About Straight to the Bar

Scott BirdStraight to the Bar is the online home of fitness enthusiast Scott Bird. The name of the site comes from a love of weight training (leaning more toward Powerlifting than either Olympic Weightlifting or Bodybuilding) as well as a short-lived - though certainly passionate - obsession with alcohol. The two don't necessarily go together, and fortunately the weight training won out.

In addition to the site containing a great deal of information on the physical accomplishments of others, it has reviews of hundreds of articles, books, podcasts and videos - in fact anything which might just help you in your own fitness quest. Make yourself at home.

About Scott Bird

Scott is a writer, photographer and a guy who just loves this stuff. He's been at home in front of a computer for more years than he cares to remember (OK, 25) and is now making amends for years of many mistakes noted in the recent De-constructing computer guy articles (part 2) on T-Nation.

Stalkers may wish to track his every move via Jaiku; everyone else is cordially invited to hop over to his online home. Enjoy.
