This happened by accident. My workout partner and I really wanted to get the 50' 1.5" Battling rope out for part of our workout - but the ground around our usual anchor (a basketball hoop) was super mushy - and we'd tear up the grass while also getting mud all over the rope. Clearly we had to figure out something else... The Problem of Portable Battling Rope Anchors A Very … [Read more...] about The Five Dollar, Fully Portable Battling Rope Anchor Solution!

Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
It happened again - I wrote a workout for an advanced/intermediate-advanced client then really really wanted to do a version of it myself. Upped the weights here and there, but kept the rep ranges pretty much the same. Slight modification to work around the old school Pavel pull-up program I dusted off for the season (more about that in a few more weeks time when I will have … [Read more...] about Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
