Here is a video of Ben doing 30 muscle ups for time.
He set a new gym record today with a time of 7:47!
If you don't have a muscle up yet keep working on your pull-ups and ring dips.
Combine the two with a little technique and voila! Success!

Can you say March 29th! Do you know how much our your diet is derived from corn? Here is a preview of a documentary airing on PBS called King Corn. It is an entertaining and fascinating look at the American food system and how corn has come to dominate almost every facet of the modern food chain. It starts with two college students planting a single acre of corn and following its path from seed to dinner plate. Take the time to see it if you dare!
It's an eye opener!
Here is another link to an article by author Michael Pollan about corn and it's prevalence in our food system.
