Many of you may not know that One Worlder, Ryan Adler, was a professional magician in Las Vegas for two years. He wowed us one night at dinner with a bunch of "how the hell did he do that" card tricks. Ryan (aka Radler) has agreed to let me post some videos of him performing magic at the gym. Ryan still does magic professionally and wants to do a magic show at One World. All proceeds will go to charity. I'll keep you posted, but for now, enjoy the teaser videos.
Radler showed off his magic skills. Here is Alex showing some hard work. I caught Alex' third attempt at 5 x max chest to bar pull-ups. He got 17 on the attempt prior. A video camera is always a good motivator. Great work Alex!

Put some thought into it or go run into oncoming traffic. At least BE FUNNY. JUSTIFY your usage of bandwidth and the oxygen you consume.
