Just ran into this t-shirt by SignOn-Enterprises. You can buy this product and more, or have just about anything printed just up the road in Burkburnett. You can also find them on Facebook.
As you all know, we at WFAC and StartingStrength love the trebuchet. Aside from being intrinsically cool, it is a good way to illustrate concepts of moment and acceleration that apply to lifting weights (see p204 of Starting Strength 3rd edition).
Oakland Ballisticsunderstands these principles and also sells a nifty little mini-trebuchet kit.
Video will be forthcoming.
You can get your very own from the Oakland Ballistics website or indirectly through Amazon.
In case you missed out, there are a few articles posted up on the HuffPoby Mark Rippetoe. It’s all basic training concepts and exercise information YOU already know about, but these things may be the perfect place to get started for friends & family who are wandering out there without even a straw house.
