Eddie Bravo This was certainly a video-filled week here on Straight to the Bar, with the following highlights :

Unassisted Dead Hang : one of the less common strongman feats, and you’ll quickly see why. Mike Bruce hangs himself.
Kettlebell Swing, Clean, Squat : Tracy Reifkind demonstrates this beautifully simple combination.
Rubber Guard : The man himself, Eddie Bravo, demonstrates this superb technique.
Heartbeats - Apex Acrobatics : a beautiful old-time strongwoman display by Apex Acrobatics.
Bonus : Documentary on Bruce Lee’s famous One Inch Punch. Enjoy [streaming, 17.25mb .flv download].

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.
