Toronto ladies: Wanna try a fun new fitness activity? Come join us at women’s judo. We are fun, nice, and not scary! Just lots of goofing around and getting sweaty in pyjamas — no smashing. Message me for details. We need more chicks on the mat!!
Update on Krista Schaus
Years ago I wrote a profile of lifter and strength coach Krista Schaus for Stumptuous. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve known her, and now… she’s MY coach and colleague. I just had the pleasure of writing another profile of her for Precision Nutrition. Check it out!
Product Review: The Zero Scale
A scale that doesn’t show your weight.
Is this some kind of Zen joke?
How much do you weigh?
I don’t know.
Think about that Q&A for a second.
Imagine how freeing — how liberating — it would be to never know your weight.
In case of confusion, please refer to this helpful guide.

Roller Derby boobs
As Stumpamaniacs will know, I recently did a piece in Five on Five magazine, on strength training for roller derby. Just heard from a derby fan who tells me that one of the members of the Rose City Rollers, Devaskating Deva, underwent a double mastectomy. Her teammates have come up with a novel idea for raising funds to help defray her medical bills: They’re selling plaster casts of their breasts.
Should you wish to help a worthy cause and own yourself a nifty new bosom or two, check out their Facebook page and eBay page. If nothing else, bask in the appreciation for the delightful diversity of breastitude.

Just wanted to remind y’all that you can find Stump goodness on Facebook, and there is some very juicy discussion happening already. Join the conversation!
Vulnerability is/does
Great post on vulnerability from Brene Brown. (If you aren’t reading this woman’s works, you should be.)
“Sometimes the toughest part of embracing vulnerability is recognizing vulnerability. There are so many secondary emotions that spring to the surface and grab our focus…
It’s always so helpful to be reminded of the many ways that vulnerability shows up in our lives. Leave a comment telling us how you fill in the blanks (on one or both)…
Vulnerability is __________________.
Vulnerability feels like ___________________.”
I’ll start.
Vulnerability is putting myself out there on Stumptuous.com. Vulnerability is living publicly, warts and all. Vulnerability is admitting that I’m an “expert” who fucks up.
Vulnerability feels like I want to run and hide. Vulnerability feels like crawling under the desk. Vulnerability feels like I want to eat the world.
Sledge yer iPhone
You readers are simply wonderful! It’s been a very creative week here at Stumptuous.com. The latest artistic endeavour comes to us from reader Tim, who’s produced a vector illustration of the 2011 calendar’s sledgehammer shot suitable for iPhone.
Why not sledge yer iPhone and be reminded with each phone call that every girl (and boy) needs a big hammer in her life?
