• Reebok Lifter PR Review

    Back when I purchased my first pair of weightlifting shoes, I had done a ton of research  before landing on the original Adidas Powerlift Trainers. Honestly, what drove my decision back then was price. Weightlifting shoes don’t come cheap, but they should last you quite some time before you’ll have to replace… Listen ⇢

  • Viter Energy Mint Review

    I have a problem: I’m a caffeine addict. Like super irritable, grouchy, and just overall unpleasant when I don’t have it. Like all drug withdrawals, I get crazy headaches when I’m deprived. Sounds pretty intense, right? Because it is. Earlier in the year I took a trip to Japan, first… Listen ⇢

  • HIIT Bottle Review

    Fitness as a whole, has made huge strides within the past 10 years. So why has it taken so long for shaker bottles to catch up?! I was still using the same old shaker bottles that I’d had for almost 10 years up until earlier this year. Why? Because nothing had… Listen ⇢

  • Position USA Blue Suede Shoes 2.0 Review

    “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” In sports these days, manufacturers are constantly trying to one up their competitors by coming out with new space age fabrics and cutting edge technology for their products, namely their shoes. Most of it sounds like some mumbo jumbo you’d hear in a sci-fi B-movie. I’m… Listen ⇢

  • King Kong Backpack II Review

    To say that I have an affinity for backpacks is an understatement. Personally, I have a stockpile of backpacks; some for style, some for utility, and some just for the hell of it.  Whether it’s for gym, work, or play, everyone needs a nice backpack. Now, I get that most… Listen ⇢
