All 1,899 steps of it.

Now, running up it* I can understand; but a pogo stick?

• If you're not in Toronto but still fancy a stair climb (without the pogo stick, that is), there's a list of major events around the world here.

My next birthday isn't for several months yet, but here's a site to keep in mind : The Birthday Challenge. Usually in the form of n whatever on your nth birthday (40 handstand push-ups on your 40th, for example), it could be an inventive way to demonstrate your fitness to all and sundry.

Anyone got a birthday coming up?

As it states on every page of his site, Jim Biancolo is not a doctor or fitness professional - just someone who keeps themselves in pretty good shape. The title of one of his posts last year, Low-Tech, High-Effect (a link to a Ross Enamait video which itself is well worth downloading), neatly summarises his training philosphy.

His blog, Lean and Hungry Fitness, is definitely worth a read.

Punch Gym's Anthony DiLuglio demonstrates [.wmv, 2.8mb] a modified version of what is generally a fairly difficult move : the kettlebell two hands anyhow. NB : you'll need two kettlebells of different weights for this one.
