cancel Cable TV

For your health.

child TVThere were three main reasons I hopped on the cord cutting bandwagon:

1. I got old.
2. I had a kid.
3. Netflix.

The kid thing was huge. We don’t let our three-year-old watch a lot of TV, but when we do it’s through No. 3 — Netflix. There’s a great selection of kid-friendly content and no commercials yelling at him in between breaks in the action. …

giant progressions

A new JAO video has been released. 🙂

Unusual in this series are downswing drills into a soft mat. I’ve never seen an Artistic gymnast use that on Bar — though in the past it has been a popular drill for Men on Parallel Bars.

Nice work, as usual.

I try to avoid the bent knee giant on low bar these days.

It’s less scary for little kids, but can result in some unintended consequences.
