Happy Halloween!!!
First, let's pick up on the Midtown workout:
For time:
Accumulate 100 seconds in L-sit.
Then go right into this sequence:
25 Knees to Elbows
25 V-ups
25 Skin-the-Cats
25 Windshield Wipers
100 Abmat Situps
Post time to comments. Perhaps a few of you remember (or have records of) doing this on October 10th, 2007. Most of you Brooklyn folk probably do not. However on November 8th 2009, we may do this again and you will likely see a major improvement so long as you remember to record your times - either here, in the gym's log book or via your own means. Really, it's worth it!
Finally, starting around 9:30 or so, come by the gym for the Brooklyn Halloween Party! I've only seen a hint of the decorating that Sam, Juan, Jeff and Dan have done and it's fantastic!!! Oh - and you *may* want to dress a little on the warm side.
Bad news guys. I got confirmation from Jon Gilson at Again Faster that the new Gill Athletics barbells (the black ones with end caps that labeled "700lb") are NOT standard weight. They are 38.5#.
We are all a bunch of pussies now.
Jeff,
I know you are concerned about your deadlift so here is a link just for you on how to improve it:

For those of you who were taping up for the 100 pull ups in Angie, please remember to check out Keith's instructions on how to make REUSABLE tape grips:

Make them now and you'll save yourself plenty of money, time, skin and blood.
