Oh I love to hate this thing. One of my advanced clients saw it and was aghast... "why do YOU have an exercise bike?!" She asked. Visions of 80s leg-warmer wearing people cycling while reading magazines, eating bon-bons, and watching soaps churned in her head. I then explained that we'd really only be spending very short periods of time on this evil evil fan bike, and that it … [Read more...] about Assault Fitness Assault Air Bike, Fan Bike

Dragon Door Neuro-Grips v2.0
I've been a huge fan of Neuro-Grips ever since encountering them on the photoshoot for Jon Bruney's Neuro-Mass. While versions of these have existed for some time out there in the world, until now people have usually had to make them or have a welder friend construct them. Now you can simply buy them from Dragon Door. The new ones are made of steel and are improved in many … [Read more...] about Dragon Door Neuro-Grips v2.0
Hyperwear Hyper Vest Pro Unisex 10lb Weight Vest
Hyperwear sent me this incredibly cool weight vest for review, and I'm very happy to say that it has performed beyond my expectations. First, a confession--to do weighted bodyweight exercises like pull ups I've either hung a kettlebell off of one foot, or two light light ones (one on each foot), OR as when training for the Iron Maiden Challenge (which WILL be attempted … [Read more...] about Hyperwear Hyper Vest Pro Unisex 10lb Weight Vest
Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Under Armour. Must confess, before using Under Armour's Armour39 I have had a somewhat negative attitude towards the usefulness/relevancy of heart rate monitors in my own training. Part of this was due to past experience with bulky plastic HRM straps collecting sweat across my ribs and only providing very … [Read more...] about Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor

Stronger Grip Loadable Mace Product Review
Here's a very informal little video I just made today with 2 of my favorite SUPER BASIC mace exercises. For size reference, I'm 5'3" We love the Stronger Grip loadable mace "core club" with a 6" globe - the amount of fun it adds to our group circuits can't be denied. The first time I saw these maces was at the Super Human Training workshop with Bud Jeffries and Logan … [Read more...] about Stronger Grip Loadable Mace Product Review
Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells
They keep getting better and better, honestly - the ones which were at the Orlando RKC had a really nice finish on them, no need for sanding or dremel grinding - which was very good considering I had left such tools at home. I remember thinking how much I liked the one that I used for the snatch test, and how the handle was smooth and perfectly shaped to travel around the … [Read more...] about Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells
