SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

Thanks for the compliment Ben! I was a little tipsy (read half in the bag) when I jumped on top of that parking meter in flip flops.

Yes, we were wrecking shop that night in Giant Jenga. Epic night, that was. We need to do that again soon brother.

You're going to get me boxes to jump on??? Dude, that is pretty much one of the best gifts I could think of.

I've never tried those kipping pullups. I do mine dead hang, pause at the bottom. I take it you can do more that way?

It actually seems to vary from person to person. I prefer dead hang as well. I've seen some people very good at kipping that can do twice as many as me in half the time though. Kipping pull ups are a more efficient way to do high reps IF you do them properly.
