  As you go through the book learning Swings, Get-Ups, the Clean, the Press, and the Snatch, he takes you through intermediate steps to master the entire movement.  It would be like learning how to drive a car by first practicing getting in and out of the driver’s seat.  Once you have that down, you move on to the over-the-shoulder reach to retrieve your seat belt to put it on.  Then the key-into-the-ignition maneuver.

Product reviews

• Walkmeter App – Steve & Jason – [d]
  The KML links for your walk are very cool and are mapped over Google Maps.  Each walk can be associated with a route, or not; there’s an ‘All Walks’ bucket that unmatched routes will go into.  If you walk the same route multiple times, associating them with a route gives you best and worst times for your walk. You have the ability to start a walk, stop it for a time (going in to buy something, for example) and then start again.  The walk doesn’t conclude until you hit ‘Done’ when it’s uploaded and a message sent to Twitter. We both liked this app.

• EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5″ Display and Oversize Platform – Steve [d]
  Easy to read display, gives you your weight in 10ths of a pound.  Wide enough to get both feet on easily.  330lb limit, so I made my sister Amanda play guinea pig.
