BYOI

on June 4, 2009 | by

I remember back in the day, BYOB’s were some of the best parties to attend. Well, next to keggers where $3 bought you your booze for the night. I mean, $3 won’t even buy you a domestic beer at the bar anymore, let alone a nights worth! But I digress; let me get to the […]

Exercise of the Week: Band Assisted Chin-ups

on June 1, 2009 | by

Today’s exercise of the week is the band assisted chin-up. This is a great variation for several reasons: – Obviously, not everyone is strong enough to perform full chins in the beginning.
