    What are your thoughts on the "kipping" pullup? jumping pullup?

    Some people say its cheating, but for those of us who cannot do a strict pullup, is it better to do more of those until you can do one strict pullup, or are negatives better?? Also what is your favorite ab exercise in the new sts series?? everyone has a favorite right ;-)

    "Periodization" versus "Randomization"

    Positives: Once you get the choreography, it will be fun Negatives: I cannot believe I am saying this, but I love difficult choreography and usually get it down on the FIRST try - no probs - but this one tripped me up several times. This one might take me more than once to get down . . . I...
