Olympiaden: Magin borta för Suleymanoglu: 17 september 2000
Han kom till Sydney som en av de sex stora. Dem med snudd på osannolika OS-guldsviter. Fast han bara mäter 150 cm i strumplästen och väger 62 kilo. Och kallas för ”Fick-Herkules”. Naim Suleymanoglu, 33, lyfte för sitt fjärde raka OS-guld i Sydney. Men magin var borta.
Misslyckad bantning:
Här är varianten som inte platsar i damtidningarnas bantarbilagor: Honungsmetoden. Australiske boxaren Bradley Hore smorde in sig med honung (:) och satte sig i bastun. Han gick inte ner i vikt. Men det luktade konstigt.
För Hore var bantarmissen dubbelt tragisk. Inte bara det att han blev kletig, han missade sin chans i OS också. Hore skulle boxas i 48-kilosklassen men hur han än bantade så kom han inte ner i mer än 49 kilo. Exklusive honung.
Den skulle få honom att svettas kraftigare var det tänkt, rent teoretisk alltså. Allt den besvikne mr Hore hade ätit 24 timmar före invägningen var en salladssmörgås som hans mamma gjort åt honom. (TT).

"Har du kämpat för att få en smalare midja? Har en och annan krona lagts ned på diverse träningsredskap som alla garanterar den slutliga lösningen? Tyvärr har alla träningsmaskiner med fantasieggande namn som "The wonderwaistmaker", "the bodyslimmer" och "the fat reducer" två saker gemensamt, de kostar pengar men gör lite för din midja."

NBCOlympics: Who will be the strongest men on the planet?: 16 oktober 2000
"After spending a lot of time in the training hall the last week, I've seen some incredible lifting. I've seen several world records set and tied. It's funny how you get desensitized to huge lifts; every time you turn around, someone is snatching close to 400 lbs. and clean-and-jerking close to 500 lbs."
Which woman will wear the crown?: 16 oktober 2000
"If there were betting on the women’s weightlifting competition, I'm sure the strategy would be to bet on the Chinese! If there is a Chinese lifter in a class, you gotta put your money there. In fact, if the Chinese were able to enter a woman in each class, they could certainly win all of them - and perhaps even sweep the top three places in each class. That's how deep they are."
MyoDynamics: Bench Pressing Your Way to Great Hamstrings: 17 september 1997
"Perhaps the finest hamstring exercise known to irondom, the bench press has been performed so haphazardly that, in the quest to pile on as much weight as possible, most trainees cheat so profoundly that they lose sight of the purpose of this movement- massive hams." (Via Metamuscle)

Ellington Darden: Seven Ways to Improve Your Calves:
"Well-developed calves are one of the most eye-catching bodyparts on the entire physique. And I'm not just talking to men. For women, muscular calves — in my opinion — are every bit as appealing as shapely hips and thighs, a tapered torso, high breasts, and a beautiful face and hair." (Via Metamuscle)

Now of course, don't lose sight of the point — I'm not suggesting that everyone in the reading audience automatically tone down their training… I'm simply suggesting that we all do a bit of reflection in an effort to clarify our objectives." (Via Metamuscle)
Yahoo! Sports: Mutlu Repeats As Olympic Champion: 16 september 2000
"Pound-for-pound, Halil Mutlu of Turkey might be the world's best athlete. Nobody else so small can lift so much with so little effort.
Mutlu, undefeated and virtually unchallenged since 1995, repeated as an Olympic weightlifting champion Saturday by doing what he almost always does - winning by so much, the only real race was for second place."
