First Annual Bar-Commission Bar-B-Q weekend

was a success! So many people came out and we thank each and everyone of you for making this weekend so special!

It was a beautiful event. Zef, Jude, Rick and Sheriff arrived at 430am Saturday morning, on no sleep, to hold down the tables and didn't leave until 10pm. The next day we hit up TSP. Zef got the FULL PLANCHE HOLD! and then went over to Wingate to finish off the day. Long weekend full of no sleep, plenty of food, tons-o-fun and a whole lot of working out.

This vid is a thank you to all who were there, in person and in spirit.



Special thanks to Andy, Zef, Ana, Jude, Rick, Sheriff, Keith, Anthony, Jeffery, Rob, The Tech family, The Phorm family, The Lois family, The Grevenitis family, Redd, Allison, B-Rock, DOC and many more...

First Day of Summer '09

Its been raining in New York for the past month, so the first day of summer wasn't to hot. We made the best of it though. Played in the rain like a bunch of kids. Good sessions!

Advice

We have been receiving many email about how to get started.

It always starts with the basics. Straight reps- pull/chin ups, dips etc. If you're just starting, practice every second day as the rest day really seems to help. Once you feel well conditioned, get creative, start freestyling and then you will be able to just go off of what your body tells you.

Bar Talk at Wingate

Here's some footage Redd and his wife put together. Wingate was the place to be that weekend.

Marines Push Ups

We've posted bodyweight training from a variety of sports and disciplines such as parkour, b-boying, rock climbing, martial arts, gymnastics, body building, park workouts etc. We'll lets not forget about the military! There training consists of mostly bodyweight exercises. In the video the Marines demonstrate what is called a Four Count Push Up.
