It’s been a busy week. We’ve passed the 2000 post mark, survived another week of mayhem, and trained hard for next month’s Virtual Meet. In the meantime :
- Articles : Jedd Johnson – a goldmine of information on all things grip – compiled his superb Straight to the Grip Contest series in a handy PDF (print it out and give a copy to your friends), Bucknell University’s Jerry Shreck discussed the prevention of ankle injuries and I took a look at the current state of affairs regarding mainstream media coverage of strength sports.
- Videos : Zach Ruffo demonstrated some of the basic speedbag techniques, bodybuilder Mario Strong performed one of my favourite strength feats – blowing up a hot water bottle and Priscilla Ribic showed us what sumo deadlifting’s all about with an incredible WR pull of 556lb at only 148lb. Not bad at all.
- Sites : Enjoy the fun of climbing and bouldering in Finland with Slouppi, calculate the length of your run with RunningMap.com and find out what to do about that nagging shoulder pain at the Shoulder Doc.
- Food : Chef Lisa McGovern begins cooking the power foods, Mark Sisson points to 44 finger-lickin’ recipes and I discuss the things to look for when buying fish.
- Bonus : If you missed the EliteFTS Boston seminar, take a look at these – several clips of the guys discussing many things to do with strength training, and a few that don’t.
To get you started, here’s Matt Kroczaleski discussing change in your routine (in this case, heavy DB rows). For more clips, swing by the EliteFTS page on YouTube. There’s some great stuff there.
