Muscle-ups
30 muscle-ups for time
 <- Can't do a bar muscle-up and don't have rings available? Try substituting a hip pull-over on a bar instead. Trainer Alex S. shows us how. Except the bar he is on swings a bit. And rotates. But don't say anything - maybe he won't notice.
“Well you see, Norm it's like this.. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones a the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed an health of the whole group keeps improving by the regularly killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.” - Cliff from 'Cheers'
Hey Gang,

"In short, the only thing they share is the one thing they profess to dislike; the general idea of authority. It is quaint that people talk of separating dogma from education. Dogma is actually the only thing that cannot be separated from education. It is education. A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching." G. K. Chesterton, (from What’s Wrong with the World, 1910)
