3×10
Jul 28th
Gone are they days when I could pop 20 chinups with the greatest of ease. But I’m climbing up that hill again. Today I successfully performed 3 sets of 10 reps of perfectly formed chin-ups. Hooray-ah for me.
I still have plenty of catchup to do to reach my little brother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld8-1wX_1o0
Slashdot Technology Story | Security Certificate Warnings Don’t Work
