He still (occasionally) misses cake.
I attended the class tonight (18/02/2010). I started the class thinking I was Gene HUNT from “Life on Mars”. Half way through the class, I begged for mercy, but Sally snarled and shouted, “it’s not supposed to be easy”, and made me carry on.
By the end of the class I was sucking my thumb and crying for my mommy!
HOWEVER BRILLIANT CLASS, YOU MUST GIVE IT A GO
Hmm…this looks like a mighty fine workout to me!
bar system check. 1/2 turn on number 1
11pm sunday… the blank spaces are u tube clips… probably still working trough the system
Steve certainly gave us some food for thought! God I’m so funny!
Any tips for getting functioning hamstrings again? Mine don’t seem to be co-operating!
Ahhh. Kitten picture forthcoming no doubt. Can’t wait. (p.s. Am missing CFL on my enforced sabbatical but hope to be back soon with 20 pull-ups). Ben
Time you invested in a cricket ball Trev…..get that under ya and you’ll feel like a new man
Looking forward to having you back soon, Ben!

I’ve got a question about the muscle-up progressions.
Is there an ideal number of reps to do? And should we be splitting them into sets with a defined rest period?
I get the feeling after the progressions that maybe I only did half as many reps as I could have. OTOH, I’ve definitely overtrained my upper arms twice in the past. So, is there a goal?
vary it. see some as 5 x 5 vsessions, others as max attempts, 1.1.1.1.1., but focus on getting the right position
This is the stuff of legend – I need it in my life!
