Great Link for Fitness and Conditioning Equipment!

I was doing a search for homemade clubbells and kettlebells and I came across a site called torque atheltics. They have everything and anything in regards to the alternatives of normal fitness equipment. I thought you guys and gals would like to know where to pick stuff up like kettlebells, rope grips, etc. Enjoy!

Just Ordered the V-Max Weight Vest!

As per the title of this post, just ordered the vest! It was a Christmas present from my wife. I ordered the 50 pound vest. I'll let you know how it works out for me. Stay tuned! =)

Quick Thoughts on the Roto Press!

I gotta say... I love it! It's a great alternative to the everyday average push up bar. It puts a twist to things! No pun intended! =) It gives you more variety so you're not bored with the upper body work that you would do with or without push up bars. Not only does it take away the boredom factor but it also makes your body work more than it normally would with normal push ups. I would suggest this for anyone wanting to add more functional exercises to their current workouts!

Just Picked Up the Roto Press!

I just ordered the Roto Press from www.rotopressonline.com. I first caught a glimpse of it in the December issues of Grappling magazine and I checked out their website. I saw a few videos clips and some of the things you can do with it and I was sold! It's a cool new twist to the push up bar and what you can do and what it works. I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it in. Check them out! I bet you'll like them!

Also on a side note. As I skimmed through Eddie's book I saw a listing of other books through Victory Belt.
