Applied Strength is the online home of personal trainer and fitness enthusiast Brett Jones. On both his personal and professional sites you’ll find interesting writings on kettlebell, bodyweight and free-weight training.

To get you started, a couple of pieces that are definitely worth a read :

• What is Old (School) is New
  A brief introduction to the world of kettlebell training - beginning with the disarmingly simple (though highly effective) kettlebell swing. Brett offers a few tips for improving the swing here.
• Programming for the Deadlift
  The creation of a simple program with a beautiful goal - increasing your deadlift.

Enjoy.

The Gymboss is a superb interval timer. As Jim noted :

'20 seconds never felt so long, 10 seconds never so short, and four minutes never so painful.'

Love it.
