Albany Strength is the best of the hard-core gyms in the Albany, New York area.  The owners are powerlifters, and the equipment is the best that a serious lifter would need: bands, chains, power racks, dumbbells to 200 pounds, Inzer benches, etc.  This is the base gym of Pinnacle Performance and I recommend that if you're ever in the Albany area, you check it out.  Day pass is only $5.

Konstantin Buteyko is a Russian scientist that studied disease and breathing patterns of dying patients.  His discovery about the breathing process associated with death is revolutionary and contrary to what you may believe.  Check out his website for information that is different, compelling, and perhaps, life altering.  This is the kind of "out-of-the-box" thinking that I enjoy.
