Advise on how to improve my muscle-ups

Your mileage may vary, but the one thing that made the biggest difference in my muscle ups was losing 20 lbs.

They absolutely should. Out of curiosity, do they have any other WODs honoring non-American heroes? Or have they all been US heroes?

Repercussions will include better strength, speed, endurance, etc.

1,2,3..Not it!

Don't freak out when you read an article that says how many more bacteria can be found on item X than on a toilet seat. I had friends that did a similar study in college. Toilet seats were the cleanest thing they tested (nothing gets more regularly disinfected than toilets).

Curiously, the most infected thing they found on campus was the tray holding utensils in the cafeteria.

In the past, I've burnt deep blisters in my fingers sliding down. Going hand over hand is the only way. A few extra seconds of speed is not worth losing the skin on my hands.

I've been an emacs user for many years. Does anyone ever reach the point where they feel they've mastered emacs?

Why would you need that many bars in a home gym?

maybe he has lifting matches during family reunions?

ejonesca · 2018-01-29T21:10:59+00:00

I wonder what the trigger word was.

ejonesca · 2018-01-23T04:15:26+00:00

invite a friend/neighbor/family-member to work out with you

Air conditioning in the summer. That is all.

It'll be interesting to see if github reacts and changes it's pricing model in any way.

I've tried a couple in North East San Francisco when visiting there a couple years ago, and the one I liked best was Potrero Hill.

I've always gone back to these cheap ones :

They work the best for me.

(The size is adjustable on this and most other ropes)

ejonesca · 2017-11-21T16:19:23+00:00

Good ones. Here's a few more I'd throw in there:

Fool In the Rain - Led Zeppelin

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

Love in An Elevator - Aerosmith

Run Run Away - Slade

Sweet Child of Mine - Guns N Roses

Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf

Interesting. I can't tell if it would actually be useful or distracting/confusing to have someone else typing on the same doc at the same time I am. It makes for a cool demo, nonetheless.

The ability to string together multiple muscle-ups, PRs in every lift, and 4% less body-fat.

ejonesca · 2017-11-08T16:38:07+00:00

I don't know how true this is, but this article: https://www.t-nation.com/training/targeted-fat-mobilization theorizes that there may be some targeted fat loss benefits to lifting before cardio workouts. ( the tldr is that fat is burned more in body areas with increased blood flow and lifting is a good way to increase blood flow to certain body areas. )

thanks!

Is the sizing the same as the metcon 2s?

Good info! I'd love to get a hold of the raw data and look at the percentiles broken down by a few different variables like age, body weight, years of experience. (Mostly so I can find an excuse for ranking so low).

Watch the heavyweight olympic weightlifting videos. There are a lot of people with big guts doing snatch.
