Best website of the day - Women's Weightlifting!
I love this website and have been reading it for months. If you are at all interested in tough ladies hauling iron, check out Stumptuous!
Not to be missed are her weighlifting tutorials (esp. for women but valuable for all, in my opinion) and her persuasive writing on why free-weights and natural-lifting (ie, swinging hammers and carrying around heavy stuff like 50lb bags of sand) is infinitely better than weight-machines, for everyone at every ability, no exception.
Also check out her weightlifting news blog, with the latest article featuring girls who weightlift at a Florida highschool, the title photo shows a 17 year old girl clean-and-jerking 220 pounds! Holy Crap! Amazing! Scroll down for links to articles and videos of seniors in their 70s and 80s hauling the free-weights... "Nuland says by far the biggest threat to older people is not illness but becoming weak and fragile."
