• Review: 6″ & 5″ Harbinger HumanX Competition CoreFlex Belts

    Deadlifts, squats, snatches, kettlebell swings, atlas stones, double unders… …okay maybe not double unders. You could benefit greatly from having a good weightlifting belt while performing most of the above movements.  Personally, I try to not put a belt on until I’m going past my 90%’s just so I can train… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Primo Chalk

    (Wow, has it really been almost a month since my last review?! Sorry guys, I just got caught up upgrading my home gym! Follow my IG for updates to that. As always, thanks for reading and being patient!) Chalk abusers. We all know that person that hits the chalk bucket… Listen ⇢

  • Updates, updates updates…

    Hey guys!  Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve just been trying to gather my bearings ever since the games.  I’ve actually been putting a lot of work just cleaning up and rearranging my home gym so that I can fit more things in there…expect some pretty big gear reviews… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Brute Strength Supply Co. Plyobox (large)

    I’m a crossfitter, I’m a blogger, I’m a techie, I’m a geek.  I like to think I can do a lot of things, many fairly well, few pretty good, not very many bad.  Late last year I found out something that I was not, after I tried to put together… Listen ⇢

  • See you at the Games!

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I’ll be attending the Games this year. I wasn’t originally planning on it but since there’s a ton of people selling their silver tickets for way below face value, I figured it would be at least worth that much to go.… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Snatch Shorts by Born Primitive

    Have you ever banged your snatch so hard or so many times that you ended up with a sore or bruised FUPA? Chances are the answer is yes, if you’re doing it right. Until now, I usually just kept going until I just get numb to the pain, but I’ve… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Reebok CrossFit Nano 4.0

    I’m going to try something a little different this review.  As my experience with the Reebok CrossFit Nano 4.0 goes on, I’ll be updating the review to reflect what exactly I think about the shoe.     7/1:  My custom pair arrived today, purchased from the pre-sale they had at… Listen ⇢

  • Review: WODies

    One of the most common requests/questions I get asked about at my box are what products people can use for protecting their hands.  Personally, I’m not a huge fan of gloves, grips, or tape.  They’re either too cumbersome, don’t offer enough grip, or they’re just way too much hassle to… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Strike Movement Interval 1 & 2

    Being injured sucks. Almost 3 months ago now, I crashed and burned on a power clean and destroyed my wrist.  I haven’t been able to press anything since, and it still hurts.  I guess there’s a silver lining to this injury.  Not having use of  a hand means that I got… Listen ⇢
