- YouTube: excellent rings and pistols work.
- Straight to the Bar embeds a great air flair video.
- Crossfit Oakland really loves coconut oil (I have not checked the research behind those claims).
- Mark Sisson weighs in on soy.
Just a small thing... I recently discovered that the handles on the Yukon GHD are at just the right height to assist with pistols (one-legged squats where your off-leg stays extended in front of you). I've tried various other methods of support without much luck, and had pretty much given up on this exercise, but this feels like such a good fit I'm going to start pursuing them again. Anyway, yet another exercise to add to this very versatile piece of equipment!
I've mentioned this before, but Jim at Beast Skills really does incredible work both in the gym and on his weblog. Top-notch tutorials. Happy day, he has a new One-Legged Squat (Pistol) tutorial up!
Scott over at Straight to the Bar has been posting excellent stuff. The latest thing to catch my eye was his linkage to a great kettlebell certification video. The impressive stuff starts around 2:45 and keeps getting more impressive as it goes. The heavy double-arm Turkish Get-up is quite a feat. The explosive pistols at 4:00 are ridiculous. And the kettlebell bear walk at the end looks like fun. Painful fun, but fun.
