Atom and Eve

I must confess, I've neve beeen a huge fan of the Atom, but whoever is writing this comic has dialed it in recently. Giganta has always been a favorite baddie since her appearances in the Suprefriends, but her character was never very developed, and the animators never really took advantage of her potential. Atom 17 is a great, fun comic with a lot more added depth. Whatever you're doing over there DC, keep it up.

Elite Rings

As a gymnast, rings were always my favorite and best event, but now as a fitness nut they're also the best tool for mxing up workouts. I confess I spent a too many years following a classic bodybuilding regemin and diet with limited results. I still love the weight room and egg whites, but the last 2 years I've really been focusing more on functional fitness, in part because my role as karate instructor requires applying power in more ways than a decent squat. Hence the rings.

The to advantage training with rings is twofold: (1) it forces all the muscle to recruit all the other fibers missed in ordinary weight training because your body needs more to balance a constantly moving load; and (2) it mixes up the workout.

I suppose the third advantage is a weird conversation piece. I met more curious bodybuilders in the gym when I'd bring in chains for powerlifting and the rings are no different. It's a good way to meet large people that can help the next time you need to move a piano.
