• Review: Again Faster Team Barbell (Bright Zinc) (Discontinued Model)

    Update: This version is now discontinued, please refer to the review on the new iteration. (click for link)   If you’ve been following my reviews or if you read my review on the Fringe Sport Bomba bar, you’d know that I’ve only got positive things to say about Crossfit equipment… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Reebok ONE Trainer 1.0 – The not-so-quite-Nano.

    $110 for “Crossfit” shoes?! Give me a break. Yes, I too was there at one point of my life. I remember thinking this same exact thing when I took the plunge on my first pair of Nano 2.0’s. My Nike Free’s just weren’t cutting it though, so I said “What… Listen ⇢

  • Fringe Sport Bomba 20kg Oly Bar Review

    First off, before I start this review, I want to commend Peter and the team over at Fringe Sport for being such a great company to work with.  They pretty much bent over backwards to get me the right bar.  Super friendly customer service, not to mention fast and FREE… Listen ⇢

  • Reebok Lifter Plus…? Eh…maybe later.

    I know you’ve seen it in previous pictures on my blog, but I hope there wasn’t many of you guys out there looking to see a review of the new Reebok Lifter Plus.  Sorry, but it’s probably not coming any time soon.  As much as I’d like to give you… Listen ⇢

  • Not quite out with the old: Reebok Crossfit U-Form Nano & Nano 2.0

    So, some guy sees me trying on Nano 3.0’s in the Reebok booth at the games and comes up to me to ask/tell me:  “Those shoes are SOOOO much better than the old ones, huh?” “Uh, sure.” I reply, hesitantly. Him and his wife walk away triumphantly, as they think… Listen ⇢

  • Review: Hylete

    I seem to get the comment “You should just be sponsored by Hylete.” at least once a week. To say that I love the brand, is probably a gross understatement. If you didn’t know Hylete as a brand, they’re a fitness apparel company that sells everything from socks to backpacks… Listen ⇢

  • Ree-band? Ray-band? Rehband.

    I find It somewhat ironic that I would be blogging about knee bands while I’m sidelined by nothing other than a knee injury.  Alas, it was a request, and my first one at that. Disclaimer:  Knee bands will not PREVENT you from injury.  Proper instruction and form will guide you… Listen ⇢

  • (Really) Short Term Review: Inov-8 Fastlift 335

    My first run in with the Inov-8 Fastlift was back at OC Throwdown in January.  Except then, it wasn’t called the Fastlift, but rather the Crosslift.  I guess to drop the stigma of it being just a crossfit shoe, they changed the name to Fastlift.   Which IMO, doesn’t quite… Listen ⇢
