ANOTHER MUSCLE UP!!!! ANOTHER MUSCLE UP!!!!

John Bisson got a muscle up that was witnessed by many (including myself).  I think the pressure David Ball put on him was just too much to bear!  Kidding.  It continues to amaze me when someone gets one, it looks like they have been doing it forever.  Everyone makes it look so darn easy.  I [...]

  • WORLD-CLASS FITNESS IN 100 WORDS:

    Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Dead lift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
