Welcome to Straight to the Bar

If you’ve just joined us, welcome. Here you’ll find everything that grunts, groans and ticks in the world of strength training. In short, this site is the home of all things strength.

 

Incidentally, this site’s been helping people become fitter, healthier and stronger since January 2004. If you’ve just joined us, I highly recommend subscribing to the weekly Strength & Fitness Newsletter (part of the Strength Kit), which contains details of new posts on the site, freshly-minted video demonstrations & tutorials, details of upcoming Gymchats and a whole lot more.

And yes, it’s absolutely free.

 

To help get you started, here are a few of our most recent posts. And if you want to dive in to a particular area. check out the ‘Start Here‘ page above. Enjoy.

Habits for Mastering Anger: 10 Steps to Take Control and Tame Your Temper

It’ll come as no surprise that we discuss a lot of fitness-related books, courses & podcasts; on this site as well as the various networks noted in the sidebar.

We’ve noted a few of Dr Tim Sharp’s podcasts in the past, and his latest offering – ‘Habits for Mastering Anger: 10 Steps to Take Control and Tame Your Temper‘ takes a similar approach. Thorough, personal and extremely helpful.

If this is an area of concern, this is a highly recommended series. Dive in.

Incidentally, I’m always looking to add to the ‘books to read‘ list. If you’ve come across something which you’d love everyone else to check out, drop me a line.

There’s also a list of our all-time fitness suggestions over there. Dive on in.
