We have some excellent Articles this month. Read about my experience with Clubbells, as I was personally coached by Scott Sonnon. Garret McElfresh has written an informative article on caring for your Rotator Cuff. If you're looking to ditch gravity, don't miss Brett Jones' article on increasing your vertical leaping abilities. October marked the beginning of a new strongman event, the Tactical Strength Challenge, read a report on the proceedings from Rick Bauer.

If you need an idea for a new Kettlebell drill, try Hammer Swinging. It is an unreal drill for core strength, brought to us in this tip from Tom Corrigan.

This month we are starting a new column in our magazine called "Health Tips from the Experts", be sure to check out all of these simple ways you can improve your health.

If you have ever wondered about the book For Your Body Only, be sure to read this month's Interview with Dr. Gregory Tefft. He is a three time Natural Mr. America and a leading expert on personalized nutrition.
