Dan Osman scales the side of a mountain in like a minute. This is one most excellent feat of strength and conditioning.
Unfortunately Dan Osman died when he jumped off a cliff and his rope broke, but it would be sweet if he was still alive, still helping to teach us to test our limits. RIP Dan-O.
I am far too busy writing an article that is tentatively titled “The 10 Best Ab Exercises” to draft a post of decent length or content for you today. Instead I will leave you with these four moderately interesting, if not time leaching, links.
Skip the nutrition fluff stories and go right to the most important story of the day: Mark Buehrle’s Perfect Game
Today I would like to examine the physiological benefits of circuit training.
Many gyms offer standard cookie cutter circuit training programs, which are sometimes prescribed by the in-house personal trainer and recommended by other lazy staff members.
But what does circuit training actually offer you?
What are the physiological benefits and who is best suited to participate in circuit training?

 Manny Ramirez hCG |
Manny Ramirez, former Boston Red Sock, current LA Dodger, and president of the D-bag Hall of Fame is at it again. This time the guy gets suspended for 50 games for testing positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a female fertility drug. He was also found to have artificial elevated levels of testosterone in his bloodstream.
Specifically, hCG is often used in post cycle therapy (PCT) when cycling off the juice. It basically helps to restore and maintain testosterone production, which is also useful for combating impotence (eg. hCG helps men who can’t ‘get it up’).
Oh man, how did the Cardinals make it to the Super Bowl? No one saw that coming about 3 weeks ago, or even last week. After all, the Cardinals finished the regular season by losing 4 of 6, one loss was 47-7 to the Patriots, with a final regular season record of 8-8.

Sorry for posting so many sports related rants lately, but it’s playoff time for both college football and NFL. I just can’t help it. =)
 Tim Tebow |
The Florida Gators beat Oklahoma in the FEDEX BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Final score: Gators 24 – Oklahoma 14
Hero of the Game:
None other than the man Tim Tebow himself – 231 yds passing, 2 td, 2 int; 109 yds rushing
This is an update from my first Super Bowl XLIII prediction.
 Carolina Panthers |
I think this all went down back in September, but I just found out about it. Usually I watch this whole event on ESPN around New Years, but this year I was too busy with the fam to watch much TV.
In any case, as if you didn’t already know, Mariusz Pudzianowski won his record 5th Worlds Strongest Man title at WSM 2008. This is the video of the final event pitting Mariusz against Derek Poundstone in the Atlas Stones.
Seems to me that Derek had it won until he missed his placement on the last stone. For what it’s worth Derek, I’m sorry that you have to live with that. Good times.
 Brett ‘Rat Fink’ Favre |
Public Enemy #1 aka Brett Favre has successfully thwarted the Patriots attempts to make it into the playoffs this year. Thank you Brett for throwing 3 pics and completing only 50% of your passes.
So many little things could have gone differently, and the Patriots would be in the playoffs.
These four events come to mind first:
Please tell me, how did Florida lose that game to Mississippi?
 Tim Tebow |
On September 27, 2008, the Florida Gators (10-1) lost 31 – 30 to Eli Manning’s college team Ole Miss (7-4), but if they had not lost that game they would probably be #1 or #2 in the nation and they would definitely have an 11-0 record rather than 10-1.
Update: my bad, Florida is currently ranked #2 in the AP polls as of Sunday 11/23.
I mean Tim Tebow passed for 319 yards and one touchdown, and he rushed for another 2 touchdowns. Apparently the offense took the first and third quarters off, and the defense basically took the whole game off.
