• Review: Inov-8 FastLift 370 w/ BOA Dials

    The question I get asked the most from people is “What Olympic lifting shoe is the best?”. I never really have a great answer for this; I feel like every shoe that’s a contender for “the best” have their own pro’s and con’s.  Really, it’s all about what’s going to… Listen ⇢

  • Rogue Fitness Ohio Power Bar 45lb Barbell Review

    I do “functional fitness”, so I’m going to approach this review from that angle. Truth be told, I’m probably better at the powerlifting side of it than I am at every other facet of the sport.  When the Rogue Fitness Ohio Power Bar was announced, I felt like I had… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Cyclone Speed Rope

    Back when I started my quest for double unders, there weren’t as many options for speed ropes as there are right today.  Just go to Amazon and search for “CrossFit jump rope”, and you’ll get hit with a plethora of different styles of handles and cable combinations; mostly that just happen… Listen ⇢

  • Rogue Fitness Bella Bar 2.0 Review

    I know what you’re going to ask me… “Joel, why do you have a women’s bar?!” The answer is, because I’m a caring, considerate, and giving individual.  But mainly because I’m a shopaholic and couldn’t resist the deal from Rogue’s games equipment sales.  I purchased this bar also so that if a… Listen ⇢
