Straight 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 training articles and 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.
