Odd Haugen, that is. Jedd shows the 'Visegrip Viking' as well as wrestler Mark Henry hoisting a circus dumbbell weighing 202lb, with a 3" handle. Nice one.

Tom Furman points to some great videos demonstrating the Piper System. Great stuff; make sure you also check out A Pointed Truth (the Piper System blog).

When I'm buying a new book or CD I generally begin by looking at a few reviews on Amazon. However, with training gear it's a little more difficult. If you're considering purchasing a new item for your martial arts training, Martial Arts Product Reviews is a great place to start.

Tracy Reifkind demonstrates a great kettlebell exercise - the Waiter's Walk (performed here in conjunction with a bit of kettlebell snatching) [streaming, 3.7mb .flv download]. Not bad at all.

As you can see from the photo, it finally stopped raining here long enough to begin painting the kettlebell (still a fair bit of work to do before it's ready for the contest). Also this week :
I seem to be inadvertently preparing for a Tactical Strength Challenge, with the deadlift, kettlebell work and chin-ups comprising the bulk of my training at the moment. Plus a good bit of grip work.
The deadlifting sessions are still done largely according to feel (although a couple of ideas suggested recently by John may form the basis of a more structured routine). Rack pulls of various heights, different grip widths (all of them done double overhand), plenty of chalk and a healthy dose of obnoxious music. Beautiful.
The chin-ups followed Week A of the new routine, which focuses on the two-handed stuff. The only minor change may be the lat work - at least the bent rows performed between sets - which may end up forming a separate accessory period. All the chin-ups, followed by all of the lat exercises.
As for the kettlebell, well it's out of commission for a couple of days (until the painting is complete). Looks like it's back to the dumbbells for a bit.
