Very cool indoor caving setup, cobbled together with eye-bolts and hinges. Great pulling workout, and that knee-over-the-arm move is clever (makes it look easy, until you consider the grip strength involved). ‹via cr

Two more quick videos before I hit the sack: among all the impressive campusing videos on MoonClimbing (a few pages in), I was probably most taken with Doubles. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion I've posted this already, but even if so this acrobat training video is worth a rewatch.

A bit of a link backlog to clear out:

Three things to start off your Monday:

  • Insane. Dan Osman Extreme Climbing. The man goes 400+ feet straight up in under 4.5 minutes. Ridiculously fit and strong, not to mention crazy.« via kottke »
  • Although I'm not a kettlebell guy I really like the Clean & Press ladder circuit presented in The Minute of Strength, Issue #16. And I really like the look of the "Figure 8 to a Hold" movement, and the Super Plank (both in the latter half of the video).
  • Finally, here's the skinny on vibration platforms. Still seems like an expensive gimmick of dubious benefit to me. There is no substitute for hard work.

Update: Oh. Damn. Turns out Dan Osman died doing something different (but similarly risky) in 1999.

Hi

I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's about all the stuff I only know a little about, and wish I knew better (plus diversions, of course). I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I feel bad so I'm giving it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which will be gone soon, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.
